Interstellar, acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan's latest blockbuster, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures, takes us on a fantastic voyage to the most distant reaches of our universe - and beyond our universe into the fifth dimension, or the "bulk," as physicists call it. Interstellar's otherworldly story and visual effects are steeped in real science, thanks in part to physicist Kip Thorne's involvement with the movie from its inception onward.
From black holes, wormholes, warped time, and warped space to singularities, quantum gravity, gravitational anomalies, the fifth dimension, Christopher Nolan's tesseract, and much, much more, Thorne explains in a lively way the movie's science and how it plays out in the story and the visual effects. In The Science of Interstellar, you'll learn that science fact can be as strange as science fiction.
