Kip Thorne's "The Science of Interstellar"

Kip Thorne's "The Science of Interstellar" explores the real physics behind the film, focusing on concepts like black holes, wormholes, and time dilation. He explains how gravity from massive objects affects time, making it pass differently for astronauts near a black hole. Thorne discusses how scientific principles enable these phenomena, aligning with Einstein's theories, and clarifies what is scientifically plausible versus fiction. The book bridges complex astrophysics with cinematic storytelling, making these fascinating cosmic concepts accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy.
