The Wormhole Hall of Shame

We never see the wormhole in Stargate, at least under SG1 canon. It's microscopic and simply used for transporting a matter stream. The ring field is a matter destabalizer and recombinator, pretty much the same thing as Star Trek transporters. Thats why radio waves can move two-way but matter is one-way.

Now if you're using Movie canon, yeah, it's broke.

Also, Marvel? Those aren't wormholes, they're magic portals.

If you’re inclined to add any more, consider Outer Wilds! “Black holes technology” is a major plot point and shows up as a neat gameplay mechanic in a couple places.

Scott Manley has a couple of nice videos about wormholes:

The second video is about how the first video was made.

Seconded, and don't worry, the initial art gets a lot better over the decades. :)

Nothing requires the wormhole "surface" to be a sphere, just like nothing requires the wormhole in the 2D analogy to be a circular hole. If you make it a sphere with one flat side, travelers won't have to traverse curved space (with the attendant weird tidal/gravitational effects).

PSA: This was posted 4 days ago and seems to have been given a "second chance", so take all the HN timestamps with a grain of salt.

Doctor Who's Time Vortex is not a wormhole...

How does a 2D creature see curved space? https://youtu.be/9JbYDDjhnx4

Unsure where to safely step forward. The bending boundary bits look terrifying.

I thought stargates were explicitly not wormholes. For one thing, they're one-way.
