The Science of Interstellar

By Kip Thorne

Categories: Science & Math

Physicist Kip Thorne, a scientific adviser on the film Interstellar, explains the real science behind the movie. Thorne discusses black holes, wormholes, gravitational slingshots, time dilation, extra dimensions and the physics used to create the film's images. He separates established science from educated guesses and speculation. Written for general readers and published in 2014, the book uses the film as a way into modern physics.
