"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."
