“We must confront the reality of interstellar travel.”
Professor Brand (Caine)
From Christopher Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, INTERSTELLAR is in cinemas everywhere NOW. To coincide with the release we’ve taken a look at the science behind the story.
Whilst crops are dying, dust storms are raging and mankind’s time on earth coming to an end Interstellar takes audiences on an exhilarating adventure through the eyes of pioneering explorers moving outwards into a new galaxy.
THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER
Talking about Interstellar, Thorne believes “the thing that makes this film different is that real science was woven into this film and woven in deeply.” As the foremost authority on all things gravitational, he was always on hand to ensure that the story didn’t stray from the boundaries of established science. The visual effects department took Thorne’s data and produced spectacular depictions of blackholes and wormholes never seen before in cinema. A collaboration with VFX supervisor, Paul Franklin, suggests that they “potentially may have discovered a couple of new things that were lurking inside the mathematics, inside the physics.”
