True !! Hope I helped you out a bit!
Explanation :
The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:
Weight, (W)
Force due to air resistance, (F)
Upthrust force, (U)
Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.
In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.
so, 
and 
so,
....................(1)
when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so
..........(2)
solving equation (1) and (2)

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
It depends, because worm holes are theoretical construed of space and time. It hasn’t been proven to exist but mathematically it hasn’t been spotted but we also haven’t been very far in our universe.
So to cut the story short, it is not a proven phenomenon only theoretical.
