gargantua

The images of Gargantua in Interstellar were more impressive than the black hole image to me.

You spend a subjective two hours in Gargantua and decades pass on the outside.

You need a sci-fi type discovery such as the anti-gravity equation that Cooper finds inside the Black hole Gargantua and sends back to Murph.

Osama is not expert or mentor, but he is a barbarian of innovation, a benevolent guru a Gargantua entrepreneurship and most importantly, a lover of knowledge.

But it's allowable as real physics, because there could be some exotic physics involved in keeping Gargantua spinning that fast, possibly intervention by the civilization that created the tesseract.

You might enjoy Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel.

About your point with the order of visits though: I could see them using Gargantua for a slinghot maneuver after the first planet, which should work given the right constellation.

I enjoyed Rabelais's Pantagruel and Gargantua a lot, and I first read them by myself when I was in highschool (I knew a bit of Latin and Greek, which helped).

I'm sure Gargantua and Pantagruel is tough in French, but I'd like to recommend it in English translation to people who don't speak French where it's just a lot of good fun.

* Fiction Rabelais - Gargantua and Pantagruel.

Even if they set up a colony there, at any time the planet could run into an orbiting black hole or neutron star, or get slingshotted by one of them into an unfavorable orbit or into Gargantua itself.

He addresses that in the book > I found that Chris’s huge slowing of time requires Gargantua to spin almost as fast as the maximum: less than the maximum by about one part in 100 trillion.

The gravitational lensing near the wormhole and Gargantua was amazing to "see" as one moved closer them.

Why should contribution to “the world”, the gargantua of global culture, history, and economy, be the yardstick of worth?

My native tongue is French, so in my case it was Rabelais' "Gargantua" (~1500) and "La Chanson de Roland" (~1100).

Gargantua is a spinning "Kerr" blackhole in the movie.

Of course, that kind of maneuver twice, on both the descent into Gargantua's gravity well and the return trip, is totally implausible...

From Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, the lands of Lilliput and Gargantua.

It seems like there's a reasonable basis for excluding it from the plot without declaring it impossible: if Earth technology was that advanced, they wouldn't need to travel to Gargantua's system.
