And even the black hole rendering was defective, because although they did GR ray tracing, they suppressed the doppler beaming effect which makes the side of the black hole moving towards the observer much brighter than the side moving away. So the image they produced was not very realistic.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoBy this argument, anything that doesn’t include every possible level of physics is defective.
- ConceptJunkie 5y agoNolan was aware of that effect, and it was simulated. He exercised artistic license in leaving it out. That doesn't take away anything from the movie.
- PopePompus 5y agoYes, I know that (Kip Thorne commented about it publicly), but still in my opinion it was a stupid choice. What would be so bad about trying to actually show what the BH would look like, if you're going to go to all the effort of GR ray tracing? My comment is being downvoted, but I stand by it. Why include lots of the physics, but not one of the most important effects?
