From the movie Interstellar, this meme hilariously points out the scientific inconsistency in the famous "time dilation" scene. The first astronaut mentions the extreme relativistic effect where one hour on their water planet equals 7 years on Earth (due to proximity to a black hole). The second astronaut immediately calls out the physics fail - if time dilation were that extreme, the immense gravitational force would have instantly turned them into cosmic spaghetti! Einstein's General Relativity tells us that such dramatic time dilation would require gravitational forces no human could survive. The snarky response perfectly captures how sci-fi movies often bend physics for dramatic effect while hoping nobody notices!
