Or just a simulation? Some physicists postulated a five dimensional ring shaped black hole and found it's not compatible with general relativity because it would lead to a naked singularity.
It's not a wormhole and it wasn't discovered as much as imagined.

I get that string theory is elegant, but it hasn't predicted anything testable yet. We should be able to resolve Sagittarius A*'s event horizon in the next few years. I doubt we are going to be seeing any naked singularities as much as I would love to see it.
