A nearby black hole has the answers to humanity\u2019s problems, and the brilliant script tells us we can enter a black hole and then use it to transcend space and time. In the film, the black hole also leaks out information that can save us, and it is captured by a complex computer as it\u2019s being entered. That might seem implausible, but since we don\u2019t know a lot about how black holes work, we can certainly accept such an outlandish proposition in the context of the movie.<\/p>\n<p>In real life, however, physicists are trying to figure out how to access the secrets of a black hole.
