some nice early morning reading https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/148456/escape-velocity-to-leave-the-water-planet-in-the-movie-interstellar
Next up, are the waves on the water planet possible?
Maybe I should read the book, eh
What's the undersea surface topography like? If uneven, waves are possible.
the big waves/tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the close by black hole
otherwise 🤷♀️
