Each end of the wormhole endpoints are themselves in an inertial frame so observed time will be the same on either end. It may not look the same if you take a telescope and point it at the other end, but thats perfectly fine. We can always choose reference frames to make things look contradictory. But absent wildly different gravities to break symmetry, an observed hour on one side would correspond to an observed hour on the other for anything passing through it. | |
