Hey here's a link, it looks like Neil DeGrasse Tyson has already talked about this movie. I'll link it, if the link doesn't post, just search youtube for his name and "movie interstellar". I am off to watch the videos now. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Neil+DeGrasse+Tyson+movie+interstellar

2024-09-16 10:09:38 +0000 UTCWow. Wonderful movie. I always heard it was good but I never got around to seeing it until now.

2023-08-29 02:33:13 +0000 UTCInfo dump for you. Closest star to Earth is the Sun. Next nearest is Proxima Centauri at about 4.2 light years away. A light year is measured by teh speed of light. So it would take you 4.2 years travelling at the speed of light to get there. Sadly, based on our current understanding of physics speeds up to and certainly exceeding light speed aren't possible. This is partly due to the effect of time dilation (time slows the faster you go) and energy needed to propel you to those speeds. As to your other question at the end. The guy on the last planet we can assume has died at some point in the years that have past. The first planet they went down on put them into the time dilation field of the black hole (gravity can slow time effectively) and 28 years had past by the time they came back to teh ship. Add in the ten years the original mission had been gone for, plus the age of the person (say 30) and they would be around 68 years old if they didn't go into their sleep pod. Could have died to any number of reasons over the years too.

2023-08-13 00:35:42 +0000 UTCthe argument could be made that we are 5-dimensional beings and have control over 4. the first 3 dimensions are the proportions of our physical beings. the other two dimensions are time, as you said, and space (our physical location). As you said, time continuously moves forward, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we are physically moving. Your example of a meeting time is actually a better suited a demonstration that time and space are linked. If I tell you to meet me at 12pm, your next logical question is "where?" If I ask you to meed me at a specific place, you'll ask "when?" It's really demonstration that time and space don't make a lot of sense without each other. Edit (from the future, haha): I suppose now that I think about it more, since they are linked, space and time really are the same dimension which would mean that you are correct in saying that humans are 4-dimensional.

2023-08-12 06:07:50 +0000 UTC2 years to get to Saturn is actually remarkably fast. As for "It took them 2 years, how many light years would that be?" ... the term "Light year" causes a lot of confusion since it's not actually a measurement of time, but a measurement of distance. Specifically, it is the distance light travels in a year, in that respect "light year" is very literal and is roughly 6 Trillion miles. Just to close the loop, it takes the light from Saturn to reach Earth roughly 80 minutes. Since there are 525,600 minutes in the standard Earth year, Saturn is roughly 0.00015 light years from Earth. 80/525,600 = roughly 0.00015221

2023-08-12 03:37:55 +0000 UTCWe view human beings as being 3 dimensional, but in reality we are 4 dimensional. We only have control over 3 of the dimensions. For example I can say hey guys let’s meet at X, Y, Z coordinates at 12pm. I have control over x,y,z and can change them, but I can’t change time. It only goes forward. So by that logic a 5 dimensional being has control over the 4 dimensions (including time) so time is no longer linear only moving forward. It’s all at once. So they have access to all moments in time past or present and have control over it like we do with the other 3 dimensions. So it’s not that he went “back” in time. What he did always happened and it always will happen, his present self just didn’t know because he hadn’t done it yet(although he would eventually). That’s how “time travel” “works”. The age thing is absolutely real and verified science. The larger the gravitational pull the time changes relative to the viewing perspective. So while they went to the water planet for 3 hours because the other guy was out of the gravity pull it was 23 YEARS for him. The same when they went into the black hole. They only aged minutes but the universe outside of the pull aged 51 years. So that’s why Edmunds was dead. When they say Cooper was 120+ years that is only in REFERENCE to everyone else. His body was actually only 31+ the 2-3 years of travel they did.

2023-08-12 02:21:49 +0000 UTCGlad I watched this one. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why people liked this one so much, and it was because I was thinking this was a completely different movie (Contact I think). This was a fun ride and definitely a lot of hard concepts to wrap your mind around in this one.

2023-08-12 01:34:42 +0000 UTCThis was the movie that caused me to break up with Matt Damon. His character was so spineless.
Lucy
2023-08-12 00:54:33 +0000 UTCThe best way to grasp the concepts of the movie is to go to ChaptGPT and say "explain gravitational time dilation to me like I'm 12 years old." :)
CS
2023-08-11 22:07:44 +0000 UTCfun fact, time slowing down in a strong gravitational field is absolutely real. GPS satellites/computers operate on such precise time scales that they have to take into account the fact that time passes slower on the surface of the earth compared to where they are in orbit.

2023-08-11 20:38:04 +0000 UTCAmazing movie! The main thing to take from the end of the movie is the equation to save earth couldn’t be solved fully because you needed the data you can only find inside a black hole. So when him and TARS where in the black hole, they transmitted the data from inside the black hole to Murphy through morse code on the watch, so she could solve the equation and get people off the earth!

2023-08-11 18:46:25 +0000 UTCIf you strip all the sci-fi trappings and just look at the bare core of the movie, it's about a man (let's call him... Nolan) who has to go very far away for his job (like, idk, shoot a movie or something, maybe?), and misses out on being with his kids while they grow up. And while he feels that his time away is short and he hasn't accomplished exactly what he envisioned (like doing a perfect movie), he is surprised at how much his kids have changed and grown without him when he gets back. And he wishes he could find a way to reverse time and have stayed during their childhood. It's just a sweet story. The mind-bendy scifi is just the dressing.

2023-08-11 15:54:24 +0000 UTCMy takeaway was always that the "fifth dimensional" future humans capable of manipulating gravity across time (and also keeping Cooper alive during his excursion into the black hole), were all descended from the new home planet that Brand sets up at the end. I think it creates a paradox though, where Brand and the Endurance cannot get to the new planet to set it all up without the wormhole in the first place, and the wormhole doesn't happen unless the future humans have descended from the planet which Brand sets up so that they can help Cooper survive while in the blackhole so that he can send Murph the gravity cheat codes. Movie messes with your mind, but it's definitely one of my all-time favorites. If you want another Nolan movie that will blow your mind (and my personal favorite of his), check out The Prestige. It'll stick with you.

2023-08-11 15:31:01 +0000 UTCWARNING:: POSSIBLE SPOILERS As I was browsing sites to better understand tessaracts, I found this linked article about a possible Interstellar 2.. It's mostly about the director and his other films, but there are several paragraphs explaining the ending for the first movie. https://screenrant.com/interstellar-2-movie-updates-release-date-story/
Rose Dallman
2023-08-11 15:17:34 +0000 UTCI've seen the movie several times and, bit-by-bit, started to understand "parts." But was never able to pull everything together. Watched your reaction and was suitably impressed with Asia's explanations at the end. So I went to iMDB and found the movie synopsis. It explains quite a bit in laymen's terms (thank God). I could never understand all the bits at the end: "they" meant humans in the future; the space with the libraries was a tesseract; his aging, etc. The synopsis really helped, and it doesn't have equations!
Rose Dallman
2023-08-11 12:00:03 +0000 UTCHis future self was warning himself to NOT GO on the mission. STAY. He didn't go back in time, he was in another dimension/time in the future. I think :D

2023-08-11 08:12:23 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! The Martian is a must now
Jaime Alvarez
2023-08-11 07:37:05 +0000 UTCFor this being the first time watching it.. you understood so much more than I did when I saw it in theaters hahah I had walked out of the theather thinking "what did I just watch?" I loved it but had no idea exactly what it meant or happened. This second time though, it all made more sense. I cried three tiiiimes. LOL Love always wins and is the answer. Such a good movie and man oh man, when he just kept saying "stay!".. and the handshake. I forgot how good this one was. If I may suggest another.. ..Contact with Jodie Foster. =) More space, more aliens, more unknown haha

2023-08-11 07:27:24 +0000 UTCProtractors? LoL Yes! Interstellar is defiantly more than just a 'D'! Haha ya'll are so entertaining! Keep up the good work! P.S. When's the next Stranger Things reaction coming? Can't wait!
Mister Lou
2023-08-11 06:29:23 +0000 UTCI finally understand this movie fully! I’ve seen it 3-4 times. But this time it took some sweet sweet edibles, some vodka (shout-out stranger things Murray!!!), some sweet ass whippets, and some hard seltzers to really SEE. I’ve always loved it and Chris Nolan, but im not joking, i love trippy movies!!!
Michael King
2023-08-11 04:25:02 +0000 UTCAsia "I feel like I'm in a loop". Exactly. Love the reaction I was hoping ya'll would enjoy it.
Darth Brooks
2023-08-11 03:43:42 +0000 UTCHans passing out on an organ and pressing all the keys is great. This movie could have used some tighter editing. The nods to 2001 can stay but entire "love might be a higher dimension" part is dumb for a scientist to say and confused the very end. The Matt Damon stuff could have also been shorter..
Daniel Conderman
2023-08-11 03:22:42 +0000 UTCAs cooper descended into the black hole the beings of 5 dimentions saved him which was stated that the beings were just humans far into the future super advanced and placed him into a 3 dimentional place built to represent the 5 dimentions so he could understand it. So the demention of gravity and time was represented there. And since tars had the quantum data from in the black hole. Cooper transmitted that data to his daughter via the watch which allowed her to finish the tgeory of gravity allowing humanity to leave earth. Gotta love relativity

2023-08-11 03:00:20 +0000 UTCCan y’all react to the movie Pandorum? It’s a space themed movie, but a lil scary. Lol. Love y’all
Wayne Carter
2023-08-11 01:49:29 +0000 UTCWhen Cooper was in that other dimension looking at the bookcase from the other side he was saying that people in the future would have the ability to create that “time loop”for lack of a better word which allowed him to go back before he left and knock the books off of the bookcase. Remember when Cooper and Brand kept saying “they” were helping them like it was aliens who were helping and they couldn’t figure out why, I think it was people from the future when we saw Murph as an old lady. When Cooper woke up and saw the kids playing baseball, they were in a giant circular space station that was named after Murph which is why when the kid hit the ball it broke a window in a house at the top of the circle, if that makes sense. That’s what I think anyway, someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I just think it’s so sad how much time Cooper lost with his kids. Murph was only 10 years old when he left and when he saw her again she was on her death bed.

2023-08-11 01:47:48 +0000 UTCThis movie has one of the greatest soundtracks in cinema history. There are two or three of the pieces that are so epic, when you hear them on piano or organ or especially an orchestra? Personally the waterworks erupt. https://youtu.be/1YoSdfrb5GM

2023-08-11 01:10:02 +0000 UTCAt the end Cooper was on a big space station orbiting Saturn near the wormhole He initially entered. Hey please check Blood Diamond as soon as possible. My personal favorite and has an important message about Africa.

2023-08-11 00:55:43 +0000 UTCOK all done with the reaction and you understood the movie more than you thought you did. Asia did a great job paying attention. What i love about you two is that you always pick up each others slack if one doesnt get it the other one does and explains it. Great film with a great reaction thank you guys so much this is one of my favorite films and im so glad you liked it. No further explaining needed you liked it and you felt it and thats all that matters. "LOVE" its a crazy thing.
Rio Mendoza
2023-08-11 00:07:50 +0000 UTCWell dont force yourself to watch it silly. Some people just like things really simple and easy to understand and there is nothing wrong with that. Im sure they will do an action or comedy soon they have a really good track of making everyone happy. This film is amazing if you like this type of film. Its long very detail oriented and lots of thing going on and not everything is explained and shown on camera Nolan trusts his audience to figure things out so things can feel confusing. I love this film its one of my favs ever. I hope you get to watch something you really like dont force yourself i tried that with Dexter and it did not work out.
Rio Mendoza
2023-08-11 00:04:35 +0000 UTCLmao you guys are the best, BJ is spot on about a lot of stuff in Dexter while Asia was spot on during this movie.

2023-08-10 23:04:44 +0000 UTCI've told this story a bunch, but when I went to see this at the cinema the young woman sat next to me cried basically all the way through the movie.. I think it does affect people like that - I mean it's a pretty sad movie really in a bunch of ways.
Martin Nicholls
2023-08-10 22:59:05 +0000 UTCAlso…. There’s plenty of YouTube videos that break down everything in this movie lol makes it way easier to understand any of the concepts you missed or wasn’t clear on. It gave me even more of an appreciation for this movie after I fully understood. But for the most part I think you guys actually understood it far better than a lot of others I’ve seen watch this for the first time lol
jahara daughtry
2023-08-10 22:58:37 +0000 UTCI saw this movie first few days of release at Imax (by the way if you're watching a Nolan movie and your ears aren't bleeding you're doing it wrong) and I still remember the gasps when Matt Damon showed up, they kept that secret well during production. I would advise not overthinking in the inside the black hole bit, it's by far the weakest part of the movie conceptually - you just have to accept that they were provided with a way to use gravity to communicate with the past by the future human people. You also have to ignore that he would have been vaporised in milliseconds - if the gravitational forces didn't do it, all the matter swirling around the black hole would have. Not many movies produce black hole physics papers that contribute new understanding of black holes where they figured out how black holes would look - you sometimes see the results of those papers popping up in movies and games these days because they completely shifted our understanding. That's what happens when you have (at the time) future Nobel for Physics winner Kip Thorne advising. Amazing score too, I've always wondered how many people learned to play the organ after this movie was released..

2023-08-10 22:54:50 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed watching that with you two. Asia, looking beautiful. BJ, on form. Great reaction, thanks. Take care all you beautiful people out there.

2023-08-10 22:54:03 +0000 UTCI cry at certain scenes in this movie EVERY SINGLE time as if I haven’t seen this movie fifty leven times already lol Soooo glad you guys watched this and enjoyed it! This is my absolute fav. Movie. And don’t worry so many of us had to watch this movie many times in order to understand everything lol
jahara daughtry
2023-08-10 22:53:09 +0000 UTCThe best advice I could give is search on youtube for an explanation of the ending.
Jesse McAdams
2023-08-10 22:52:38 +0000 UTCJust what I needed. A good Asia and BJ reaction to unwind from what’s been a long and hectic week. You always come through at the right time guys, thanks! Can’t wait to watch.

2023-08-10 21:30:24 +0000 UTCYou guys should watch “Zero Dark Thirty” its about the mission of killing Osama Bin Laden. The person who plays the older Murph from this movie is in it. Such a great movie and so intense. Lots of great actors in it!

2023-08-10 21:18:08 +0000 UTCFinally one of my top 5 movies 🎬 if your a dad and dont get choked up when he asked, how did you know i'd come back? Because my daddy promised me, well you dont have a soul lol
Joel yates
2023-08-10 21:17:28 +0000 UTCHello, new sub.. enjoyed revisiting this story with you guys.. Hans Zimmer creating a masterpiece of a score.. the small subtle organ tone continuously playing in the background that has the rhythm of a beating heart, so good.. Nolan was able to capture time and life so well in my opinion.. I mean, the sci fi element is just the subject, but it's not the foundation.. the foundation is the relationships with one another carried over time.. just my opinion.. thanks BJ and Asia.. had fun watching with y'all..
