Interstellar and the Miller planet: introducing the concept of gravitational differential force
In this work we analyze the formation of giant waves on the planet Miller, described in the science fiction film Interstellar. This planet orbits a supermassive black hole called Gargantua, and is subject to an enormous gravitational pull, which causes gigantic tidal forces. From the concept of grav...

Neste trabalho analisamos a formação das ondas gigantes no planeta Miller, descrito no filme de ficção científica Interestelar. Este planeta orbita um buraco negro supermassivo chamado Gargântua, estando sujeito a uma enorme atração gravitacional, o que ocasiona gigantescas forças de maré. A partir do conceito de potencial gravitacional, foi derivado uma expressão para determinar a altura das ondas devido à força de maré no planeta Miller. Neste artigo, discutimos a possibilidade de existência deste planeta nas condições propostas no filme e sugerimos algumas possibilidades para o ensino de conceitos e fenômenos físicos presentes neste fragmento de cena analisada.
