Hello /sci/,
In the movie Star Trek 2009, there is a black hole that OG Spock and the Romulans travel into and come out of. They specifically refer to this as a "black hole" multiple times throughout the movie. Am I a dumbass, or is this more of a wormhole, rather than a black hole?
Is it actually possible to travel "through" a black hole like Spock and Nero did? Or did the writers just fuck up, and I shouldn't be thinking this hard about an action movie?

Wormholes were originally proposed as a bridge that might be able to exist between pairs of black holes, or a black hole and a "white hole." If you ignore the whole issue of traversability it's mainly a semantic thing.

It's theoretically possible to travel through some kinds of black holes. Particularly the ones that aren't spinning

what is it about black holes that makes them the number one most popular popsci topic of discussion amongst the brainlet soience fangoys?
is it the comic bookish aspects of the spectacular, unrealistic and completely non disprovable conjectures which go along with the topic that make black holes so popular amongst the scientist posers and wannabes?
