This is awesome. Some spot-on parodies/tributes. And a hell of a lot of effort.

He does a real good job of demonstrating why Interstellar's black hole looked the way it did. I knew they talked to a lot of science folks to come up with that depiction, but I had no clue why the result was what it was.
