Feasibility of a black-and-white FTL drive?
I have an idea for a faster-than-light spacecraft that I would like to run by the expert minds in this community for a plausibility check. Basically the interstellar ship itself is of unspecified dimensions (you can decide that bit) and its means of traveling to other star systems is this: it generates a small black hole and keeps it suspended a set distance in front of the ship (along the vessel's central axis) and it also generates a small white hole at the opposite end of the ship along the same axis. My working idea is that the ship gets propelled through space away from the white whole and towards the black hole simultaneously. Feel free to poke the idea full of holes (hehe) as I know it's kinda kookoo.

Let me see if I got this right.
You want to conjure an object, have it contain enough mass and gravity to collapse on itself without dissipating, motivate it to move at FTL speed, drag your vessel along with it, then create an new repelling object, motivate that object to follow you at equal speeds, close enough to push you towards the dragging object, all the while keeping these objects perfectly aligned to make sure you are absolutely centered between them, then poof-begone these objects, while you remain, having arrived at your destination, while hopefully not having messed up the destination by moving a black hole and a white hole into their neighborhood at FTL speed?
I actually think it would be more feasible to invent warp-speed.
