However, some people have just realised what the eerie ticking sounds signify, and took to social media to share how shocked they were at the revelation.

One called it the ‘best movie of all time’, with others trying their hand at maths to see if the movie got it right with exactly how long Cooper was on the planet, but this is Nolan – he’s probably spot on.

Another user shared: “This movie should’ve won every Oscar.”

A third said: “My brain is big enough for this when I haven’t seen the movie. My brain is screaming that this isn’t how time works but I’m missing so much context.”

But do you know what causes the time warp on the planet?

It’s down to time dilation, which is where time slows down under the influence of a strong gravitational field.

Not only is it influenced by gravity and motion, but it also leads to different experiences of time depending on the circumstances.

It’s so complex that it can result in one person experiencing a few seconds while another person sees everything in slow motion.

Such as Einstein’s special relativity theory which states that the faster an object accelerates, the slower it moves through time.

So, gravity’s pull affects the passage of time, and as Miller’s planet is near a black hole, it’s experiencing time at a much slower rate compared to Earth.

Yup. I’m going to need a lie down now.

Interstellar is now showing in cinemas (again), in honour of its 10th anniversary.
