Time is directly tied to all space and matter and it is as malleable and evident as the computer in front of you. Time is more than simply a measurement. If it were, all time would pass by at the same rate, and it does not.
Take a Mayfly for example. Mayfly lives for only one day. But a day (24 hours) is purely a fabrication that man has developed to gain the illusion that time is measureable using the sun. That Mayfly may only live a day to us, but that same period may be a complete 70 year lifetime to the Mayfly in comparison. As Einstein pointed out, all time is relative.
A wormhole is a singularity in time and space. A pinpoint of such mass that the forces it attracts literally pull time and space into it until it impodes, creating a tunnel between to areas of the universe for instantaneous travel (if a vessel could ever be invented that could withstand the forces inherent in a wormhole). This was explained a little in Dune with "folding space".
So if time could be bent, could it be destroyed or even shaped to our liking?

Well, something to think about.
