Event horizon (film) / wormhole?

"a spaceship lost since 2040 that was supposed to explore the limits of the solar system and has a revolutionary drive that creates an artificial

-Wikipedia

The film says that an artificial black hole in the drive can be used to speed up the light. Wouldn't the gravity of this hole cause the entire ship to collapse? And there's no mention of a wormhole in the entire film. Otherwise Super Sci Fi - horror film on Netflix.

Super film, but just a film.

Isn't there a wormhole? I can remember a scene where the guy pushes a pencil through folded paper. This means the black hole / wormhole.

Otherwise yes - everything is sci-fi.

The film is great. Since this is all fiction, you don't need to expect realism. But who knows what will be technically possible in a few years?

I personally think that someday it will be possible to travel at almost the speed of light. However, the acceleration phases would then have to be extremely long in order to make the pressure on the body survivable.

I wouldn't expect too much reality. Often these films are also not well researched and often have problems with credibility. It is not uncommon for real effects to be incorrectly named or misinterpreted.

So it is quite possible that the "black hole" in the film means the Alcubiere warp drive, which creates a local space-time curvature around the ship, or it is a unidirectional wormhole, i.e. A combination of black hole and white hole only as a black hole been designated.

What you are addressing is also a problem that physicists occasionally deal with. Films like StarTrek are often checked for their plausibility. This would specifically involve stabilizing the wormhole. A pure combination of black hole and white hole would probably not work. You would have to expand the singularity in the black hole so that it does not collapse completely. There's consideration, for example, of being able to stabilize something with exotic matter, precisely the matter that would also be necessary for the Alcubiere warp drive and which is currently doubted that it exists.

If the black hole is very massive, the event horizon can be exceeded before the ship is destroyed by the tidal forces.

Such a black hole is in the centers of galaxies.

Yes that is correct. However, every time it is called a black hole
