The human race will not last forever on Earth. The movie Interstellar shows that eventually the Earth will be useless for human life and we as a species will need space travel to find a new home, most likely in a new solar system. The quickest and most likely the only way to travel such great distances in the universe is by entering wormholes and hoping for the best. In the film once the characters travel through a wormhole they find a black hole. The filmmakers wanted it to be as scientifically accurate as possible so they studied it and developed a new idea that shows what a black hole could and most likely does look like.
I did not expect to learn about space today, in fact I thought it would be like, "Here's a movie! Look how the director uses this cool light trick! And look, camera angles and lenses!" but no it actually surprised me. Nice change of pace, I suppose. I do find this interesting because outer space has always fascinated me because there's so much that we have learned as a people throughout history and we learned it all on one planet. All our ideas and wisdom pretty much mean nothing to anything outside our planet. And the universe is huge, if Earth disappeared no-one would notice. We are essentially the little speck on the flower from Horton Hears a Who. Yep, a Dr. Seuss allusion. And black holes are the coolest things ever, they devour anything and everything.
