To some it is harder to suspend reason and logic and be willfully ignorant in order to enjoy a movie riddled with flaws. This is compounded by the fact that gravity was more so a regular piece of fiction that happened to occur in space.

yeah i guess, i find it really easy to get immersed in films and ignore stuff as big as acting etc, well for me there isn't bad acting a lot of the time just bad characters
i think all should watch it also it's pretty short and as op wanted modern films

from the interstella wiki 'The time dilation on Miller due to the gravitational forces of Gargantua would be tantamount to the planet moving at roughly 99.99999998% the speed of light.' who thinks that's a realistic speed for a habitable planet they're trying to land on?
i do love interstellar a lot more than gravity but they tried to say they had worked out the science or something, i guess you had the same problem gravity but i didn't hear about it as much

^So not getting to see Sandra Bullock's body was the real problem with that movie?

I don't think they ever claimed it was scientifically accurate, it's just a story that could take place in reality so gets more criticism
I thought it was better at this than like interstellar which actually tried with the science. Like the amount of time dilation they had on the water planet would have made it ridiculously close to the black hole and zero chance of it being habitable, not to mention that the planet doesn't rotate or orbit a star
I was thinking the black holes gravity would be a problem but the planet orbits it without rotating so doesn't experience the force, still the massive orbital speed that close to a black hole is stupid


The science in interstellar is extremely accurate actually, if you bothered to look it up. Even the stuff we don't actually know about and I'd just theoretical is accurate the theories.

And I didn't say I wanted to see her body I said she isn't a good facial actress and they cast her for a role where she had to be good at facial acting.

They say that and some of it's good like the wormhole but some of it's rubbish like what I've mentioned, you don't have to take their word for it just because they did a lot of reasearch/used real science. There's no way a planet that close to a black hole would have an atmosphere, and the waves thing is silly in that situation. Also i think there's going to be problems accelerating upto that speed but i can't be bother to think about it now with the planet orbiting+black hole

Here's some other reason why the planet can't be that close

So you think a black hole would suck in a planets atmosphere? Didnt you know - atmospheres are magical. Every vacuum has proved more powerful than gravity - so why doesnt the vacuum of space suck up our atmosphere?

Must be magic Rainbow Force obviously... <_<

Just found a new one called ARQ

Same idea, pretty good

Nah it's possible to get something like that into orbit, although the difference in nearside and far side forces might be a problem, not sure of distance etc cba. I just can't see it forming in the first place with the amount of different complex elements needed. Plants with atmospheres are pretty rare and black holes really aren't endearing to this sort of thing

Oh good a random comment on a random forum what a good source.

Fact is the time dilation is 100℅ plausible if the smbh was also spinning very quickly. There is a book written by actual physicists that is all about the science of interstellar, maybe read up on that instead of random person number 57964367 from the internet?

Please that was all done it retrospect and where one physicist can agree 20 might disagree. Half of what they did was ridiculously theoretical anyway, like planets/neutron stars forming a system around a black hole, then they add ridiculous stuff like a wave system/humans being able to land on it. And because one physicist writes a book on it everything is fine? Does he even cover that, if so I don't see how he shows stuff miles beyond what the scientific community think is possible.

Why don't you see what some other physicists think?
Might seem like a biased thread but this is the only physics forum you need to use and the only topic i could find about the movie lol
