Interstellar (2014) | Marine Reacts | This One Blew His Mind 

Fun fact, on Millers planet you can hear a ticking in the background. Each tick happens every 1.25 seconds, which is equivalent to one full day passing on earth

Hello, astrophysicist here (I think you meant that instead of astronaut?). I just stumbled on this video, and I wanted to thank you for your great reaction! As far as explaining what exactly is happening during the black hole scene, the truth is that when Cooper enters the black hole the movie transcends science and enters sci-fi, so it's more or less purely speculation. As others have stated, Kip Thorne (who is a Nobel Laureate theoretical physicist/astrophysicist) collaborated with the production team and wrote an entire book on the physics presented in the movie! Okay, into the nitty gritty: ---Entering the black hole--- In reality, Gargantuan is so small, that you would likely be shredded before reaching the event horizon. The movie adopts the notion that "if you enter the event horizon moving fast enough" you'd be fine, but truly the event horizon in not physical barrier in the real world, but rather an information barrier. What I mean to say is that when you pass the event horizon to an outside observer you would just get touch closer to the "singularity" if it exists before being shredded by the strength of gravity. Imagine, if a black hole is so strong that it it's gravity causes the material around it in its accretion disk to break down into the most fundamental particles while orbiting at near light speed, then likely Cooper who is made of weak molecular bonds would not survive the journey in one piece, but rather 10^25 pieces :P. There is however a special case of passing the event horizon of a rotating supermassive black hole like the one in m87 galaxy that is roughly 4 Billion times the mass of the sun and the size of our solar system. In this case, you could easily pass the event horizon as the "tidal forces" (caused by a differential in gravity on your body) would be weak enough for you to pass through unharmed, but again the event horizon is not like a thin shelled wall that you can peer inside. Black holes likely retain their blackness when you enter, and the physics that made them black on the outside only become more extreme and non-trivial on the inside. TLDR, the scene inside the black hole is pretty cool, but very sci-fi, and likely not possible. ---Inside the black hole--- As far as the scene with Cooper and Tars talking about dimensions inside the black hole, this is all I really understood. I guess Tars was saying something like there are 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time, so Cooper seeing the same exact room in space over and over at different times is some sort of projection of the 5th dimension into 3D space, which can be seen as an almost infinite amount of scenes in the same room. I don't really understand this, but to me it almost just looked like 4D -> 3D. Just all moments in time and space shown as moments in 3D space, so it's just 4 dimensions into 3, and no 5D hocus pocus, but who am I to judge :). How did Cooper move the clock with "gravity" though he was just moving his arm and touching a string like line in space? I have no idea. I guess the idea is that this is some alternate dimension inside a black whole were future humans/creatures created a place to communicate backward in time through gravity, and they don't know how to send the correct information, only Cooper can because Cooper loves murph so they have a bond that transcends time and space? Again this doesn't make much sense to me, because If they could just set this whole thing up for Cooper to go in and give the quantum information, it seems like they could have just given the quantum information to the present day humans in the first place, since this was their plan? I'm kind just along for the ride here :). ---The cylindrical space station at the end of the movie--- This is actually totally possible, if you have a large enough diameter cylindrical space station (needs to be large so the corialis force doesn't knock you over) built with strong enough material, you can just rotate it and generate artificial gravity. And you can point it at the Sun to get energy, however at the distance of Saturn the Sun definitely would not be nearly that bright. In fact the energy you receive from the Sun decreases with the square of the distance you are away from it. Saturn is 10x as far from the Sun so you would expect the Sun to be 100x less Bright. The energy you received on a 100% efficient solar panel a 1meterx1meter would be approximately 13.8 watts, meaning it would be roughly 3x less energy then you would need to power your weak 40 watt light bulb in your desk lamp (leds are much more efficient, but I'm just trying to make a basic point about how weak the Sun would be at this distance). A couple good points/questions you mentioned that I concur on: - Why didn't they just go to Edmunds first, and not waste time near the black hole? - Why would you try to live on a planet that has an absurd amount of time dilation near a black hole? Seems like a pain - Why did no one go to check on Cooper or Bran? Like maybe just send a party to edmunds planet? Maybe they did, but the time dilation just made it so that Cooper and Bran arrive after the search parties, since they were so close to the black hole. Lastly, I would love it if you reacted to the extended edition of the original lord of the rings trilogy! It would likely double subscriber count as well, since I and many others on yt enjoy watching people react to LOTR. It would like be a solid 6 videos for you, since you would likely need to cut each reaction in half as many other reactors tend to do. My apologies for the long winded response. let me know if you have any rather specific questions you'd like answered, as I was pretty vague here to just provide context to the movie. Cheers!

The scene of Cooper going through the 23 years worth of messages still gets me every. single. time. The scene is so powerful, and Matthew McConaghey’s emotions are felt through the screen every time. Terrific film that blew me away when I first saw it in theaters, and still blows me away to this day.

Hey man, don't be embarrassed. This film makes me cry every time. Both of Murphy's video-calls and when Cooper is calling her name in the tesseract at the end. You have to be a psychopath for it not to hit you

Nice, Matt Damon got saved after being stranded on Mars only to be stranded again on another planet 🤣

Fun fact the black hole in this movie was the most realistic render of a black hole ever at the time. A few real scientific papers were written about how the simulation shows the bending and distortion of light.

I just watch this movie for the first time today, I cried three times. 10/10. Top 10 on my list.

As an astronaut: The accepted truth about a black hole is that its gravitational grip is so powerful that not even light can escape-which is how it got its name. But even physics may have loopholes, and one of them is something known as Hawking radiation, discovered by, well, guess who. When a particle falls into a black hole, the fact that it’s falling creates another form of negative energy. But nature hates when its books are unbalanced-a negative without a corresponding positive is like a debit without a credit. So the black hole emits a particle to keep everything revenue- neutral. Zillions of those particles create a form of outflowing energy-and energy can be encoded to carry information, which is how all forms of wireless communication work. I hope i could help somehow, now i have to go back to work. "Good evening ! Our soup of the day is..."

I probably watched this movie 4 or 5 times by now just by sharing it with my friends, it is an incredible movie and I'm so happy you've reacted to this. Glad you guys have this channel.

Movie had a scientist in team, so movie is not, but pretty damn close to what would happen in reality. But scientist said that he can help with everything before event horizon, but nothing after, because science doesn’t know itself about what exactly happens inside black hole. So that part, in contrast of everything else, is completely made up

The Miller's planet scene followed by the 23 years scene is a remarkable 15 minutes of cinema. You get slapped in the face and left with your jaw on the floor by the highly intense, imposing wave only to then get punched in the gut by Cooper finding out how much of his life back home he has missed. No respite in between. When I first watched it I had to stop the film for 20 minutes to get myself composed enough to continue watching. It's the most impactful movie I've seen. Nice reaction.

"Do you see your children?" Even as someone without kids this line was so impactful...

This movie is so so beautiful. It gives me a unknown feeling. Amazing movie, never fails to make me shed a tear 💯

Fun fact it's been 1 hour and few minutes in millers planet since this movie came back

I'm a Kansan, our state motto is "Ad Astra per Aspera" meaning "To the stars, through difficulty". We have one of the coolest air and space museums in the nation, the Kansas Cosmosphere. I live and breathe aviation and space travel. I'll be DAMNED if some nobody tells me we never went there. That's just tarnishing the incredible legacy of brave American heroes, and I won't have it.

They basics as I understood it were that the professor couldn't solve his equation because it required, as they said, more data that is only available inside the event horizon of a black hole. The only reason his daughter was able to save humanity was because Cooper went inside the event horizon and transmitted through time the data she'd need to solve the equation. How'd he travel through time? Future descendants of humanity that figured out time went back and enabled him to do so. So it's a paradox in that the only reason they were able to survive is that somehow they already did survive and gave their ancestors the information necessary to do so.

46:09 “Is he in hell...” I laughed so hard 😭

I always interpreted the backstory not as a war that brought us all down but society breaking down and turning local due to climate change. This goes with the dustbowl and blight themes. You can easily imagine a few decades of scattered skirmishes and migration wars eventually devolving into local communities just supporting their own farmers with less and less central authority or money for maintaining militaries or space programs. As command and control structures break down that would lead to the autonomous patrol drones roaming randomly without orders, like the one he hacked into and caught. And sure there might be other surviving space programs but it's plausible that only one of them had the right knowledge and motivation and equipment in place to mount a mission like this. The others might be focused on agricultural satellites or whatever, or defunded by short sighted governments. I also imagine the name Dr. Mann was a tribute to climate scientist Michael Mann, and the Robot Kip was a tribute to the movie's nobel laureate science advisor Kip Thorne.

I love watching all these reaction videos to interstellar. Generally, everyone goes in expecting this full on action, trope laden sci-fi and instead get hit full force with this scientifically intelligent film that repeatedly shatters our core with its emotional magnitude. 10/10 Edit: Also, wibbly wobbly, timey wimey? Instant subscribe 🙌.

What's really scary about the scene with the teachers, is that's already happening today with multiple subjects. The altering of history and the curriculum to change the way kids are educated, is a terrifying concept. But it's 💯 based in reality.

For me, as a single movie, this is the best one in history.

im a professional science doctor astronaut person and have been to the center of a black hole this move is 100% accurate also MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOON

They used accurate science by hiring people for the movie. Everything is mathematically correct up until he enters the black hole. Then it goes into theory. Well and the wormhole that got them there. But that is still mathematically correct.

Hah nah, pretty much everyone in the theatre did a collective "is that fucking matt damon!?" cause he wasn't talked about at all in the leadup

This is my first time crying for an astronaut film lol 😂😂😂 THIS IS 10/10. I hope i can say 100/10. This is out of anything. I lost my word. Chef kiss!

Though you edited them all out all of the old people talking about the dust (except the first one) are actually clips from Ken Burns' excellent documentary on the great dust bowl so they are not actors but they actually lived through what they are talking about.

I really like your reaction. It is genuine and you clearly are enjoying what you are watching. You just earned an instant subscriber

When I watched this movie I went back to the first line of the film and it was insane foreshadowing when he was having a “nightmare” and murph came in his room and said “ I thought you were my ghost”

The emotion that Matt M (no chance I can spell that last name) shows is a master class in acting. I believed every second he was on screen. It’s my favorite movie of all time. Kip Thorne (physicist) helping with the black hole, worm hole, 5th dimensional view of time. #1 movie for me.

I like your personality a lot and I really enjoyed your review. Keep it up man!

Yeah, astronauts are so impressive because they have to be mathematicians, scientists, doctors, engineers, mechanics, pilots etc. I will never get over how impressive this movie is. It’s one of my favs of all time. It’s sci-fi but realistic because the filmmakers did actual deep research.

"Time. It can ben it can stretch but it cant run backwards it just cant" (shakes her hand in the past from the future) such an amazing film

Being the son of a ranger the marines being robots was kind of funny 🤣. Not gonna lie

You cut the best part of the interaction between Murph and Coop, when she said, "Because my dad promised me..."

Oh man, I'm sure your other colleagues at the Chicago Reacts are amazing, but I'm sure I'm not alone when saying we need more of this!!! Amazing charisma ❤ I was hooked the first few seconds of this reaction. Subscribed and subscribing to the other channels just to follow your content

“You told me to keep driving” Straight outta the 03 boot hand book

As someone who recently moved into an apartment by myself for the first time, thanks for the advice about getting some bolt cutters to add to my toolbox.

I keep dying when they’re on the water planet you kept saying “I’m sorry but no, we’ll build schools in your honor. “ I was with you believe me, that time risk wasn’t worth it.

"It says Stay dad" I'm still crying!

I love the sense of wonder that this movie evokes. Human connection is a powerful thing, and while its selfish and fearful side can taint our perception of scientific discovery, our love and care for others, as well as our innate sense of wonder, is what drives scientific discoveries and advancements in the first place. The same thing goes for filmmaking. This movie achieved some technical mastery, but at its heart, it is clearly a labour of love. Without a sense of wonder about science, humanity, and the process of filmmaking, this movie would never have been made. Likewise, as an audience, we would not feel the tension, and buy into the story, if we were not emotionally invested in Cooper as a character, and with his connection to his daughter. Love this film and love Christopher Nolan! And hey, loved this reaction, too!!

“How far back did humanity regress where that’s the New York Yankees?” 😂

49:40 It was probably descendants of those embryos who built the wormhole 🤯

Such an amazing and refreshing real reaction to this movie honestly, teared up at the same points, great to see a human reaction!

I really did think they discounted Brand's reasoning when she told them that they should go to Edmond's planet over Mann's. First, they should have never gone to Miller's planet. The proximity to Gargantua and its gravity should have made them realize that giant waves were a reality. Our moon is super far away and it still has gravitational pull on our waters with such a smaller gravity. Her logic that Gargantua would not have given the best place for life on Mann's planet were accurate.

Kip Thorne was the science advisor for this movie - then he went off and for his next trick won the Nobel Prize for Physics. The guys who did the VFX for some of this went off and wrote papers about black holes and modelling them. I recommend to everybody at every opportunity, if you live near an Imax cinema they regularly have showings of this movie - keep an eye out for it and go see it in 70mm; it's quite the experience. Ditto Tenet - I was lucky enough to see it at opening night pretty close to Tom Cruise here in London (he effectively has lived in the UK last few years because of all the movies he's shooting here) at my favourite cinema, and that's also one hell of an experience you simply can't replicate on even a large normal cinema screen.

Thank you for your service!! Nice reaction by the way. You got a new sub!!

I wasn't in the service myself but I worked around a lot of marines and vets.. I LOVE the humor setting scene. They nailed the humor for TARS and he 100% would fit in with his unit 😅

Kit, this is one of the best reactions I have seen for this movie. As you said, you can be a cantankerous curmudgeon and when that guy suddenly turned wide eyed like a kid full of awe, wonder, and even some justified salty liquid excretions from your eyes, it was a beautiful thing. Since the astrophysicist knocked the science out of the park I will leave it alone, but you did mention some of the documentaries shown in the movie reminded you of a Ken Burns documentary... funny you should say that. They actually used some Ken Burns' "The Dust Bowl" scenes as well as some other stylistic inspiration for some other scenes about the farmers, famine, and dust. It's an amazing documentary, I highly recommend it. Nice pick up. If you liked this movie, and you said you did, I think the movies "Tenet" and "Dunkirk" which are also directed by Nolan, "Arival" and "Dune" directed by Villeneuve, and "Annihilation" directed by Garland are all very much in Chicago Reacts' wheelhouse. All except for Dunkirk (which is based off of real historical events) are amazing sci-fi's at least based somewhat on reality or are a reboot of an amazing book sci-fi franchise. The show "The Expanse" is also an amazingly written sci-fi show based on real science and physics. You will not be disappointed.

You earned yourself a subscriber with your commentary. There's good breakdown's of the physics / theory's in the blackhole on Reddit etc, can't pretend to understand most of it but a great attempt at realising our current understanding of gravity/time and space.

I would think that finding a new home for the survival of humanity is a lot more important than 'guy needs to see his daughter'.

it is actually the actor of that 70's show and you just made me realise it haha

I had the same reaction when I saw Matt Damon...now I know I'm not alone.

No conflict, just life.

I already enjoyed your cheeky Reaction, but once you mentioned your "40k brain" I had to smile right along with you. I like your style good sir, keep it up.

I agree with and admire your passion with regards to space exploration and colonization wholeheartedly. As well as humanity's need to reignite their passion for this.

Hahaha when I saw this in theaters with friends, a few us us yelled out oh shit, MATT DAMON when he first showed up too and started laughing as well, it's all good haha!!

I adore this movie. I love your objection to putting a colony near a black hole. 🤣 This movie _still_ makes me tear up at the end. Powerful artistry, beautiful storytelling.

Mate don't worry about crying watching this movie. I did the first time and everytime since. It's a beautiful movie and an emotional journey.

Its worth another watch just because you get to notice some small details on the second round. For example, when Cooper watches the 23 years of messages, particularly the one from his daughter, when the message ends, it does a continuous cut straight to her just finishing up the recording of said message. I feel like this symbolises the flow of time syncing back up for both sides, albeit it has progressed 23 years. Another example is the dialogue between TARS and Cooper just before entering the Black Hole. TARS says "see you on the other side" and Cooper replies with "See you there Slick". It foreshadowed Cooper dropping into the Black Hole because they made this plan before hand. Another example, is Dr. Brand taking her helmet off (as you noticed) indicating the planet being habitable.

Brother, I don't know you, I don't know your channel, and I have never come across any of your videos before, but I've had a rough few weeks and something about watching this movie with you sat with me. Maybe it was just a culmination of a lot of things, but I needed a good moment. I've heard it a thousand times before, but when you said "appreciate every second," for some unknown reason it just struck me different than the previous 999 times. I can't really explain it much better than that, but just wanted you to know. Anyway, thanks 😎👍

I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this movie thanks 😁

You're the only reactor who picked up the fact that humans made the wormhole far in the future. Even though it's plainly said, most people just don't hear it.

Lmao his reaction when he saw Matt Damon was hilarious

they had to risk it for the bisquit

Thanks for the reaction and watching this movie with me (seen it about 12 times lol)..... Semper Fi.

you know its Interstellar when it's night time outside the window by the end

Probably the best Matt Damn Intestellar reaction yet lol

Bro, I fell in love with your character. You are very real and cool

that dont let me leave scene is brutal

I'm going to see this at the BFI Imax in London in April. It's getting 4 showings running up to the release of Oppenheimer in July. The Imax in London is the only place you can see this as it was meant to be seen. It sells out in minutes. So looking forward to it :)

Honestly my favorite reaction to this movie.

I watched this three times in the theatre, on the same day

God damm these ninjas cutting onions again 😢

"fancy upside down baseball"🤣

There’s something about that video message scene that really makes salty discharge come out of your eyes I don’t know how Christopher Nolan does it

great reaction and journey for this one

What a character! Subscribed. If you don't shed a single tear during this film, you're suspicious and I don't trust you! :D

25:37 - This is the perfect face of horror at this scene.

No parent should watch their own child die I cant 😭😭😭

Event Horizon, that's a big roll of the dice

Arguing with the movie over whether Marines exist... jfc dude. The crayon eating is real.

Buddy...ya took one for the team! Hahahahahahahaha

Kip Thorne was the scientific consulant on this movie. One of the leading Scientific minds of our time. Basically a genius. He won the Nobel prize a couple of years ago.

His little diatribe about SpaceX was spot on.

Masterclass movie!

Dr. Hugh Mann, played by Matt Damon. Congratulations: you fell into the trap! :-)

What's funny is after this film, Matt Damon is in The Martian and on the movie poster you see his big mug wearing a similar helmet with the headline "Bring him home". hahaha after we just saw this A-hole nearly getting them all killed!

And things were not indeed cash money in the hellscape known as The Event Horizon. -Narrator of The Documentary

Great video :)

I like this guy, need more reactions from him.

No Parent should never have to never become a Parent

Epic video good buddy... Love the break down / what the fuck is seriously happening right about now moments. +1 This is what reactions are all about. you seem genuine to me, but i have been wrong in the past.

Fun fact - TARS is Matt Damons voice...

That Upside down Baseball rant LMAO

Best movie!! Nolan and Zimmer collab🔥

if you wonder what is that when cooper woke up after lost in higher dimension is. from the data cooper send through morse code via the watch. she researched using that data and made a station that big enough to fit survuving people. the reason why its look like round inside is since its similar principle as why we aren't throwing from ground even tho earth is rotation so much fast. like rotation of that station in specific speed create artificial gravity that will keep the humans and other things into the ground inside they standing ( i can't explain more simple manner or more detailed manner since i am not genius or has that much knowledge in gravity or otger scientific things related to whay hapoening in 2nd half of the movie

God damn! That was a good reaction video!

The alien in Contact chose to take the shape of Jodie Foster's father so she wouldn't freak out by encountering a weird alien.

Hey , i am not an astronaut but the 5th dimension thing is just imagination , cause no one is able to look into a black hole till now , other than that everything in this movie is almost as real as it can be theoretically. This movie was a masterpiece❤

I laughed when I realized it was Matt Damon too 🤣 🤠
