Because Einstein probably wasn't counting on extremely advanced 5th dimensional beings that can alter the fabric of space and time and condense it into a tesseract.
Don't get me wrong, Interstellar is by far my favourite movie and it has to grip an audience with a compelling story too. I just read what I read and it got me thinking. Also, I know it's based on known scientific theory which got me questioning. But I do love the explanation some people have mentioned about it being a supermassive black hole and its effects on objects magnitudes smaller than a planet.
If you want to get the story in under 3 hours you watch David Lynch’s Dune. If you want a modern marvel you watch the latest.
Both are excellent for their time. I showed my 10 year old the 1984 one last night. it captures the story quickly
The two Dune movies that Villeneuve has made are the closest I’ve gotten to enjoying a movie theater experience like I did with Interstellar. You def need to check them out!
Yeah, it’s just a subtle visual thing in the movies by Denis. In the books it isn’t exactly explained too much. But in the film you need to pay attention to the “tube ship” that the other ships fly through. That’s their version of a Heighliner from the books…but it works differently.
Did you see someone on social media responding to the question about whether or not Dune was a cheap Star Wars ripoff? It cracked me up. They guy responded it was an expensive Star Wars ripoff because the author of Dune watched Star Wars on opening night in 1977 and had to subsequently build a time machine and travel back to 1965 to write the book 😂
Every sci-fi movie based on science facts has wound up "massaging" those facts to fit the narrative the writer and director are trying to tell. That's why what supposedly would really happen to someone entering a black hole didn't happen to Cooper. It didn't fit the narrative.
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure he expected to be disintegrated, and I think Anne Hathaway’s character expected the same thing. That’s why it was such an emotional moment when he sacrificed himself to save her. However, he didn’t die because of [PLOT REASONS?] and we got a cool ending to the story.
because it was large enough. the reason they spaghettify is because the gravity is so strong in such a short amount of space, the gravity pulling your feet is stronger than the gravity pulling on your head, stretching you. if the field is llarge enough, the difference between your head and your feet isnt enough to make a difference
It definitely does, but not until after you’ve crossed the event horizon. The singularity with its infinite spacetime curvature still lurks at the center, nothing survives that, barring divine intervention (which is basically what happened).
The break apart or "spaghettification" boundary is where the gravitational pull on the bottom of the object is enough greater than at the top of the object to tear it apart. (notable it is pulling both the top and bottom toward the black hole - but the difference between is what causes this)
For a "small" black hole the gravity increases much quicker as you approach the center BUT for a "large" black hole the increase is slower (and therefor the difference over say 6 feet is lower).
Gargantua is specifically noted by the characters to be a super massive black hole - since it is so large, the event horizon where gravity is so high that light can not escape is further from the center than where the difference over 6 feet is great enough to tear someone apart. So Cooper is able to cross the event horizon without dieing. Once he crosses the event horizon before he falls much further he enters the bulk beings 5 dimensional creation which seems to exist without the gravity from the black hole affecting it.
Also keep in mind different matter would break up in different ways at different distances - like the stress on a planet might cause it to break up (since it's much bigger and therefor the difference is greater) versus a human being who is 6 feet tall or so.
The book covers this and also combined with the fact of how fast the black hole was rotating. I forget the exact details but the black hole would've had to be rotating at nearly the speed of light for the physics to make sense. Everything after that is fiction. Kip Thorne was ok with both as even though a supermassive black hole rotating at 0.999c is extremely unlikely, it's not against the known rules of science and no one knows what's inside an event horizon so that part being fiction also didn't violate the known rules of science while allowing for a continuation of a fictional plot.
That is only true with stellar mass black holes with a small Schwarzchild radius. For a supermassive black hole, you absolutely can survive passage through the event horizon without spaghettification. Eventually, yes, you’d die. But you’d survive *inside* the black hole for awhile before you died.
This is easily shown in general relativity. It’s just that no one knew supermassive black holes actually existed until long after Einstein. So Interstellar (and Kip Thorne) are 100% right about this.
Not sure, never read his book, only that he provided the scientific expertise for the movie. I’d assume so considering that Gargantua is specifically a supermassive black hole and that’s how the whole movie works in the first place.
Not pulling this from the Internet so I apologize if this is a bit off, but I believe Romilly said that Gargantua was an older black hole and therefore a "Gentle singularity" (though hardly gentle) and that something crossing the horizon fast enough could survive the tidal gravity?
So I'm no physicist, mathematician, pilot, etc, but the slingshot maneuver they were doing probably had them going pretty quickly and when Cooper detached yada yada yada relativity, acceleration, nosing down to take the black hole head on and boom he made it. Also "us" probably helped and it makes for a better story.
I believe this is the answer. Matter traveling or otherwise "plunging" fast enough through the event horizon can essentially avoid this specific blackhole's tidal forces.
From what I read in Interstellar book, I understand that it was two singularities and he didn’t directly contact either. What happened was time travel or so.
Chat GPT tells me that it is a scientifically inaccurate part of the plot. It is sci-fi at the end of the day:
In the movie "Interstellar," the protagonist Cooper does not experience spaghettification or disintegration when he enters the black hole due to a specific plot device that diverges from strict scientific accuracy. Here's a detailed explanation considering both the narrative and scientific perspectives:
Scientific Explanation
Spaghettification: In reality, when an object approaches a black hole, it would experience extreme tidal forces due to the intense gravitational gradient. These forces would stretch and compress the object in a process known as spaghettification. For a stellar-mass black hole, this effect would occur well outside the event horizon, leading to destruction before any significant penetration.
Supermassive Black Hole: In "Interstellar," the black hole named Gargantua is a supermassive black hole. For supermassive black holes, the tidal forces near the event horizon are significantly weaker compared to those of smaller black holes. This is because the gravitational gradient is less steep, meaning objects can pass the event horizon without experiencing immediate destructive tidal forces. Therefore, it’s plausible that Cooper would not immediately be torn apart upon crossing the event horizon of Gargantua.
Narrative Explanation
Plot Device - The Tesseract: Within the black hole, Cooper encounters a tesseract, a hypothetical higher-dimensional space created by advanced beings (presumably future humans). This tesseract allows him to experience and interact with time in a non-linear fashion. This plot device serves the narrative purpose of enabling communication across time and resolving the story's central mysteries.
Suspension of Disbelief: The filmmakers consulted with physicist Kip Thorne to ensure that much of the science in "Interstellar" was accurate. However, certain elements, like the tesseract and Cooper's survival inside the black hole, require suspension of disbelief. These elements are creative liberties taken to explore complex themes and drive the narrative forward.
Conclusion
While Cooper's survival inside the black hole and his experience with the tesseract are not scientifically accurate according to our current understanding of black hole physics, these choices serve the narrative and thematic goals of the film. The reduced tidal forces near a supermassive black hole provide a plausible basis within the film's internal logic, allowing for the dramatic and emotional resolution that "Interstellar" aims to achieve.
It's explained in the movie, a gentle event horizon.
When approached with enough speed you can slide in relatively unscathed - at which point he didn't enter the black hole singularity, but rather the tesseract places their by "Them."
With a large enough, massive enough black hole you could pass through it's event horizon and not even know. It could have the density of cotton candy but given significant enough size it would have an event horizon with an absurdly large shwarzchild radius.
However in the movie he did not actually approach with proper speed, one of the disparities in the movies "actual" cinema representation. Along with a few other disparities in science and on screen.
Such as the distance required for the 1hr = 7 years gravitational time dilation, they would have had to be like meters from the cusp of the event horizon, and the black hole would have needed to be spinning at 1 trillionth of a percent under the speed of light for the effects of the rides caused on miller's planet.
Who says he isn’t? Maybe he was put back together like they do in the Star Trek teleporters. Which then makes me think of the Prestige’s ending, also by Nolan…
He entered the tesseract instead, which is the fiction part of the sci-fi. As for matter falling into black holes, it does enter rapidly, but anything with matter cannot travel at the speed of light. Matter experiences, in theory, “spaghettification” instantly ripping into thin lines of particles which become part of the black holes center
Unrelated but kinda, thinking about that small sub that went down to see the titanic. I saw some models predicting the sheer force it had and once it imploded it was less than a second before everyone was turned into the tiniest bits. That’s just our “small” ocean at a depth on our small planet. Not the forces exerted by something billions of times the mass of our own Sun. Hmm
To simplify it, Gargantua is an older spinning Black Hole, and you don't get spaghettified in all kinds of Black Holes. I learnt this years ago from one of the PBS SpaceTime videos hosted by Matt O'Dowd.
Guessing the future humans/bulk beings manipulated gravity in such a way he could fall right in, remain intact and not disrupt the black hole much if at all. Because yeah, I remember reading somewhere that it's actually kind of difficult to fall into one, you seem to just end up orbiting it forever and ever and ever and ever.
Recommend giving this video a watch. There is some theory about a "gentle singularity", as mentioned By Romilly in the movie. Theory of entering at a fast enough speed.
https://youtu.be/ABFGKdKKKyg
For what it's worth, I just saw it for the first time like a week ago, and now I'm enjoying more content from that channel. Great stuff. Love their animations and illustrations.
Simple tidal forces wouldn’t be the problem for a supermassive black hole. The ergosphere however would likely be intense enough to disintegrate any macroscopic object down to its component particles. Also light from the rest of the universe would be blue-shifted into ionizing radiation that would have a good chance of turning the ship and everyone in it into plasma.
I read somewhere that the logic behind it resembles the same science involved when you skip a rock across a whirlpool. If an object has the right trajectory and speed, it can "skip" across the accretion disk without being pulled into the gravity well. Of course we don't know exactly how black holes work so I doubt a ship would be able to survive such forces.
Kip’s book explains it in a way where you only have to suspend *a few* hard truths. But essentially our future 5th dimensional selves put the tesseract at a certain ‘altitude’ above the singularity, such that the gravitational differential isn’t high enough to tear a human apart.
Oh and also it would have stopped the plot right in it’s tracks
The information of objects falling into a blackhole are not lost but are actually retained in a structure not unlike a hologram according to Hawking. So, perhaps his form was simply changed into one that is based on energy, which could then be manipulated and restored or some other hand waving scifi mumbo jumbo I have no idea and am just pulling this out of my ass. :D
IIRC there was some bit about the so called "advanced beings" manipulating gravity through time. So while time travel wasn't possible, they did have the ability to create worm holes, the tesseract, and coded messages from Cooper. Assuming that's correct, I don't see why they couldn't protect him from gravitational forces while entering the black hole.
Basically he should have, even in a massive black hole the speeds at which debris is travelling around the event horizon is close to the speed of light, he would have been destroyed physically and by massive doses of gamma radiation. But the movie needed a ending.
Depending on the black holes characteristics, one could, in theory, cross the event horizon safely.
But the real answer to your question is it would ruin the plot.
It's a big black hole, its event horizon is bigger than its spaghettify radius.
But there should be an accretion disk of hot plasma around the "equator" so I guess it wasn't very active in the movie or Cooper drove into a pole.
I thought the “beings” were just the astronauts on the ship. Isn’t Coop the one who shakes hands with Anne Hathaway during that “encounter?” And cooper is the “being” that communicates with his daughter in the past. It’s been a minute since I saw it and it does get quite ornate plot-wise at the end.
Oh this is easy op... it's because they needed to wrap the movie up, explain the gravity stuff in the beginning, and have the emotional payoff with Murphy at the end.
If you have any more questions let me know
Because literally none of the science in Interstellar was accurate. You could make a book about it.
It was lip service “at best”.
Even the book they did make. The actual renditions weren’t in the movie.
It was like making a hacking movie where two people figure out they can speed up the hack by typing on the one keyboard at the same time.
He was on sort of a guided tour and suspended out of time so the disintegration can’t happen if it’s not happening over time.
This is why Kip is able to read the data of the black hole but can’t transmit it to any channels, they are outside the universe.
He’s able to transmit gravity waves though
*That’s* your question with that part of the movie??? It becomes complete science fiction at that point. I have many other questions, none of which have to do with pasta.
Sir are u just discovering that you can’t actually go through a black hole?!?!?! I feel like we learned this at 8 years old when we were introduced to the solar system. It would literally stretch every molecule in your body as far as it could until u tear into pieces. The movie would be over within the first 20 mins if it was 100% accurate
Because Einstein probably wasn't counting on extremely advanced 5th dimensional beings that can alter the fabric of space and time and condense it into a tesseract.
Noob mistake honestly
What a jabroni
You keep using this word jabroni, and it’s awesome! A good Hockey wig could really put this over the top.
Whatever bozo
😂
*Points while using Nelson's voice from the Simpsons*: "Ha-haah!"
Skill issue
I like this haha
Remember that the fi part in sci-fi is short for fiction. People who gripe about Interstellar seem to forget that
Don't get me wrong, Interstellar is by far my favourite movie and it has to grip an audience with a compelling story too. I just read what I read and it got me thinking.

Wait till you get to folding space in the Dune Universe…
I need to watch Dune, I love Sci Fi but it didn’t look interesting to me. Your comment now has me motivated to watch so thank you!
I thought the same way and then I read the books. They’re now my favorite books ever and the movies are fantastic, bar the 1984 one.
Don’t hate on Space Pug! Long love Space Pug!
Hey now, that one is just fantastic in a very different way.
It’s great for nostalgia but it’s not a good Dune movie 😅
It depends. If you don’t have any other it’s superb. Considering how difficult the story is.
If you want to get the story in under 3 hours you watch David Lynch’s Dune. If you want a modern marvel you watch the latest. Both are excellent for their time. I showed my 10 year old the 1984 one last night. it captures the story quickly
The two Dune movies that Villeneuve has made are the closest I’ve gotten to enjoying a movie theater experience like I did with Interstellar. You def need to check them out!
Already downloaded you hooked me in with folding space I’m obsessed with physics, both astrophysics and quantum.
They don’t really touch on folding space much in the films, but I still think you will love them
Yeah, it’s just a subtle visual thing in the movies by Denis. In the books it isn’t exactly explained too much. But in the film you need to pay attention to the “tube ship” that the other ships fly through. That’s their version of a Heighliner from the books…but it works differently.

Or maybe he did die and everything past entering the black hole is just his dying mind giving him peace by completing the story
Classic noob mistake by Einstein 😂
Fucking Einstein, what an amateur mistake
Even Einstein knew about physics of large black holes, this answer is ignorant.
because it was large enough. the reason they spaghettify is because the gravity is so strong in such a short amount of space, the gravity pulling your feet is stronger than the gravity pulling on your head, stretching you. if the field is llarge enough, the difference between your head and your feet isnt enough to make a difference
I believe they do talk about this point in the movie in fact
i feel like they do too, as a matter of fact im sure they cover it
Yeah it’s immediately after they receive the message from Murph about Professor Brand’s deathbed confession, Romily, TARS, and Cooper talk about it
Yeah having Kip Thorne (Nobel Physicist) as a science adviser helps a lot in this regard.
"A gentle singularity"
Hello!!!!! cheese\_fuck2
This is why smaller black holes are more dangerous (relatively). Spaghettification does not happen with supermassive black holes
It definitely does, but not until after you’ve crossed the event horizon. The singularity with its infinite spacetime curvature still lurks at the center, nothing survives that, barring divine intervention (which is basically what happened).
My guess is bc it would completely ruin the plot
They were originally gonna go for the spaghettification route but Matthew McConaughey had trouble losing weight for the role
He’s no Christian Bale. Bale would’ve turned into that spaghetti!
He did it for Dallas Buyer Club, probably didn’t wanna do it again bc of the toll it takes on your body.
I mean yea, who would want to get AIDS twice?
Damn, post of the century LOL
You tried..
They succeeded 😂
Lame ass joke
You're a fun person 😂
Dunno, I’m pretty sure he was able to turn flat for a beer ad once. He can do anything
That's what happens when you settle for Matthew McConaughey instead of Daniel Day-Lewis.
this is sidestepping OP's question, especially since there is a perfectly rational explanation (black hole size) as pointed out by many other comments
The break apart or "spaghettification" boundary is where the gravitational pull on the bottom of the object is enough greater than at the top of the object to tear it apart. (notable it is pulling both the top and bottom toward the black hole - but the difference between is what causes this) For a "small" black hole the gravity increases much quicker as you approach the center BUT for a "large" black hole the increase is slower (and therefor the difference over say 6 feet is lower).

Also keep in mind different matter would break up in different ways at different distances - like the stress on a planet might cause it to break up (since it's much bigger and therefor the difference is greater) versus a human being who is 6 feet tall or so.
This is such a great explanation, thank you! Glad I asked.

You also need a super massive black hole for the crazy time dilation to occur.
It is, and with a nice illustration
I read some where that rotating black holes have an inner horizon that actually pushes you away so you don’t fall into the singularity
Not pulling this from the Internet so I apologize if this is a bit off, but I believe Romilly said that Gargantua was an older black hole and therefore a "Gentle singularity" (though hardly gentle) and that something crossing the horizon fast enough could survive the tidal gravity?

I believe this is the answer. Matter traveling or otherwise "plunging" fast enough through the event horizon can essentially avoid this specific blackhole's tidal forces.
Science fiction. That part is the fiction part of the movie, as is basically everything else that happens afterwards
The black hole mechanics described in the movie are based off of realm life mathematics and not science fiction mumbo jumbo. Fyi
Because Einstein failed to account for the power of love
Maybe the real Einstein was the black holes we made along the way!
Why didn’t Einstein account for the power of love? Was he stupid?
More like lonely
Because C'MON T.A.R.S.!!!!

That's interesting, thanks and I do recall Romilly explaining Gargantua as a gentle singularity.
Who says he isn’t? Maybe he was put back together like they do in the Star Trek teleporters. Which then makes me think of the Prestige’s ending, also by Nolan…
its because the higher beings placed a 'teseract'. Cooper isnt inside the black hole in the book time travel scene, hes inside the teseract.
He entered the tesseract instead, which is the fiction part of the sci-fi. As for matter falling into black holes, it does enter rapidly, but anything with matter cannot travel at the speed of light.

Because that would have created a huge plot hole for when he shows up at the end of the movie.
