Curiosity(@CuriosityonX):This is one of the most emotionally devastating images in modern science fiction. People don't realize this scene is real physics. Cooper ages four years. His daughter ages 89. Not because of magic. Not because of artistic license. Because of gravity. Time runs slower near massive objects. A planet near a black hole experiences time at a different speed than Earth does. One hour on Miller's planet is seven years on Earth. Christopher Nolan didn't invent this. Albert Einstein did. In 1915. And the math has been confirmed ever since. The most heartbreaking scene in modern science fiction is just general relativity, told as a love story.
