- Evolution proceeds by accretion that, as once the brain arrives on a solution that's good enough, it keeps it and then adds on new features, sort of like a New England add-on house where you add one room after another and it looks sort of funky,

- The visuals are so powerful, so accurate, that Thorne's planning on publishing two academic journal articles based on the computer renderings of a black hole used in the film, which led to a new scientific discovery that light temporarily trapped around the black hole produced an unexpectedly complex fingerprint pattern and a glowing accretion disk that appeared above, below, and
