Hi all...
i registered so i could perhaps get some satisfying answers. just watched the film yesterday and some things bug me. i'm open to logical reasonable answers to help clarify things that, to me, are a hindrance from my enjoying the film. so here they are:
- it was already stated before that the relativity in miller's planet is 1 hour equals 7 years, but when they dropped into the planet, seemingly for only less than an hour, they ended up losing 25 years? what's wrong with this math?
- why couldnt they analyze miller's planet's condition before they decide to drop in? that feel un-scientist-like to me.
- one astronaut get wiped up by a tidal wave. still, he was wearing a helmet and the water is shallow, so could they say for certain he was dead? why didnt they try to hover above the wave and look out for him, just to be sure?
- re: miller's planet. they landed the ship on the water, so obviously they knew beforehand the water is shallow. if they have learned about this, why havent they also learned about the giant tidal waves?
- 3 astronauts on 3 nearby planets could ping earth through a wormhole, but they could not communicate with each other? that could certainly help elevate the loneliness.
- what's the point of cooper having a son in this film? obviously he only care about his daughter, and that's the bond that carry the film- a father-daughter's love. so, again, what's the point of having cooper having a son at all? it serves no purpose plot wise, instead making cooper look like biased shitty dad to his son.
- when cooper is transmitting morse codes, how does tapping the dust get the hand of the watch to move? how did cooper know he could do that when he just got there and has not yet sufficient time to learn the rules inside this blackhole? and that watch has been on the book shelf for how long, and the hand is still twitching morse codes after all this time?
- and what kind of data was he transmitting anyway? what could he learn by floating through a space library when he just got there? it would only take a few seconds of film time to let us in on some of the data.
- so, i assumed it was one of saturn's moons that became humanity's second home. was this option unavailable when nasa sent 18 astronauts through a wormhole?
- why would cooper need to steal a single ship to go to brand's planet? why couldnt he convince murph and nasa to set up a proper expedition and send a team there instead?
