It's my favorite movie, Interstellar.

After I've seen your interview with Kip Thorne, there's something that bothers me now.

What if they had telescopes and looked through the windows of the ship at their crewmate aging years for their minutes?

Wouldn't they be able to see the faster passage of time?

Or what would it have looked like?

Or is light itself affected and won't allow this to happen?

I understand, but it's also kind of insensitive to look into the telescope.

Hey, guys, look at this.

He's aging so fast, he just took out a reverse mortgage on his house.

I just had a sandwich, and during that time, he's been divorced three times, and he doesn't have any visitation rights.

Got it.

But in saying you're looking through the telescope, you're seeing things in slow motion, essentially?

Is that right?

Well, if you're looking at their behavior on the planet, yeah.

Oh yeah.

Because it, because even if the guy, because light itself gets stretched.

And so it looks like he's buffering basically.

Is that what we're saying?

If you could say who's president, it's basically who's present.

Are we talking about right?
