The biggest plot hole in Interstellar?

The gravity of Millers Planet is one of the biggest complaints I see when people talk about the science of Interstellar.

Most complaints will say that you can't orbit that close, or that the tides would tear the planet apart, or that the waves are physically impossible. But most don't realise that every factor was calculated to be as mathematically precise as possible by Kip Thorne himself.

So my plot hole isn't about the science, it's about the logic of the scientists themselves. It's the actions they take with the information that they have.

But...something has to drive the plot and tell the story, so I'm not mad about it. I still think it's one of the greatest science movies ever made.

Read Kip Thornes book!! - The Science of Interstellar.
