Interstellar's Black Hole

[Anomalocaris]

In a new paper, published Friday in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Thorne, along with co-authors Oliver James, Eugénie von Tunzelmann, and Paul Franklin (all three of Double Negative), describes the methods used to create the black hole featured in Interstellar, and why a more scientifically accurate simulation was excluded in favor of a flashier, "less-confusing" one.

The visuals of the black hole and the wormhole were impressive.

Now if only they had shown a shred of scientific reasoning with the time-dilation aspects of the movie...

The movie would never end for us then if we watched in from here.....

And some people say all this science and quantum physics, just fell here, no great creator, it all just fell here from dust. Amazing !!!

Maybe you better clean that dust out of your ears, because I've never seen or heard anyone say it came from dust.

Oh, so all the science, all the mathematics, all the absolute beauty came from just ZERO??? well that's just more AMAZING !!!!

What is absolute beauty? Some subjective property?

Science and mathematics came from humans, what's amazing is this ignorant diatribe against science because it doesn't acknowledge your imaginary friend.

Your comments truly portray the arrogance of some of humanity. Thankfully we are not all of that persuasion.
