In the film Interstellar, the characters visit a planet called Miller, which orbits near a massive black hole called Gargantua.

In this world, time is extremely dilated due to the powerful gravity of the black hole.

The amazing thing about this concept is that it is based on Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The film amazingly captures how the expansion of space affects time in such extreme circumstances.

The film also relies on accurate scientific data to describe how gravitational tides create giant ripples on planets near black holes.

Although the film is a work of science fiction, its commitment to scientific accuracy in these respects makes it all the more fascinating.
