I saw at least 6 people describe star trek warp engines as “folding” space before I posted! The warp engines in star trek don’t fold spacetime like a wormhole, they contract spacetime in front of the ship and expand it behind the ship. You know, warping it! I’m having trouble getting images to upload with the migration but here.
Because I couldn’t find anything that explains both folding and warping in a cute 8 minute video, so I posted the one that at least explains folding, figuring people on a Star Trek forum will be smart enough to infer the difference. Here’s a nearly 2 hour “intro to black holes” video as well as a collection of videos talking about warp drives if you’re interested.
yeah, i am “smart enough” to infer the difference, otherwise i couldn’t ask “why are you showing video that explains the wrong answer to the question discussed”. that is heavily counterintuitive 🤷♂️
I don’t mean for that to come off as rude, I was including you in the intelligent comment! Anyway, it was mostly a silly post in a silly thread about silly science fiction and this is turning into not silly fun anymore so I’ma peace out!
i couldn’t care less about if someone on the internet calls me dumb, i was just really confused, because you seemed to be arguing the right way and then linked to the wormholes video. peace 🖖

ok, but why did you link to Wormholes Explained?
