[sp]So how the hell the first planet was able to have those giant waves, it was from the gravity of the black hole?[/sp]
yep

You know how the tides work on Earth?
Imagine that, but bigger.
Still find it odd why they decided to go to Miller first to begin with
So that comic got released.

[sp]It doesn't reveal anything special imo. Also kipp seems like kind of a dick.[/sp]
The beginning of "Mountains," [sp]sounds like falling droplets, while the Ranger's engines slowly drain water from their flooded components.[/sp]
Sounds like a clock to me, with time slowly ticking away...
I thought it sounded like both. I wouldn't doubt if Zimmer super imposed both those sounds (dripping and ticking) on top of each other.
"Coward," is one track with a tempo of 60 BPM. that fits the imagery of seconds on a clock
"Mountains," is slower, so i take it to be [sp]the dripping sound. but hey, time is relative, so why not also ticking.[/sp]
This film was AMAZING. I think it deserves #1 on IMDB...
Watched it twice now, great movie.
In the scene where Professor Brand slides back the boardroom wall to show Cooper the rocket, did anyone else wonder why NASA would build their boardroom at the bottom a launch chamber?

Actually I've been wondering about a similar subject; how would tidal forces work on a planet with a regular sun, but instead of a moon it has large visible planetary rings? Would sea levels be slightly higher around the equator?

The moment the doors opened I said out loud to my friend, "They ought to fire the architect"
It was either because NASA didn't have enough money to build large or Nolan didn't have enough money to make a better setting.

I don't think rings would affect the tides as much because they're all individual pieces of matter all with smaller gravitational forces. It would probably be negligible affects.
I'm still in full effect of the film, wow. I cant even write down how great this film was

You aren't alone on that.

So an Earth-like world without a Moon would have less balanced tides overall than we have on Earth? I know that our Moon's gravity affects the tides on Earth, just as apparently the Sun has similar effects from much further away, so without the Moon that would leave the Sun alone to affect the planet's tides. At least that's what it seems like.

Yeah that's pretty much it. However the time dilation on the miller planet is most definitely not scientifically accurate.

I simply can't wait for this to be released on bluray.

Please show some respect for professor Kip Thorne who determined after 6 years of research that this was the best place to put the boardroom and made total sense
Yeah, I thought the whole design of the NASA launch silo was kinda odd

Actually it's perfectly possible to have that level of time dilation with a planet in stable orbit around a black hole . Critics like Phil Plait actually had to retract their criticism of the representation of time dilation because they ignored that it was a rotating black hole.

Oh right, I totally forgot the massive difference between the non-rotating and rotating.
I still don't get how Cooper was saved and how time passed in the end?

lol those nerdes are even doing all the math
'No Time For Caution' was added to the OST :)
