The bottom photo (left) appears to show the sea flooding an airport runway! In fact, the entire runway is about 30 metres above the sea and completely dry. The 'flood' is a mirage.
If our spacecraft were parked near a black hole, what would we see? We might see gas pouring into the black hole. In fact, scientists infer the existence of black holes by observing the light emitted from hot gas presumably falling toward the void. We would see the event horizon, or perimeter, marking the point were light seemingly disappears, like water going over a waterfall from the angle of rafter upstream.
That light isn't really disappearing. Gas will freely cross the border of the event horizon without needing to present its passport. Just before the event horizon, the tug of gravity is strong, but light emitted from the gas can still escape the region. Once the gas crosses the event horizon, it is likely still emitting light, but we cannot see this light. This is because gravity is so strong that it prevents light from shooting out towards us. Gravity sucks the light back. Thus, the event horizon marks the regions of what we can and cannot see.

it had something to do with spinning water at the speed of light, would produce a wormhole. something about it becoming infinitely heavy or something.

In the meantime, here's more photographic strangeness from ancient Eridu:
Count the visible fingers on this hand (hint: the opposable thumb is hiding):
And this is the side view of Enki (remember the sumerian texts called him the "Great Dragon" - pretty dinky for a "dragon" but there he is, nonetheless. This piece is thought to be circa 4000 BC:

Ancient history is a good place to start. Have you noticed how about 300 years ago or thereabouts, all our ancient history texts were basically ruled unreliable because they mentioned "supernatural" events? All religious texts, (many of which were historical texts that were simply labelled "religious"), except the hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, were said to be falsehoods. Using the hieroglyphs, they attempted to set a timeline for ancient history, but ignored everything else. That was a big mistake.
Nearly every ancient civilization refers to a place called the "underworld" and a place called the heavens, both of which appear to be more than simply metaphors for the planets and stars rising and setting into and over the horizon. The ancient Hindus and some of the Buddhists, said the only way to access the upper levels of heaven was via Mt. Meru (also called Mt. Sumeru), which wasn't an actual mountain but a reference to a ziggurat in ancient Sumer (this is the pivotal point, but I don't want to overload your circuits with too much information if you aren't aware of any of these ancient stories). The ancient egyptians also believed in an entrance to the underworld and a boat which travelled on heavenly waters (et.al, a mode of transportation) which carried them into the heavens. The ancient sumerians referred to otherworldly places which were accessed via gateways into the underworld, and gates up to the heavens.
I guess it all depends on how much you know about ancient civilizations and their texts. Do you know anything about ancient Sumer?

Now, thinking on the subject of 'stargates', how we would percieve them, what the effects would be like, etc, I keep coming back to hyperspace/higher dimensions... The idea of adding an extra axis ('w'+) to our 3 dimensional x, y, z axes. What would that look like? How would we perceive it?
We see in 2D and intuitively extrapolate 3D (depth) from secondary effects such as forshortening, changes in size/shape in relation to other known objects, shadows, etc. What would an object look like to us as it travelled along the 'w' axis? I would think it depends on what axis your viewing the object from.

There was a really cool video that went over this kind of examples but in trying to explain 4d to those that know 3d. It is really mind bending to think about things like that
