All human efforts to make sense of Solaris's activities prove futile. The "guests" of the other researchers are only alluded to. It does this by materializing physical simulacra, including human ones Kelvin confronts memories of his dead lover and guilt about her suicide.
The ocean's response to this intrusion exposes the deeper, hidden aspects of the personalities of the human scientists, while revealing nothing of the ocean's nature itself. Their experimentation gives unexpected results and becomes psychologically traumatic for them as individually flawed humans. Shortly before Kelvin's arrival, the crew exposed the ocean to a more aggressive and unauthorized experimentation with a high-energy X-ray bombardment. Thus far, the scientists have only compiled an elaborate nomenclature of the phenomena, and do not yet understand what such activities really mean. A scientific discipline known as Solaristics has degenerated over the years to simply observing, recording and categorizing the complex phenomena that occur upon the surface of the ocean. The scientists there have studied the planet and its ocean for many decades, mostly in vain. Kris Kelvin, a psychologist, arrives aboard Solaris Station, a scientific research station hovering near the oceanic surface of Solaris. Terran scientists conjecture it is a living and a sentient being, and attempt to communicate with it. The planet is almost completely covered with an ocean of gel that is revealed to be a single, planet-encompassing entity. Solaris chronicles the ultimate futility of attempted communications with the extraterrestrial life inhabiting a distant alien planet named Solaris. Prominent film adaptations include Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 version and Steven Soderbergh's 2002 version, although Lem later remarked that none of these films reflected the book's thematic emphasis on the limitations of human rationality. The book has been adapted numerous times for film, radio, and theater. The novel is one of Lem's best-known works. It follows a crew of scientists on a research station as they attempt to understand an extraterrestrial intelligence, which takes the form of a vast ocean on the titular alien planet. Solaris is a 1961 science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem.
