| Quote JackDole (  ) For me, it is. I mean, who am I to disagree with Kip Thorne.
Kip doesn't claim that it is plausible for a planet to be there. He explored what the properties of a planet would be if one was there, because this was critical for the film's story. Nolan wanted a planetary location where the crew would experience extreme time dilation and giant waves. Kip went "okay, it would have to be located this close in, and here's how the waves could work with a roughly 1-hour period."
Quote JackDole ( ) But I do not know how I can get the rocking back and forth, as far as I understand it, that's not the same as the precession.
Yeah, basically the planet's longest axis is rocking back and forth like a pendulum, rather than precessing in a circle. I don't think this is possible to show in the current engine.

I know that the relevant sections are marked with 'S' as 'Speculative'. But who asks for plausibility? I only follow the premise, if it is not physically impossible, maybe it can indeed exist somewhere in spite of improbability. The universe is pretty big. 
It is also highly unlikely that anyone alive today, sometimes looks a distant star at close range, but who knows? I do not give up hope.

| That's actually still outside the event horizon. If you select the black hole, the ratio r/rg indicates your distance in units of Schwarzschild radii (or the horizon radius), so the horizon is at r/rg=1.0. Another useful stat is "z" which is a measure of the redshift, and z+1 is the time dilation factor (e.g. if z=2, then time passes 3 times more slowly there). z approaches infinity as you approach the horizon, and is undefined once inside.
I did see a blue star inside the horizon, but no planets. Also, this is a pretty crazy situation.  The black hole is way too big -- about 3/4 of a light year in radius. It should be more like a light day (~200 AU). Which is still pretty dang big!

Some black holes currently are so massive you can see them from outside the galaxy.
The black dot in the center of this galaxy is a visible black hole
Cockpit views traveling at warp.
Had to mess around with the shader and camera placement for this.

Awesome cockpit views!

| RSC 10381-12339-3-118-95 7 :
It is true that the black hole is very large and it bug for the distance from the black hole and the size of the accretion disk and the ocean planet with life makes me think Interstellar but in XXL version .
(It looks like but it is not taken from this planet when it is night and lift the black hole because in day due to the atmosphere, not seen very well.
Personally, even if there is life, I would be afraid to make a bad manipulation to land on this planet and falling into giant black hole.)
