questions
1. Why do radio communications beyond the worm hole still work yet it was stated that only binary pings could come back. Why is communication one way only?
2. What was the problem of gravity? The movie implies they just need gravity to keep people alive in space for a few years it seemed to me and for what ever reason simulating gravity with centripetal force wasn't enough. Then the implication is that since we can't bridge quantum physics and general relativity we can't harness gravity. This is basically saying we need to form a grand unification theory to harness mass and sets the plot requirment that they must now enter a black hole. But why whats so important about artificial gravity to the point that lack of it comdenms all of the earths population to die.
3. Who really though that living in a planet that is exposed to so much gravity that 1 hours can spread out to 7 years would be able to sustain life. You'll be crushed by the time your that close to the event horizon?
4. Also the assumption made by The doctor on the frozen planet that evolution won't allow for altruistic behavior and there for why no one even bothers to try to get the whole world involved in a solution?
5. Why can't they have sent robot probes to all the 12 to survey them rather then sending human crews on one way trips which requires even more resources for the humans and their heavy life support systems?
6. Why did the frozen planet doctor just up and conclude robots lacking a fear of death is why robots would fail. Robot AI would be mission oriented some that can't be said of the crew that are more motivated to find loved ones on certain planets.
