leave the love stuff out of it and its still a pretty good movie...point is the ending cant be proven right or wrong...just someones interpertation of whats inside a blackhole.. lets say though that if you did live in the fifth dimension then what you would see would be something close to the tesseract in the movie. Love had nothing to do with the ending IMO, it was just thrown in there.

I didn't see the movie, but I understand not always being super scientific. Feelings are good too sometimes.

yeah good stuff...that made me want to go see the movie...the movie was a treat if your into those kind of things...they tried to keep as close to the science as they could.

actually the ecretion disk around a black hole does glow...and black hole do shoot out beams some of them.

Interstellar had the most accurate depiction of a black hole using real math from kip thorne...if you were to look at a black hole this is what it would look like:

it actually was super scientific with feelings thrown in...i mean they consulted the leading expert in the field on this...he had a lot of say into what was possible and what was not..

yup as a science nerd i loved it...my wife and sister enjoyed it also even though they didnt quite understand the science.

I'm starting to think the only way the Flyers win a cup is if Ed Snider manipulates events in time while in the 5th dimension.

I do not believe in anything past 3 dimensions. If I cannot see, feel, or manipulate it, I do not believe in it. I live in a 3 dimensional world. If you want to call time the 4th dimension, that's fine, but I live along with it, not in something I can control or interact with.

Theoretical physics and its 21 (is that the number) dimensions is great and all, but I will be long dead, as will my great-great-great-great-great grandchildren before it actually becomes useful (sorry, I don't consider smashing atoms together at supersonic speeds to create miniature black holes "useful.")

lol if he could spend his billions to go to the fifth dimension im sure he would.

actually you live in a 4 dimensional world, but you only percieve three! if you lived in three there would be no time!

That's fantastic. If I live in a 4-D world, but only perceive 3, then why even bother with any more than 3? I believe in things that can be sensed, not in things that can be roughly guessed at, or that are created to math an incomplete equation fit a hypothesis.

If we can't perceive time, then why do we have clocks?

Checkmate, atheists.

lol

guess you're right. The friction of the matter around the "dip" in spacetime would probably produce light.

I've never seen one though.

Quasars and pulsars though. That poop's nuts.

- Giroux_Is_God


Pulsars are the most accurate clocks in the universe.

you kinda off comparing yourself to the people that thought that the world was flat.

why not explore the possibilities.

Clocks are instruiments created in a 3-dimensional world that record the passing of time, not something that allows you to perceive or interact with time.

Measuring is different than influencing. for instance you can change 3d space, ie move a object but you dont have the ability to go back or forward in time or influence it...the nly way to do that is if you are in 5th dimension.

Well when we've used up all available energy in the world creating 1 million antiprotons and end up creating a black hole at the center of CERN to prove the existence of 50 dimensions, you can say you're right.
