The problem with Sci Fi

This morning as I contemplated getting out of bed, a random thought occurred to me. In 1995 there was a show called Sliders, it used a string theory premise of multiple dimensions. A worm hole could be generated to allow passage between the same space in different universe's. Based on current understanding this should be possible. And of course you have the unlikely possiblity that a grad student would come up with it in his basement.  In the pilot episode said graduate student has some pretty nifty looking equipment that sucks so much power it dims the lights.

Okay, I'm with it so far. It would take an exorbitant amount of energy to create a semi-stable rip in space-time, with me so far? 

What I can't figure out is how a tiny device could randomly generated new worm holes on pen light batteries and why don't they die? 

The power source he uses should be the real story!
