2)That seems like what happened in the movie "Wall-E". Not sure I like that.
3)This is a difficult one, having such advance I.A. would be trouble, wouldn't it?
4) We have more knowledge about this planets than of wormholes. :/
I'm curious to know, if this planets can support life, how come there isn't at the moment? If anyone knows, please tell me.
1) Wouldn't teleporting be limited by either the lack of some kind of "assembler" at the target destination, or the massive energy needed to "shoot" us such a large distance without losing any atoms? I could see teleporting being more of a thing we could do in the future between two pre-established points (e.g., you could teleport from one "phone booth" to another), or for short distances (couple hundred feet? non-orbiting pomegranate -> ground? But not 600 lightyears)
2) Never seen the movie, though it's been on my list for quite a while. :/
3) Depends on who you ask. Yes, there are many potential sci-fi/horror movie plots in there, but it's an idea.
4) That's what science is for. I'm not even sure if the idea of the existence wormholes has been debunked.

Without threadjacking this to a meaning / origin of life thread:
If you ask a Creationist, then God / FSM didn't work his magic on the planet (yet?).
If you ask an Evolutionist, then life basically came from random chance, which hasn't occured yet. This article mentions nothing about the age of the planet.
Of course, this is assuming that there isn't any life already there, which we can't tell (from this article anyway).
