    I know its possibly a science thing, but it bugs me that the black hole looks like Saturn. Maybe thats how its technically supposed to look from all their data or whatever, but I just think some things are ok to change for the sake of a movie.

    When I think of black hole, I just dont envision it having this bright glowing circle around it (what is that?), or another circle on a different plane (what is that?). Just didnt look menacing at all due to the design.

    The other thing I read about black holes is that as you pass the event horizon, it would stretch every molecule in you and tear you apart. So they changed some of the things for the sake of the movie, but not others. Dont get that. I would have preferred it to be a black hole with the lensing effects around it, with no glowing elements.

    • I think blackholes still radiate some energy. what ive read, it has layer of particles that fuse together and create a radiance or radiation that escapes.yurimon
    • but i think it was just symbolic for the movie.yurimon
    • it's not symbolic, it's based on math that they had to figure out simply just to visualize it. Covered in that Wired article and video very thoroughly.monospaced
    • its also occult symbolic.yurimon
