    They’re missing a fusion reactor capable of positive energy output?

          That’s the absolute worst analogy of wormholes as well. They don’t fold space, so stop folding the piece of paper.

              Explaining wormholes by folding a piece of paper is a bit like explaining tunnels by folding a piece of paper. It’s totally not what’s going on.

              They don’t fold spacetime, they don’t need to, they are shortcutting through spacetime via higher dimensions. Rather like tunneling through a hill rather than going over the top.
