Across
- 3. A fundamental theory in physics developed by Albert Einstein, encompassing both Special and General Relativity, explaining how motion and gravity affect space and time
- 5. A plant disease, typically one caused by fungi such as mildews, rusts, and smuts
- 8. Anomaly An irregularity or disturbance in the gravitational field, often indicating the presence of a massive object or phenomenon
- 10. Horizon The boundary surrounding a black hole beyond which no light or other radiation can escape
- 14. The name of the spacecraft used by the main characters to travel through the wormhole and explore new planets
- 16. One of the robotic assistants accompanying the Endurance crew, characterized by a blocky, modular design and a distinct personality
- 17. Planet A water-covered planet near a black hole where time dilation causes significant differences in the passage of time
- 18. Mann A scientist and astronaut who leads one of the Lazarus missions and becomes a key character in the story's exploration of ethics and survival
- 19. A smaller spacecraft used by the crew of the Endurance for surface landings and exploration
Down
- 1. Another robotic assistant on the Endurance, similar to TARS but with its own unique personality and functions
- 2. A point in space-time where gravitational forces cause matter to have infinite density and zero volume, often found at the center of black holes
- 4. A hypothetical tunnel connecting two different points in space-time
- 6. B A contingency plan involving the use of frozen human embryos to ensure the survival of the human race if Plan A (finding a habitable planet) fails
- 7. Missions The series of exploratory missions sent through the wormhole to find habitable planets
- 9. Dilation A difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers, due to a relative velocity between them or the presence of a gravitational field
- 11. In the film, a four-dimensional space that allows time to be viewed as a physical dimension, helping to illustrate the concept of higher dimensions
- 12. Sleep The practice of freezing and preserving humans or other organisms to slow down biological processes, theoretically allowing for long-duration space travel
- 13. In theoretical physics, refers to higher-dimensional space beyond the familiar three dimensions
- 15. Station A space habitat named after the protagonist, where humanity seeks refuge and survival
- 17. Law A play on Murphy's Law ("anything that can go wrong, will go wrong"), referring to Murph, a key character whose insights are pivotal to the plot
