Spoiler!

who "they" are. Some people were disappointed that they were "able to figure it out right away" but to me that's not the point. The whole thing about who "they" are is something that I have pondered for as long as I can remember.

Because to me, extra terrestrial life is inevitable. However them coming into contact with us is not even close. If anyone is going to contact us, it's us. That's the way I have felt for a very long time, and the way they were able to visualize extra-dimensional communication was excellent.

Spoiler!

"they", were the future humans... there's kinda this looping recursive paradox happening here... but time is supposed to be fucked up like that lol.


one thing that i cant get my mind over is...

that planet that had the super waves... my understanding is because it's near the super big black hole, the gravity from the blackhole constantly has the waves/water pulled up high like mountains, thats why they can stand on the seabed all the time... and it's not the waves that are travelling around the planet, but the planet spinning around, and the wave is stationary or something rather... but what bogglies my mind is that... the planet has 130% gravity... 1.3g right?

so they needed a rocket booster like some crazy big ass saturn V type booster rocket to LEAVE earth and get the shuttle up to the bigger engine/docking station... 1g, but on a 1.3g planet they can somehow escape the planets gravity with the little shuttle craft... wut... lol
