Was this the original "explain a wormhole with a pen through paper scene", or have all of these movies been coping Event Horizon?
>>
>>224039823
It was good explanation

I remember versions of it in science documentaries on Discovery or The Learning Channel (that used to be what those channels were about) but I can't think of one in popular fiction that predates EH.

Just get the pen and paper.

Yes.

That helps the learning process.

Im pretty sure some early episode of stargate and the movie Contact have it too, but I couldnt tell you who did it first

>>224040251
the novel A Wrinkle in Time, published in 1962, features a character explaining a wormhole, complete with illustration, but it's a piece of string or fabric, not an object pushed through paper.

It made sense to me.
What doesn't make sense to me is just how the fuck they think the math worked outside of hypothetical.

To create a gravitational singularity you'd need all factors, we barely have a grasp on our own planets gravity to specific decimal places.
Let alone a random places gravity. there is no way to account for every factor like no shit a single decimal point variable being wrong would have you sent through a planet occupying space with other atoms and create anomalies.

you don't understand why they didn't show the math they didn't have in a movie where it's not relevant? is that really what confused you?

Read my post again ESL anon.
>how the fuck THEY think the math worked
they sent a team on a highly experimental to the point of absurdity mission using at best equations they were literally guessing on.
it's not sound logic in any situation.

>Death is a doorway
Tzeentch funneling the know-how into Dr. Weir's head via his grief over the death of his wife. Chaos needed Humanity to start punching holes in reality to supercharge the Warp in preparation for the Emperor's Rise in the next few centuries.
Good Math was not required.

bro over here pretending tranny slop is related to event horizon.
>>
>>224042148
That makes perfect sense when you consider it was a small crew dispatched to launch the Event Horizon to test it and theres no mention of AI anywhere in the setting to do it autonomously.

Test pilots exist. They paid some brave men and women to turn the machine on and see what would happen. And that is a reasonable decision. They explicitly state FTL is impossible and humanity is alreadh colonizing the solar system in the setting. So they ran out of space. Humans want to go everywhere they can, and the Event Horizon wormhole was a big, big possibility. If it had worked, it meant humans could travel anywhere in the entire universe if they could get the math down for the area they wanted to go. They'd go from 1 solar system to every galaxy in existence potentially. The biggest jump in progress that could -ever- be made.

Only works when you can snort sandworm shit and immediately start crunching numbers.
