So, how accurate is really this film. The whole blight excuse to abandon Earth seems contrived and turned me off. It was cool to see the time dilation, but I'm sure this one is exaggerated too, specially with the inner more extreme planets. Obviously the inside of the black hole is complete bs, but what else?

what is it about black holes that makes them the number one most popular popsci topic of discussion amongst the brainlet soience fangoys?
is it the comic bookish aspects of the spectacular, unrealistic and completely non disprovable conjectures which go along with the topic that make black holes so popular amongst the scientist posers and wannabes?

The book explains that while everything is within the realm of possibility, everything is taken to the extreme or is unlikely.
The blackhole's spin is essentially the maximum speed one can spin.

Miller's planet would have to be extremely deep in Gargaunta's gravity well for the amount of dilation depicted.

The accretion disk was made exceedingly dim compared to the average in order for it make sense for Gargantua to be useable as a type of sun and look good on the render.

There is one thing that is plainly wrong in that they used a neutron star as a gravity assist but the amount of assist necessary would only be possible with another black hole, but having 2 black holes would be confusing for the viewers

Most scientists agree that love is the only thing that transcends time and space

Stars, color, light and matter 'transcend' time and space. This is a valid pattern.
>>
>>16296668
Space is negative. Time is negative. And they are symmetrical.

Stars, color, light and matter are different positive frequencies.

>how accurate is really this film
The only semi-accurate thing is the proposed appearance of a black hole with an accretion disk, everything else is pure scifi

>>16296511
The entire plot was retarded.
>There's a disease killing crops on Earth
>So we have to go through a wormhole and colonize a new planet instead of just living in domes on Earth

When they visit NASA, there is a room filled with crops that were thought to be extinct due to the Blight, further proving they could have just created domed farmland and been completely fine.

Also the retarded time paradox - humans from the future created the wormhole that allowed humans to go to another part of the galaxy. Humans, who would have all died because the Blight would have killed them due to the only solution to surviving the Blight being a wormhole that requires humans to not be killed by the Blight to evolve and create.

Mathematically, any universe is possible. So the events of any film you've watched can take place in some universe where it all makes logical sense.

The base premise of the film - that human must reside on planetary surfaces - is faulty. Humans can create earthlike habitats in free space using asteroidal and lunar materials, and seed them with Earth life for high-quality living space with 1960's technology.
