Scienticifically, this is fine it’s well known that time flows more slowly in the presence of a gravitational field – but the question is: is this extreme time dilation plausible on a planet like the one they land on? At one point, we are told that the gravity on this planet is 130% of that of Earth’s – and we see the actors panting, a little bit under duress because of the extra gravity. One of the big plot devices revolves around the first planet they visit, the water planet: one hour on its surface corresponds to seven years on earth. When you have this strong concentration of mass, you have distortion of distant objects - this is akin to what you would imagine this might look like. The crew discover a kind of sphere, with a distorted pattern of light, which is plausible. In terms of its visual representation, the wormhole has been thought through. ![]() Photograph: Legendary Pictures/Allstar Wormhole ![]() ![]() Jessica Chastain sorts out the theory in Interstellar. If you want to stop there, it would take much longer because you have to brake to get into orbit. The New Horizons spaceship did get there in two years and four months, but that’s because it was on its way to Pluto and did not slow down at Saturn. If you use the most fuel-efficient way of getting there, it would take about 4.7 years, and would only work in certain time windows when the planets are aligned correctly. The little retro rockets we see in the film are much too small.Īdded to which, two years for a journey to Saturn seems on the short side to me. It’s as simple as that – otherwise you will just miss the planet and fly past. It becomes obvious when they reach Saturn: how do they slow down? You need a big rocket in the front of your spacecraft, the same size as the one you used to accelerate up to speed to begin with. You can’t imagine what sort of propulsion Endurance is using. For interplanetary space travel, you need a lot of fuel and so a large percentage of the spacecraft mass is fuel. The one thing I would criticise: you don’t see any fuel tanks. The position of its windows in relation to the rotation of light patterns that was really well done. The idea of it spinning around to generate gravity for the long journey, that’s fine.
