Everything Wrong With Interstellar, Featuring Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

in a nearly three hour movie 58 seconds of logos movie rips off Band of Brothers right out of the gate I am too big a Band of Brothers fan I just let that slide oh man is it corn I'm so pumped if that's filled upon there's a music swelling to match my own excitement for corn I guess I can't describe it it was just constant I guess maybe we could figure that out just by looking at the movie but thanks documentary be nice to that miss Hanley she's single well is that supposed to me repopulating the earth start pulling your weight okay first of all he has two kids already asshole second of all widowed grandpa suggests son should ignore looks and attraction as basic human sexual instincts and just make babies with the nearest teacher he can find John Lithgow is playing basically another version of his Rise of the Planet of the Apes character an ineffective grandfather only here to show us how fast time moves and how futile it all is why did you mom me after something that's bad you mean Murphy's Law well that's only one use of word why didn't he have this conversation with her at a younger age also considering how Cooper will start driving this truck with the flat tire like it never happened I have a terrible feeling this flat tire scene was created just so that Murph could get a lesson about why she's named Murph what about the flat tire indeed Jesus that truck caught up to that drone so fast it could only be due to the power of editing unless you're telling me this particular drone wants to be followed truck with supposedly flat tire now drives like it never happened anyone else with me on this mysteries of interstellar how a pickup truck can drive with a flat tire among densely planted corn stalks taller than it yep I thought so dad k2 insists on yelling dad instead of explicit instructions nearly Fellman Louisa's his entire family long after the emergency stop to avoid following a drone off a cliff into a lake the drone hopefully flies by again almost as though it had not recently just been in front of them okay so two to two nine one five and wait a minute the one that says five actually has six I'm afraid this girl isn't gifted after all it's an old federal textbook we've replaced them with the corrected versions corrected explaining how the Apollo missions were faked to bankrupt the Soviet Union the idiocracy starts here and despite how ridiculous this woman sounds it's not that far from the truth what does dr. Tyson have to say about this mysteries of interstellar in this unreal future they teach unscientific things in science class oh wait that is real so take opposite and she didn't want to sit in there listening to this instead of me which been a good thing damn it's Matthew McConaughey's still playing Russ Cole in this movie does every line reading have to sound like his larynx is being dragged on the floor of a gravel library you should come take a look at this cliche Thank You butcher sure that dogs here for shadow reading I'm pretty sure everyone involved with the operations of the New York Yankees would throw themselves off a bridge before they allowed their franchise to be a touring sports team like the Harlem Globetrotters I also love how this society is dealing with dead crops crashing drones blight and general desperation but there's still an organized baseball league priorities for the win despite all the cracks in the barriers on all these windows entire family feels safe enough to near to remove masks and goggle seems like it this kind of storm or possible one would never leave their windows open period luckily during a period where massive dust storms are common Murph forgot to close her window while they were out watching a baseball game and can see proof of the weird ghost anomaly it's right about here where you start worrying this movie is science too huh grandpa will be home in a while radio without any verification that you heard this Cooper leaves and drives off so that Murph can get away with going on the trip yourself useful I didn't want you to come on this trip because I didn't know what I'd find out here but sure tagged along now that you tricked me so brilliantly I don't possibly have time to drive you back home this is something I need to do right now despite the possible danger 23 minutes in and movie called interstellar has yet to give me even a tiny little bit of space mmm restricted territory and a post-apocalyptic life written world F I'm entitled futuristic security guards will be made from the obelisks of 2001 also no wonder we didn't see this thing in action it would have been one of the most ridiculous things ever to see one-sixth of a Rubik's Cube phasing and threatening people I don't turn you into a vacuum cleaner no you won't look you definitely didn't hear that because even I barely heard that hello Cooper Fisher Brian I mean Alfred I mean holy this movie already showed me John Lithgow and now tosses Michael Caine at me like I'm gonna have any way to tell them apart moving forward that's your Brian can I ask you why you look like Ridley Scott from an anomaly what sort of anomaly Oh without warning sudden wes Bentley in fact this whole scene is like that sudden Michael Caine sudden William Devane and sudden wes Bentley who totally hooks up the rhyme scheme we're not meant to save the world we're meant to leave it mysteries of interstellar can't imagine a future where escaping earth via wormhole is a better plan than just fixing earth you're the best pilot we are the head and IOB is jealous how amazing this guy's piloting ability is we need a pilot well and thank goodness this awesome pilot just happened upon your facility right before the big mission also how is NASA continued operating blue radar for enough years to build all this but not long enough to recruit and train their new modern pilots how are those not a naturally occurring phenomena yeah because after all you need a wormhole making machine in order for there to be wormholes duh they've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach but why so far if this group of Samaritans created a wormhole for us to use why did they put it near Saturn also doesn't such a wormhole possibly affect the gravity of the region did these five dimensional beings put some sort of anti screws things up device on the wormhole and one system shows promise and one that's a bit of a long shot in one system with three potential worlds well doctor one of you could have just led with that then Cooper wouldn't be asking questions now would he 3.5 minutes of goodbye Daughtery so weak after all this time on the ground and being a farmer he's just ready to go back into space immediately we need to get him into shape for that everybody good plenty of slaves for my robot colony I gave him a humor setting so he'd fit in better with his unit Jesus that's one advanced humor setting where a robot can sarcastically threaten the entire crew with his witticisms but who actually needs the robot to fit in anyway who's up in space thinking damn if only this robot could be sarcastic then I trust it what's your humor setting tars that's 100% and on down to 75 please how's the computer calculate the amount of humor it could express in any given instant its arms what's your honesty parameter ninety percent ninety percent again though how does a computer decide when to use the ten percent total liar portion of this parameter in interstellar the producers knew exactly how why and when you de Chivo G in space damn this scene - so 2001 I'm surprised there isn't text on screen stating space just outside Earth Omaha just a classic film 2001 I admit watching them flip switches and doing important space duties can't be fascinating it's just a damn let's move yes nearly three hours and it took 45 minutes to even get to space can we just all agree that they're good astronauts who will do all the technical things that astronauts do and get moving already dr. brand and Edmunds they close after asking one question about dr. Edmunds earlier with virtually no tells Cooper has enough Sherlock Holmes in him to be able to figure out that Edmunds and brand are lovers I asked Murph to say hi but she's as stubborn as a roll man Jesus this girl holds a bigger grunge than that girl in that movie I can't think of the title right now but it was about this ghost that killed people with the grudge a wormhole and space like this here a genius NASA astronaut will explain the theory of wormholes to another genius NASA astronaut planet is much closer to Gargantua than we thought gargantia it's what we're calling them the black hole this seems like total madness isn't this madness in interstellar they explore a planet near a black hole personally I'd stay as far the hell away from black holes as I can yep dr. Tyson's with us on this Landing there takes us dangerously close and the black hole that big has a huge gravitational pull mysteries of interstellar stars vastly outnumber black holes why is the best earth-like planet one that orbits a black hole gravity on that planet will slow our clock compared to Earth's drastically gravity slows time I'm sorry what kind of drugs did you smoke when you made this movie in interstellar and in the real universe strong gravitational field measurably slow passage of time relative to others okay we'll remove the sin but do we have to be happy about it every hour we spend on that planet will be seven years back on earth that's relativity folks casual black hole relativity will seems just casual enough to be super wrong in interstellar experienced Einstein relativity of time as no other feature film has shown Welsh okay literal heart of darkness payment just because dictionaries are recognizing the figurative definition of literal doesn't mean I am less I'm not always well man how can you tell that from here oh I guess because this planet is revolving around some sort of black hole it must have tidal waves the size of the Burj Kalifa huh in interstellar you observe great tidal waves from great tidal forces of magnitude that orbiting a black hole might create dam foiled again your ass back to the Ranger now someone outside the ship makes a decision that could prevent them from getting back on the ship in time cliche I still think this is a cumbersome invention how does this think generate the kind of force it needs to move in this manner I don't see anything that can propel this machine's feet to walk much less in water this is the slowest wave ever it's almost like it knows the protagonists need extra time Cooper wait a goddamn minute I'm sure you just said Hayes Ava's odd 45 to an hour now I'm not sure if you guys we're talking about the next wave or how long until the ship could fly but regardless four minutes of dialogue with Anne Hathaway doesn't explain this 45 to an hour in anyway oh yeah what's Bentley's character I barely cared about dad I'll make a note of that for future Saro 23 years 4 months 8 days wait so all that stuff we saw on the ocean planet took over 3 hours out of this 20 minute adventure last three goddamn hours you've got here's a message is stored I get that we like to make fun of the crying in the scene but damn imagine watching your young children grow up over a handful of Skype chats but one way well you can't say anything so the shot of McConaughey catching up after 23 years it's just downright awesome and heartbreaking so we'll knock us an offer that we must confront the reality of interstellar travel roll credits we love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space movie drops the power of love bomb on us apparently the universe is an actor able to operate only once someone tells it it's motivation sure the universe says anything is possible if you're in love here are the secrets to time travel also strong female character with amazing scientific background to science Edmunds planet is the best because love and who are you to say she's wrong she'll work Nelson's farm I'll make it up what happened in Nelson Nelson died walked how does running into basically what amounts to a wall of ice not do anything to your spacecraft and this was a planet candidate dr. Tyson mysteries of interstellar gotta tell you Mars right next door looks way safer than those new planets they traveled - just what I was thinking damn movie expect me to believe three-legged metal robot is somehow going to climb this I see a steep hill that's another thing if these machines like Tarzan case are so adept at walking around observing collecting data everything that humans do why did they even send humans to do this job yeah yeah they explain it later machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death but that's total nonsense so here's a guy named doctor man and all that that implies - Matt's on screen and they don't even make out what a ripoff you literally raised me from the dead Lazarus hey did you guys hear that something just beat me over the head I can't figure out what it was but I am woozy but with oxygen and limited supply kit there really did most the legwork Kip what kind of a stupid name is that somebody's kid got their name in the movie I bet in interstellar there's a robot named Kip one of the executive producers a physicist is named Kip I'm just saying oh damn I took that back dr. brand I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today so they're letting her receive this message right now in front of everybody I thought they usually had a time for that when they went back to the ship but I get the sneaking suspicion she's allowed to hear her message because it has some sort of plot related information it is more dramatic that way if a black hole is an oyster then the singularity's the Pearl inside oh the equation couldn't reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics you need more like more dialogue so that you don't sound like a big bastard gargantuan is an older spinning black hole it's what we call that a gentle singularity gentle they're hardly gentle the tidal gravity is so quick that this is why many were torn watching this movie works hard to get some scientific basis for the actions taking place and even painstakingly tries to make it simpler for the common folk to understand but the problem is you're probably not smart enough to follow along in every instance you just have to kind of hang on it take some leaps to understand a lot of this stuff I mean points for trying to be scientific and smart but damn this is hard to follow sometimes in interstellar if you don't understand the physics try Kip Thorne's highly readable book the science of interstellar you know we have a model here that the books don't matter but there were we to argue with Neil deGrasse Tyson I've already told him what to look for but how do you know what to look for by your own admission everything beyond the horizon is a complete mystery could very well not even fit our own standards of measurable data but you know what to tell the machine to look for in a black hole you know why we couldn't just send machines on these missions don't you Cooper I'm guessing someone on the set Bremen we ask the same question they call that person an idiot fired him or her and blacklisted them but the question loomed over the set for three days before the writers said dammit they're right let's write some bolt to explain this a person is still blacklisted though also you can program a world-class sense of humor into these things but not the fear of death for some reason the movie now decides to cut back and forth between Matt versus Matt and Casey versus Topher I guess so the movie can have some sort of Magnolia moment where all that goes down in this family at once no matter where they aren't I'm its face am I sitting parallels yeah I'm sitting parallels I guess Matt Damon turns out to be evil and I'm okay with that yeah no I'm totally okay with that although if you want your sudden obvious bad guy to be less obvious maybe don't cast an a-lister like this maybe make it like Liev Schreiber or something Casey Affleck is a dick to his sister's really smart maybe boyfriend in interstellar on another planet around another star in another part of the galaxy two guys get into a fistfight mysteries of interstellar if you can crack your space helmet yet keep fighting the planets air can't be all that bad for you if fairly and are you say how come an Hathaway and the other dude can't hear these comms how does it take this long for these two to fly to the spot that man and Cooper walk to a little bit ago doesn't know the endurance docking procedure the autopilot does not sense tours disabled it but you trust setting tars lower than yours apparently haha funny joke for sure but earlier tars said this you try to remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say so how does this robot act alone when it comes to disabling auto pilots and not telling anybody about it why didn't he tell Cooper I don't trust man because XY and Z instead of keeping it to himself so they can disable auto docking but they can't disable his ability to video game dock you open the hatch the airlock could depressurize something dr. Mann would know where he the super scientist astronaut this movie is made him out to be but whatever heroes gotta win yo whatever if he blows here like nothing good thanks for a helpful and precise answer wheel and my transmission to the on-board computer and have it rebroadcast as emergency PA Jesus why didn't you think of that before seems like an obvious thought if he can't communicate with someone do not the inner hatch and the message continues to be don't open the inner hatch instead of you're going to die if you open the hatch like this here's why I repeat do not rhyme so man turns the radio back on and starts talking to dr. Brandt not letting her get a word in edgewise however she can still use the emergency PA to transport the important information uninterrupted right what do you do doc and I have no time to tell you how that's possible woman that admit though matching the spin of the endurance in order to dock it is a pretty amazing scene take a ramier dr. Tyson in interstellar they reprise the matched rotation docking maneuver from 2001 a Space Odyssey but they spent 100 times faster in interstellar experience Einstein's curvature of space as no other feature film has shown once we've gathered enough speed around Gargantua we use Lander 1 and Ranger 2 is rocket boosters to push us out of the black holes of gravity excuse me you're gonna what the want to push you out of the what's what now I didn't hear what you said but it sounds impossible so what are you doing hero sacrifices himself to save the world cliche even if the world is only one person in his current reality having trouble understanding the dialogue that's an intentional choice by the director to crank up the soundtrack and confuse you but still would be kind of nice to hear even 20% more dialogue than we can hear because this is kind of like a space NASCAR funeral dirge here look I realize we don't truly know what happens to a human in a spaceship that enters a black hole but isn't it reasonable with the scientific knowledge we have today to assume that this guy is vapor according to this movie it's theoretically possible to fly into a black hole eject and then end up inside your daughter's childhood bookshelf now my question is if he could punch the books out of the bookcase why can't he do other things later we see him manipulate a watch inside her room so dr. Tyson mysteries of interstellar if you can poke through a tesseract in touch books why not just write a note and pass that through yeah why not we don't have time for this come on here's another point in the movie where you realize a whole bunch of fat could have been cut from the script the rift between Murph and Tom happens pretty much out of nowhere and then she has to burn the cornfield in order to get back into the house to study the bookcase it's dramatic I grant you but pretty unnecessary it was like the whole conflict was created just a dramatic weight and lots of time to a movie that didn't need it I mean a nerve Cooper is apparently unaware of the events of this movie come on Cooper apparently in the middle of some sort of three-dimensional representation of this five dimensional world tars can still communicate via radio to Cooper from bump Egypt to somewhere something's built I don't know but they constructed this three-dimensional space inside their five-dimensional reality to allow you to understand it well any work you can say that again in interstellar if you didn't understand the plot there is no published book to help you hmm still seems like a sin that's a sin right such complicated data to a child not just any cough an interstellar of the leading characters all of whom are scientists or engineers half are women just an FYI Tommy I'm gonna find a way to tell Murphy just like I found this moment how love tars love also the physical manipulation of tesseract strings let's not forget that okay wait a minute I can see how Cooper is making the second hand on this launch speak in Morse code but how is he able to reach inside the glass of the watch and how does he ensure the watch continues to deliver the message once he's done with it whoa Cooper woke up on Elysium Brad because after all I know exactly the kind of relationship you guys had and you should get married because you're both single and attractive alone strange galaxy and luckily her long-lost love is totally dead in the future while orbiting Saturn spaceship security is of zero concern bacteria healthy helps we'd like to take a moment here for a special thank you to our friend dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson for once again helping us find sins and the wins in a popular science fiction film the honor was all ours it's important to note that we're a couple of Jackass comedians and that could be fun but there are people all over YouTube entertaining while actually educating and talking about important stuff and dr. Tyson is one such individual by way of a star talk channel d like science D like space you should be subscribed to star talk they do great engaging stuff like this after I saw the movie interstellar I had a whole barrage of tweets yep commenting I'm highlighting the physics of it this sort of thing so here's one mysteries of interstellar can't imagine a future where escaping earth via a wormhole is a better plan than just fixing earth well this is what made it literally incredible for me oh really I mean I never you know as we say in comedy if you buy the premise you buy the bit I didn't buy the premise the premise I mean I know people love the interstellar I know people that saw it twice well why wait you agree that we could have blight on the crops but my issue was not that there wouldn't be boy but that why is it easier to launch a spaceship through a wormhole and go live on a moon of Saturn you can check out more of that video below or just click and subscribe right now to show dr. Tyson how much you appreciate his pitching in for one of our sins videos or you know many of us actually important contributions to society just don't subscribe no signature required well that sounds like a really good deal thank you again good sir we had a blast getting corrected and clarified by it we kind of heart you you are awesome and now for the outtakes you will come it's just that I've never seen you in here before I'm gonna smoke everybody involved in this up and I'm gonna cobble on it black holes aren't the mythic cosmic vacuum cleaners of science fiction I'm gonna find a way to tell Murphy just like I found this moment how love tars love I don't think that man can you have part of my attention you have the minimal amount the rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room including and especially your clients are intellectually or creatively capable of doing do you know how easy this is for me do you have any idea how easy this is a joke like I've been to Tokyo they sell a little girl underwear in the vending machines right on the main drag the Ginza or whatever guys in suits buying used girl panties how is that okay that's not okay Matt Damon remember the last time you took a direct flight to Pluto it was like a good 20 hour flight and all out our American Airlines served you were honey roasted peanuts now you're tired of bland snacks that don't satisfy your intergalactic hunger luckily this no longer has to be your reality eight robots can shoot amazing tasting personalized snacks right to your door everyone snacks all day every day so let your desires go interstellar and snack smart with nature box nature box has the most delicious snacks in the universe that will change the way you snack it's as simple as that from my personal favorites like chocolate banana chips and jalapeno white cheddar popcorn maker box has over 100 ridiculously delicious snacks to choose from that get delivered directly to your doorstep and there's zero chance of getting bored because they release brand-new choices every single month pager box is full of flavor but without any of the junk just find the flavorful snacks made with ingredients that you can trust even better they've got a smart snap guarantee so if there's ever anything you don't love let the helpful folks at nature box know and they'll replace it in your next box easy and satisfying so head to nature box competence now and take your snack life to the next dimension again that's nature box calm

Twelve sins! Is that a record? That sounds like a record. Also, even though I don't agree with a couple of your sins, I can tell where you're coming from with them.

[u/Lupr]

So... this is blocked in Australia.

:/

[u/ROBOT_B9]

Damn. I was waiting for this video for such a long time and getting Dr. Tyson is awesome as well.

[u/too_much_feces]

To be fair you can drive a dually with a flat tire.

[u/sto-ifics42]

Nice! I've been waiting for this one for quite a while.

Explanations for some of the sins based on The Science of Interstellar:

---

Can't imagine a future where escaping Earth via wormhole is a better plan that just fixing Earth.

It's a much better plan when Earth is about to become a duplicate of Venus. Our modern civilization wouldn't have a hope of stopping that, so there's no way Cooper's world does.

Why did they put it near Saturn?

Because history recorded it as appearing near Saturn. Causality loops tend to do stuff like that.

Doesn't such a wormhole possibly affect the gravity of the region?

A very small handful-of-km-wide region, yes. Insignificant on a planetary scale.

they explore a planet near a black hole.

A planet that is Earth-size with water, hydrocarbons, tolerable atmospheric pressure & temperature, and has a stable orbit. When the world is ending, it's prudent to check all options.

Why is the best Earth-like planet one that orbits a black hole?

The target system needs an inactive supermassive black hole for the quantum data. Gargantua's system doesn't have the most habitable planets; it's just the most habitable system that has a satisfactory black hole.

great tidal waves from great tidal forces

Actually, they're most likely not from tidal forces. Dr. Tyson has pointed out in various interviews that the waves don't behave at all like tidal waves or tidal bulges. Kip Thorne came up with an alternate explanation: FAQ, Q4.

4 minutes of dialogue [...] does not explain this 45-to-an-hour shit

Would you rather they kept the full 45-minute conversation in the film?

All that stuff on the ocean planet took over 3 hours?

Rendezvousing with the planet on its orbit after the slingshot, plus the full atmospheric entry sequence, plus everything we saw onscreen, plus the full 45-minute conversation, plus the climb to orbit, plus rendezvousing with the neutron star for a slingshot back to Endurance... actually, having all that happen in only 3 hours is kinda pushing it.

Mars right next door looks way safer than those new planets they traveled to.

It is. But the new planets have Earthlike gravity, water, an thick atmospheres. The mission objective was to find somewhere they could transplant a civilization, meaning checking out these strange new worlds is a necessary risk.

"The equation couldn't reconcile relativity and quantum mechanics. You need more." Like more dialogue so that you don't sound like a vague bastard.

How is that vague? For scientists somewhat familiar with GR and QM (which includes everyone in the scene), the statement makes sense.

But how do you know what to look for?

By looking at certain phenomena and specific parts of the black hole where the predictions of GR and QM are either incomplete or conflicting.

If you can crack your space helmet yet keep fighting, the planet's air can't be all that bad for you.

Mann's helmet cracked, but didn't breach. As for Cooper, he was exposed to a mixture of his suit's air and the surrounding atmosphere, a nontoxic but not sufficiently oxygenated mixture.

So they can disable AUTO docking but they can't disable his ability to video-game dock?!?!

Emergency manual backups are a must for spacecraft in case of computer failure. By definition, a manual backup is something that shouldn't be disable-able.

Excuse me, you're going to what the what to push you out of the what's what, now? I didn't hear what you said, but it sounds impossible.

Cooper said he'd take them to the critical orbit, a uniquely unstable orbit where a slight perturbation outward (rockets firing) can send the ship careening into space away from the event horizon with very little effort.

isn't it reasonable, with the scientific knowledge we have today, to assume this guy is vapor?

No; Gargantua's too big to do that. Tidal forces are weak enough that he'll only starting ripping apart once he gets very far inside the event horizon.

According to this movie, it's theoretically possible to fly into a black hole, eject, and then end up inside your daughter's childhood bookshelf.

Only if you have a 5D machine helping you out. Also, this only works if reality matches the specific kind of Anti-deSitter spacetime that Kip Thorne assumed in The Science of Interstellar. Currently, we can't prove if that's the case, but we're working on it.

If you can poke through a tesseract and touch books, why not just write a note and pass that through?

Cooper can only do basic push/pull actions to affect gravity within Murph's room. Handling a pencil & paper is much more mechanically complex and can't be done with the Tesseract's simple interface.

TARS can still communicate to Cooper from Bum-Fuck Egypt to Somewhere, Somethingsville.

TARS' path into Gargantua was very similar to Cooper's. He would have also fallen into the Tesseract.

How is he able to reach inside the glass of the watch?

Each of the "strings" is an object's worldline. Moving the worldline translates to a gravitational effect. So he's pushing on the watch hand's worldline, but not the worldline of the rest of the watch.

And how does he ensure the watch continues to deliver the message once he's done with it?

Anything Cooper does is stored within the Tesseract and repeated. Recall that the gravity anomalies causing the dust to fall were persistent.

[u/KngHrts2]

Jeremy, how do you guys score Dr. Tyson? That's pretty awesome

[u/StuM91]

Well that didn't take long... "This video contains content from Warner Bros. Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

Aaaaaaaaand it's blocked.
