The thing I’ve always loved about science fiction is that it asks big questions about society, and the nature of reality. It seems like there’s this trend in modern sci-fi (last 15 years or so) where the big questions take the back burner, and plots mainly focus on petty personal issues. For example, you might see a movie about first contact with an alien race, but instead, most of the focus will be on some guys marriage, or like an individual’s journey of self fulfillment. This is fine in moderation, and, in fact, sci-fi would be lesser without these aspects, but to make these things the main focus I think kind of takes away the wonder and mystique of it all.

I know technically it doesn’t generate *real* black holes, but still… woulda been a sick visual.
