Beschreibung:
"An exclusive look at the science behind Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR ... 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."--
"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."--
