The Physics of Interstellar (book)

"The Physics of Interstellar," written by physicist Kip Thorne, delves into the scientific concepts behind the film "Interstellar." It explores the theories of black holes, wormholes, and time dilation, all rooted in Einstein's General Relativity. Thorne explains how gravity affects time and space, suggesting that near massive objects, time can slow down. He also discusses the potential for traversable wormholes, offering a theoretical pathway through spacetime. Ultimately, the book bridges complex physics with storytelling, emphasizing the importance of scientific accuracy in exploring the universe's mysteries and our place within it.
