'” says retired astronaut Marsha Ivins, a five-time shuttle veteran who served as a technical consultant on Interstellar. Sweet touch, but Nolan deflects credit to his brother Jonathan, who co-wrote the script.The science, to hear cosmologists tell it, can be spot-on too. If it sounds eerily like those actors know exactly what they’re talking about, it’s because they do–and most of them aren’t actors. “Do you suppose it broke away from the–away from the Earth like a lot of people say?”“Don’t ask me, babe,” his crewmate John Young answered. It is the job of stories like Interstellar to help us close the gap.

But suppose your plot requires information in the form of some kind of energy to come back out or the human species dies? If you could make a black-hole plush toy, it would be a big seller.”So great is our hunger for a science film that can both entertain and edify that in the same week that Interstellar opens, so does David Marsh’s deeply moving film The Theory of Everything, a biopic about Stephen Hawking, which deals with much of the same science as Interstellar while telling Hawking’s personal tale. No fool that 10-year-old daughter of his–played by Mackenzie Foy–who must stay behind on the earthly wasteland. He once told London’s Sunday Telegraph that it’s a habit he adopted out of respect for the crew. It has lesser priests as well: Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson–the great communicators. However, within a relative hour after her arrival, she encountered one of the massive tidal waves circling the planet. “But what we’re trying to do is observe those constraints and then move to the most extreme places we can with them.”That opens up lots of narrative possibilities. Earth's future has been riddled by disasters, famines, and droughts.

“And gravity doesn’t just pull on matter–it pulls on time itself.” You can think of space and you can think of time, but if you think of them together as the horizontal and vertical threads in a weave, you realize that you can’t stretch one without stretching the other.Just as true, if far trickier, is another aspect of black holes.

movies “Kip has calculated the ray tracings going through the wormhole geometry,” says Princeton cosmologist J. Richard Gott. It’s a beautifully shot scene, and it could stand on that all by itself. physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth's population to a new home via a womhole. It’s not for nothing that Hathaway’s astronaut character is a trained biologist and not, say, an engineer. In order to find a new home while Earth decays, Cooper must decide to either stay, or risk never seeing his children again in order to save the human race by finding another habitable planet.A team of explorers must find the human race a new home after Earth is struck with worldwide food shortages and corn is the most valuable food. “We could not in the film make it as bad as it really was or people wouldn’t believe it.”But the Interstellar dust bowl was bad enough, and that made the scene in which McConaughey leaves to save the world the most wrenching moment in the movie. And they have endurance and they have persistence and they stick to it.” That hero remains necessary to human affairs whether he–or she–is a Western pioneer or a space explorer. “Now he has a chance to go experience his dream again, and on top of that, oh, he may save the species. I don’t care nothing about that.”“It sure looks different,” Cernan said, trailing off.Cernan’s question hung unanswered in the air, and before long the men turned to other, more immediate matters.

That’s not easy if you want to keep your movie entertaining. Dad, meanwhile, a frustrated rocketeer who was grounded after the blight hit and government space programs became an unaffordable luxury, suddenly sees his ticket to ride.

A newly discovered wormhole in the far reaches of our solar system allows a team of astronauts to go where no man has gone before, a planet that may have the right environment to sustain human life. It speaks to the thematic hugeness and the emotional aridness of 2001 that the movie’s most memorable character is the HAL 9000 computer, who may have betrayed the crew but still breaks your heart when he pleads for forgiveness as astronaut Dave Bowman is shutting him down. Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, and Anne Hathaway star in Interstellar. That may be true, but it does nothing to make him seem more approachable. So is it selfish to leave? On Twitter, you praised the way Interstellar handled Einstein’s Relativity of Time and Curvature of Space. That’s the prime thing,” says Nolan. Each tick you hear is a whole day passing on Earth. In some ways Nolan has it easier, because a sci-fi movie can take liberties a nonfiction tale like Apollo 13 couldn’t.But in some ways he has it harder. “No matter how much technology has evolved,” says McConaughey, “it comes back to human will, human chutzpah, human resilience.”There’s a similar authenticity to the part of Interstellar that takes place on Earth. According to “The Science of Interstellar” by Kip Thorne, Miller’s planet is shaped somewhat like a football, with one end constantly pointing at Gargantua.
