Would there be forces acting on a body as it traverses space near a wormhole?


If I think of the 2D explanation of a wormhole - how it's a topology that lets the ant crawl to a different place on the folded paper - there is no hint that the ant will experience any forces on it as it traverses this part of its (bent in 3D) 2D space-time.


Is there any reason that an object traversing the area near a wormhole in our 3D space time would feel anything unusual in terms of forces acting on it? Where would these forces be "coming from"?


Popular science fiction depicts the journey through a wormhole as something very eventful.



I'm wondering why the 3D space in this area is any different to the space we traverse elsewhere? Does going near "bent" space result in forces on us?
