具体描述
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.

##By physical laws we humans discover decipher master and use to control our own fate, dealing with mist catastrophe the universe may throw at us.
评分##感到智商受了碾压。评分这么高，诸位想必都是看懂了的。最后斗胆揣测一下，Kip Thorne写这本书感觉像是在说，“看吧我在电影里应用的科学理论和假设都是高大上并且准确的你们看不懂电影就来看书看不懂书那我也没辙了反正我就是好莱坞最屌的物理学家[摊手]”。
评分##这不是科普书，是一本严肃的科学文献，对读者要求高，需要过硬的数学物理知识。所以反而没了读懂的压力，除了迷人的teserract（超立方体）章节读得仔细，其余畅快的浏览。推荐边观影边读，启示：科学怎么对视效妥协，如把无法视觉化的高维用三维来达意和讲故事。
评分##还算有趣的follow-up reading.
评分##第一次发现物理这么有趣，可惜词汇量太少，书中很多物理词汇，比较难。跳着看完了。
评分##拍个科幻电影容易么。话说这本写给general public看的书也让我大开眼界，第一次听说黑洞里的infalling和outflying奇点。书后面的further reading list是一个宝藏。

评分##神一样的电影背后神一样的书，虽然为了娱乐效果做了很多退让。有些地方没看懂，以后买了纸质书再看。最后还有每章的推荐阅读好贴心~I love Kip Thorne！
评分##science is the new black||终于慢吞吞的读完了，很荣幸成为豆瓣上读过这本书的第66个人。这本书就像是一个引子，把一个未知的世界的索引展现。这也是S拿到我送的kindle后看的第一本，两个人一起看书的感觉真好
