The Science of Interstellar

by Christopher Nolan, Kip S. Thorne
The Science of Interstellar - Thryft
The Science of Interstellar - Thryft

Real science behind the movie Interstellar.

Recommendation: The Science of Interstellar is an excellent read for fans of astrophysics and science fiction. Kip Thorne provides an in-depth and fascinating look at the real science that inspired the movie's depiction of wormholes, black holes, and time dilation. Readers will gain a better understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe and the incredible phenomena they can produce.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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 in The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, shows us that the movie’s jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself. In chapters on wormholes, black holes, interstellar travel, and much more, Thorne’s scientific insights—many of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellar—describe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible.Interstellar and all related characters and elements are trademarks of and © Warner Bros.
