A journey through the otherworldly science behind Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film,Interstellar, from executive producer and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne.
Interstellar, from acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, takes us on a fantastic voyage far beyond our solar system. Yet inThe Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects ofInterstellar, shows us that the movie’s jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visu
內容簡介:
The best thing about this movie, as far as I''m concerned, is that it was designed from the beginning to be scrupulously accurate. Unrealistic in many ways, perhaps, as most interesting stories are, but everything that occurs in the movie is consistent with the laws of physics as far as we know them the material at the end delves into very speculative issues, but it does so in ways that are inspired by serious work in quantum gravity.
The fact that the movie is scientifically plausible could come as quite a surprise to many viewers, and this book gives them the opportunity to take the next steps toward understanding this surprising and incredibly beautiful science.
