Right on, I figured the time wouldn’t be that much different. It was the black hole Gargantuan that the planets in Interstellar were orbiting that cause the extreme time dilation, not the size of the planets themselves. I remember Cooper saying something about losing 50 years when he and Brand were slingshotting around the black hole at the end, before he went into it.
Anyway, I wonder if we’ll find pyramids on Earth 2.0. That might answer/raise a few questions.
For time dilation that intense the planet would have to be orbiting near the event horizon, which wasn’t the case. Black holes may have extreme gravity but strongest forces are very localized. In fact if our sun suddenly turned into a stellar mass black hole, the earth would still retain its regular orbit with virtually no difference in dilation.
The only exception is if the Gargantua’s rotational speed was very high, but then that would probably mean the tidal forces should’ve ripped the ship (and possibly the planet) apart.
They discovered a cheap affordable way to travel through space? Either that, or aliens. Maybe even some genetic mutation in space that turned some dude on one of the space station into a Superhuman. That would be worth the hype. Oh damn, what if it’s air on Mars?
Wow, the ever so predictable Pertho. You just had to grab onto my specific comment and get pissed. Just wait for it. Nibiru will be here around 2016-2017 and it will cover most of the sky. Actually, Nibiru is already in our solar system.

You’re so paranoid that you think I’m pissed. I’m not. I just think its hilarious that this is the thing you decided to bring up.
At least its better than the supposed Galactic Federation that was supposedly orbiting earth on November 18, 2008. Hope that was the date, the nonsense was hilarious that day.
Freaking Nibiru, this dude…Think that, aside from you, I might be the only one who knows wtf you were talking about.
Nah man, my brother is all into Nibiru and other conspiracy theories. He thinks there were giants who made the mounds in the Midwest and that aliens built the pyramids. As an archaeologist, it can be a little frustrating having a conversation with him at times. He thinks Bush was behind 9/11, too. Keeps going on about how steel fuel can’t melt jet beams or some shit.
