Cinema / Fiction · True or False?
The answer is False.
The black hole is named Gargantua, a reference to the giant in "Gargantua and Pantagruel", the 16th-century satirical novel series by François Rabelais. Gargantua in the novel is a giant with an insatiable appetite who swallows everything in sight, fitting for a black hole since it devours all light and matter. Its depiction was designed with physicist Kip Thorne to be scientifically accurate, and the renderings even led to published scientific papers.
