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.

##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##The Science of Interstellar
评分##买了，等货。 --- 嗯嗯读完很久了，忘记把想读改成读过了。
评分##物理残居然读完了，可歌可泣。

评分I always think I hate Physics, which I did. But Kip Thorne changes everything for me. Astrophysics is interesting and amazing beyond my imagination. I am also fond of Kip's writing style. Plus,you will never find how fascinating the world is if you spend large amounts of your time shopping and gossiping.
评分##物理残居然读完了，可歌可泣。
评分##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##平易近人。与Kip Thorne可算是"相逢恨晚"了 :)
