"The most destructive force in the Universe" but enough about me this is the 1979 novelisation of The Black Hole movie by none other than movie novelisation mainstay Alan Dean Foster. To avoid nightmares the novelisation simplifies the ending.

“What we have in Julia is a misguided “important movie” winded by Oscar-baiting bloat and a story never told all that conclusively. Well-made but, as it so often goes with expensive studio fare, lacking in substantiality.”
