Yes, that is correct. The gravimetric wave/bubble that is created protects anything within it, which would include the vehicle creating the bubble, and inhabitants of the vehicle itself. It is also theorized that anything approaching the speed of light would have a similar field around it repulsing small particles, but this is again theoretical and we are only starting to see research able to answer these problems.

Oh, we've seen this have we? News flash. Everything you just wrote is pure speculation and theory, and... mostly science fictions. We have NOT seen any of this. We have no idea what happens with black holes. The first image of a black hole was
captured in 2019 and that only captured the silhouette of the black hole. Nothing more. We are still working on theory and computer models to envision black holes. We have some really good science behind what we think happens with black holes, but we have really good science behind other things, like gravimetric waves, warp bubbles, and possible FTL travel. We are now just getting to the point where we can begin to prove or disprove some of this really good science, because that's how science works.

To think matter especially living matter can survive the speed of light is pure science fiction.

No it isn't. Again, general relativity explains it is possible.
