For those of you who already watched or about to watch Interstellar, this is my perspective of the movie. I tried to explain the phenomenon occurring in the movie. I might be right or completely wrong but it is how I understood it. I will try my best to keep spoilers at bay.
People on earth age 24hrs a day because earth rotates around itself for 24hours a day (give or take) and revolves around the sun for 365 days. We represent our age in terms of time. However, the question is, why does earth rotate for 24 hours? Is it because of it's size, it's distance from the sun? Sure or may be, but what if the reason we age is not just because of time but also because of "gravity"? The gravity that Sun exerts on Earth, the gravity that's caused by the centrifugal force of earth's rotation. We age 1 year every 365 days. On Saturn those 365 days are 29.7 years. On Mercury those 365 days are 59 days. So what if across galaxies there are planets where one hour time becomes 7 years or even 20 earth years.Einstein proposed that time is relative to the velocity at which you are traveling. Then, why not gravity? Why couldn't gravity be relative? What if it is relative? Remember this when you watch the movie.
When an object enters a black hole, it becomes singular. No one knows what happens to the object anymore. There are too many variables to compute against. There are, though, two constants, time and gravity. Both are relative yet they are the only constants in a singularity. This assumption might one day help us construct time as a physical dimension. Where do we construct this physical dimension? It is a question in itself.
As with all Nolan movies, there is also a philosophical element in this movie. A third constant so to speak. Love, that has capacity to transcend both Space and Time. Love, that gives an explorer the power to do what is necessary. Love, that allows you to have faith in someone else.
Finally, there is a point in the movie, you will know when you see it, where you understand that a single act of self righteousness is as completely misguided guided as a selfish act of self preservation. Because, no single person can change the world. The moral compass of that one person will always point to the south no matter how you tilt it. Because, change is a direct result of collective action and to initiate that change that person needs support. To a father that comes from his family who believes in him.To a brother it comes from his siblings and to an explorer it is the support of his crew.
All this may either sound like riddles or just ridiculous, which ever one you choose to believe, I believe that when the time comes everything else in the movie just falls into place.
