    Captain America:Civil War to begin filming in two weeks

     

     



    "Following the events of Age of Ultron, the collective governments of the world pass an act designed to regulate all superhuman activity. This polarizes opinion amongst the Avengers, causing two factions to side with Iron Man or Captain America, which causes an epic battle between former allies."

    Lol we have just seen 4 major games

    Two handheld games

     

    A total of 6 games in 10 years on 3 different platforms

     

    It can hardly be called milking that UBi does

    AC began life in 2007 & it has seen 7 games on just a single console,8 if you count next gen.

     

     

    GoW has a lot of juice in it but you need a fresh combat approach as the same PS2 one won't attract the same way anymore

    Also some how figure out on how to out together a sensible story post the ending of 3

    There is no story post gow 3-one of the main attraction of GoW series is to kill gods & skyscraper sized Titans-Kratos killed all of them except one & we've already seen what happens with presequel (GoW-ascension).The best thing to do is reboot-GoW 1 with more combat & less puzzle.

    I played the gow games not very long ago (gow saga on ps3) and I liked 2 the best. The problem with 3 is it hits the high mark within opening 30 mins and the rest of the game simply plays catch up. Definitely play 1 and 2 IMO.

    True-GoW 2 is the best in the series also its director Cory Barlog working on the new GoW

    I liked the one on Miller's planet, starts with mellow ticking to signify the importance of time, and goes full blown orchestra 10min later, very Inception-y.

     

    And all the best lines in the movie belongs to TARS, sorry Cooper.

     

    What's your trust setting?

    Lower than you apparently :rofl:

    Some great quote from TARS:

     

    Newton's 3rd law the only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is leaving something behind.

     

    Everybody good? Plenty of slaves for my robot colony?

     

    Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings.

    Interstellar is new benchmark in Sci fi genre

    But really disappointed that hans zimmer did not won oscar for its soundtracks. For me Interstellar soundtracks are best i ever heard in any movie. It was just too good. The way it connects to you emotionally to movie its just breath taking.

    The docking scene music alone worth the oscar-

    I read about accretion disk in his book and how it is hot enough to power a planetary system for life, but it still doesn't explain why his ship doesn't get fried when he passes over it casually like they are rings of Saturn. Accretion disks are suppose to be hotter than the Sun with violent radiation.

     

    As I said earlier according to Kip Thorne-'Gargantua has the temperature of the surface of the sun," allowing it to emit appreciable light, but not enough gamma radiation and X-rays to threaten nearby astronauts and planets.' and many scientist are very satisfied with depiction of black hole-the only thing Chris deliberately removed is-gargantua's accretion disk colour will change with time due to Doppler effect but he puts just one colour due to cinematic effect.

     

     

    This actually brings up another point. If they're truly in a stable orbit around a super-massive black hole and the gravitational pull is massive enough to cause time dilation of 1 hour to 7 years, then they're merely few centimeters away from event horizon and the orbital speed must be very very close to speed of light for them to not feel its pull. You can do all the calculations yourself, the data is all there except the actual distance (which you can calculate)

     

    More on Miller's planet

     

    1) Phil Plait of SLATE criticized Interstellar in his initial review for Miller's planet but later he apologized by saying

     

    Well, I made a mistake in my review of the movie Interstellar. It’s actually a big but subtle one, and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it. And it brings up another issue, a point I made in my review that quite a few folks missed, so it’s worth discussing again.

    OK, first, my mistake. In my review, I talked about Miller’s planet, which orbited so close to the black hole (nicknamed Gargantua) that time dilation effects were huge. An hour spent on the planet meant that seven years elapsed back on Earth. My claim was that a time dilation that large would mean the planet was too close to Gargantua and couldn’t maintain a stable orbit.

    That’s true … for a nonrotating black hole. My error was not using the right equations for a black hole that’s rapidly spinning! This changes the physics quite a bit; the effects on spacetime around the hole are large. From what I can find, there is a stable orbit around a rotating black hole that can produce that kind of time dilation, so I was wrong there.

    Also, I had assumed (given the way it was depicted in the movie) that Gargantua was a stellar-mass black hole, one with perhaps 10 times the mass of the Sun. However, its mass has been revealed to be much larger, 100 million times the Sun’s mass! That makes it a supermassive black hole, the kind found in the centers of galaxies (like our Milky Way, though ours is about 4.3 million solar masses).

     

     

    2) This is from Reddit

     

    Q) Why doesn't the planet get sucked into the black hole if it's so close?

    Contrary to popular belief, it is perfectly possible to safely orbit a black hole. Only when an object gets extremely close (roughly when distance to the event horizon < diameter of the event horizon) does the extreme curvature of spacetime prevent stable orbits from existing. But Miller's world is extremely close to Gargantua, so what's holding it there? While Gargantua does have extreme gravity, another property of the singularity can help counteract it in some cases – its spin. When enough mass spins fast enough, it can actually “drag” the spacetime around it in a spinning motion. Gargantua is 100 million times heavier than the Sun and spins at 99.8% of lightspeed, so this effect is significant. It turns out, when you run the math, that there is an orbit just outside the event horizon where gravity and centrifugal effects balance out, and Miller’s world can reside. The orbit is also stable: any perturbation pushing the planet slightly closer or further away will cause an opposing reaction force, keeping the planet in its orbit.

     

    3) from IMDb faq

    How is Miller's planet so close to the black hole and experiences time relativity, yet doesn't get sucked into it? Isn't this scientifically incorrect?

     

    Any mass can have a stable orbit around a black hole, where the mass is in free fall towards the black hole but its high lateral velocity keeps it curving around. It is only when an orbit decays and an object crosses the event horizon that it is then conjectured to be consumed by the black hole. Since black holes themselves are invisible, the main way astronomers discover them are by observing large objects like stars orbiting invisible phenomena. Also in the film, the only visible part of the black hole assembly is the accretion disk outside of it producing light much like a star does through fusion. Because this disk is outside the event horizon the light it produces is visible rather than being sucked in. The black hole itself is merely a condensed black sphere devoid of any visible qualities save for the effects its gravitational field has on the matter and energy around it (provided that matter and energy is outside the event horizon) . Although its gravitational field is many times stronger than other large objects, it can be orbited stably by another object just like the sun or any other object with a sufficient gravitational field. Again as mentioned before this has been observed and is in fact our main way of detecting black holes.

    This is exactly why I said inaccurate. The amount of gravitational force required to warp time by that much is so vast it will rip you and your ship apart in nanoseconds, including the planet they were standing on. It may work in the fantasy land of dream within a dream, but not where you have proven equations to calculate gravity and time dilation.

     

    Also neutron star is essentially a dead star that failed to become a black hole, and only thing it gives out is massive amounts of lethal radiation super dose. You're better off without a star.

    The time dilation is the result of the black hole's gravity, not the planet's. You don't feel the black hole's gravity because you and the planet are in orbit around it so feel weightless relative to it, but you still experience the time dilation.
    The black hole can itself act as the sun because according to Kip Throne supermassive rotating black hole (which possesses an ergosphere, as opposed to a non-rotating black hole) &
    anemic and at low temperature—about the temperature of the surface of the sun," allowing it to emit appreciable light, but not enough gamma radiation and X-rays to threaten nearby astronauts and planets.'Also its a gentle one so one will not rips apart into molecule if someone goes into the black hole(i.e crosses the event horizon) fast enough-as shown in the film.

    That's a good point lol.... also I don't think a planet could exist that close to a black hole in theory in the first place :P

    Also, if we really go by the theory of physics, that whole concept of traveling through a worm hole is near impossible as the worm hole would collapse far too soon for someone to actually pass through it .... :P

    The wormhole was created by 'they' & 'they' are able to sustain a wormhole as long as they want.

    I would've liked Interstellar more if Nolan didn't try to pull Inception time dilation shocker again, which was scientifically inaccurate to begin with. Plus if you're looking for a habitable planet, one that is orbiting a black hole is the last place you wanna go (because no Sun). But other than that it was perfect, would watch it again when the blu-ray comes out.

    Time dilation isn't scientifically inaccurate-its very much possible for time to slow down if you move too fast or if you are too close to massive gravitational pull.

    Cooper mention about a neutron star before landing to Miller's planet so there is a sun-also in the end there's a line-'By the light of our new sun'
