Great movie,
I knew the end before I got halfway through.. didn't bother me though.. They explain the therory of relitivity very much if you are watching the movie. The reason they noth did not age is because they were both together through out the entire thing, wjen they went down to the water, every hour there was equal to seven years in normal time. The same thing with the ending, when they went into the singularity it was goimg to push them 50years ahead. They explained that only gravity was able to travel back through time, It can be difficult to understand if you don't pay attention, Mathew m was great in it, |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
OP, since these types of threads always end up with jerks talking shit instead of actually explaining anything, i will help you out. Gravity affects time, and places with very high gravity, such as a black hole experience very distorted time relative to someone outside of the high gravity area. this is called time dilation and for people inside the high gravity region, time appears to move normally, but for anyone outside looking in, they would essentially be ageing very very slow. that is why coop and brand were only gone for a few hours but the black guy who stayed behind aged 24 years. it was because of Gargantua's massive gravity. Hold on. Are you saying I age faster if I'm around fat people? I want reparations!!!!!!!!! |

Quoted:
It's probably a better movie if you understand science and have a rudimentary comprehension of relativity. That must be it. Naw, that can't be it or it would have been rated PHD. It was a fucking mess from a scientific as well as entertainment standpoint. It is the bastard child of 2001 and Pulp fiction. Interesting. What particularly about the science did you find unpalatable? Well we can start with the fact that, in order for a ship to enter and then leave conditions with the extreme time dilation as seen in the movie in such a short period of time, the ship would require more delta-v and acceleration than it could plausibly have with any propulsion method yet conceptualized as a real technology. Then we can move on to: Habitable terrestrial planets orbiting a black hole do not work, at all, under any circumstances, ever. How about the completely unrealistic portrayal of wormholes? Total bullshit, what was shown in the film doesn't even resemble the theorized wormholes in actual science. Hollywood bullshit. Then we can tackle the issue of them traveling tens of thousands of AUs in a few hours, and at the same time making massive trajectory alterations in seconds on a ship with limited delta-V. These two things are mutually exclusive. No spaghetti effect when he got close to the black hole? The movie was scientifically retarded. All the fucking people in this thread, thinking that Interstellar was so smart, and acting like those who see it as the steaming pile of shit it is don't understand science. It's laughable. The movie is less scientifically valid than Star Wars. Have you guys heard of the Time Masheen ride? It's great, and all science-y too. You guys will love it.

It is very relative depending on speed and or gravity. The reason the astronauts didn't age and everyone on earth did was due to the massive warping of spacetime from Black Hole "Gargantua" on the other side of the worm hole. I don't know if you caught that little bit about the reason the wreckage on the water planet looked so new was that it had just happened before Coop landed but it took several years for their message to reach earth and another couple of years to fly another ship to find out what happened to the original explorers. The couple of extra minutes that they wasted flying close to Gargantua and dodging the waves on the water planet set them back 20 years in earth's local time. Relativity |

They have some future form of propulsion that doesn't take up a lot of space like hydrogen or solid rocket fuels. They fly back and forth between planet and the mother ship and can even leave the orbit of earth sized planets. Who knows, in 2040 maybe fusion or ion engines are the norm. By 2070+ the earth did have the technology and ability to build those Dyson ring ships at the end. |
