The Sun circles the galaxy once every ~230 million years. Last time we were roughly here, the dinosaurs were just getting started. One lap. That's all it's been. 🌌

Nolan wanted one hour on Miller’s planet to cost seven years on Earth. Kip Thorne checked and it works only if Gargantua spins within one part in 100 trillion of the maximum possible rate. Physics said technically yes 🌊
