The Endurance is rotating at approximately 60–80 RPM. To dock, the Lander must match this angular velocity.
As explained by Romilly using a piece of paper and a pencil, a wormhole is a "shortcut" through spacetime. While we see it as a circle on a 2D map, in 3D space, a hole is a sphere. The Endurance is rotating at approximately 60–80 RPM
A wormhole is a topological feature of spacetime, connecting two distant points. The stability of a wormhole is determined by its throat, a narrow region where the spacecraft must navigate to establish a connection. The throat's stability is influenced by factors such as: While we see it as a circle on
| Factor | Explanation | |--------|-------------| | | Based on real orbital mechanics; Kip Thorne verified. | | Visual clarity | Camera spins with Ranger, then with Endurance – you see the relative motion stop. | | Emotional stakes | Brand is unconscious; Cooper must do it manually; high g-force. | | No violation of known physics | Nothing breaks Newton’s laws or GR. | | Consistent internal rules | The film already established realistic spaceflight (no sound in vacuum, no instant deceleration). | The throat's stability is influenced by factors such
