Not the power of love, the power of gravity. Specifically, the class of gravitational theories that she herself was studying.

Yes, the "love" shit was overblown, but they really only mentioned it two or three times, and never in the objective sense that people are taking them to.

The robot was sending the Morse code signal, and we didn't see any of that. We don't know where (when) that signal got communicated to.

>to deliver the secrets of the physical universe

Well, not the secrets of the physical universe, just a few parameters in a theory that she'd otherwise already worked out.

Anyone can say that, and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Yes, there are a lot of silly monologues, but you know that going in when it's a Christopher Nolan movie. Yes, there's a lot of theoretical physics that doesn't interest most people, but that much was advertised heavily. It's totally fine not to enjoy the movie.

But people blame plot holes that really aren't there. Just say you aren't interested and leave it at that.
