Gargantua warps space-time its gravitational strength bends Miller’s planet (which, according to Kip Thorne, is as near to Gargantua as it can get without falling in), stretching and squeezing it toward and away from the black hole. After a massive tidal wave hits the spacecraft and delays their exit, they find that 23 years have passed on Earth. Due to Gargantua’s massive gravitational pull, “every hour on that planet is seven years on Earth”. It’s orbiting Gargantua, the massive glowing black hole that exists in the foreign galaxy. After passing through the wormhole, Coop’s team decide to land on Dr. The idea that gravity can be harnessed in this way, or can travel across dimensions, is speculative science-fiction, but it’s rooted in theoretical astrophysics. But as a character later notes, “the equation couldn’t reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics. The gravity equation seeks to manipulate gravity, using the anomalies, in order to “get a viable amount of fuel and life off the planet”.īrand has been attempting to “solve gravity” for 40 years, to no avail he’s even built his entire facility as a space station in preparation. If the Earth is dying, a mass evacuation of humanity is nearly impossible with current rocket propulsion technology. The gravitational anomalies observed by Coop, Murph and Professor Brand lead to a complete reevaluation of the scientific understanding of gravity. So I started working on the theory.Įssentially, the gravity equation is Professor Brand’s attempt to control gravity. Suddenly we knew that harnessing gravity was real.
