The '1 Hour Here Is 7 Years on Earth' meme originates from Christopher Nolan's 2014 sci-fi epic, Interstellar. In the film, Cooper and his crew land on Miller's Planet, which is so close to a massive black hole that time moves significantly slower than it does on Earth. The line is spoken by Matthew McConaughey's character to emphasize the high stakes of their mission. On the internet, the template is used hyperbolically to describe situations that feel like they take an eternity, such as waiting for a software update to finish, sitting through a long meeting, or waiting for a delivery. It has become a universal shorthand for extreme impatience and the feeling that time has slowed to a crawl.
