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.

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

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.

Scott Manley has a couple of nice videos about wormholes:

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

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