The Science of Interstellar
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.

About the Author

Кип Торн — американский физик-теоретик, член Американской академии искусств и наук, Национальной академии наук США (1973 г.), член учёного совета NASA. Иностранный член Российской академии наук (1998 г.), профессор Калтеха (Калифорнийского технологического университета), почетный доктор МГУ. Кип Торн — автор идеи фильма "Интерстеллар", в сюжете которого используются современные физические теории и идеи. Он консультировал режиссера Кристофера Нолана и был исполнительным продюсером картины. Торн — автор нескольких научных и научно-популярных книг по физике, две из которых ("Будущее пространства-времени" и "Черные дыры и складки времени") написаны в соавторстве с его другом, известным популяризатором науки Стивеном Хокингом. Обе книги были переведены на несколько языков, включая русский. Книга Торна "Гравитация" стала классическим источником знаний по теории гравитации для современных ученых. В 2009 году Кип Торн был награжден медалью Альберта Эйнштейна.
