Question

Description acceptable. For comprehensibility reasons, asymmetries in this object’s brightness and colour caused by Doppler shifts were suppressed, as described in a paper co-authored by Kip Thorne. During a slingshot around this object, (15[3]-5[1])landers (15[2])detach from (15[1])the Endurance (15[1])in a scene accurately (-5[1])depicting the Penrose process. (15[4]-5[1])Readings from inside (15[1])this object are encoded in a broken watch by a character (15[1])interacting (15[2]-5[1])with his past (15[1])via a (*) tesseract, (10[1]-5[1])allowing his (10[1])daughter to develop a theory of quantum gravity. (10[1]-5[2])Due to time dilation caused by this object, that daughter Murph is dying by the time the Matthew McConaughey-played Cooper returns from his mission. For 10 points, name or describe this extremely massive object located at the far end of a wormhole in a 2014 Christopher Nolan film. (10[1]) (10[5]0[1])■END■

ANSWER: Gargantua [accept the supermassive black hole from Interstellar; accept the accretion disk around the black hole from Interstellar before “slingshot around this object” but reject afterward; prompt on supermassive black hole by asking “From what film?”; reject “the wormhole from Interstellar”]
