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.

用户评价
##书，比电影好看。其中许多概念，不陌生，不过贵在概念下的数学，像飘浮在半空的“悟”下面，一级级铺上来的台阶。听说、知道，跟会做能做，一个地上，一个天上。自己缺乏空间想象力，书里很多地方读不透。
评分##还算有趣的follow-up reading.
评分##The Science of Interstellar
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##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。
