Culture News Christopher Nolan is right. The “science” in this science fiction film is no longer fiction, but reality

It's the black hole

You don't have to spend a lot of time looking at Nolan's filmography to realize that the director is fascinated by science and technology. In the movie Interstellar, the famous director enlisted the help of physicist Kip Thorne, to ensure that the film was as realistic as possible in what it presented., even if it addresses the concepts being discussed. In an interview on the channel Our country for food industries Grab it before screenrantNolan explains how he worked with the physicist on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, especially regarding the black hole representation.

Kip insisted on telling the visual effects about the black hole. I was a little worried about this because at the end of the day you want something that looks great. It doesn't matter if it's scientifically accurate. But Kipp found all the equations that determine how a black hole's gravity will affect the light behind it and how it will appear. It just needed the computing power of our visual effects company to render it. He worked closely with Paul Franklin, our visual effects supervisor, and they created this incredibly realistic rendition of a black hole. They have also jointly published several scientific articles on this topic. Christopher Nolan, BFI

Nolan then explains his reaction when he saw the first image of a real black hole in 2019, 5 years after the film was released in theaters, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. “I looked at the picture and called Kip, and said to him, “Well, I guess you were right. I'm very happy to see that you were right and that our black hole is holding up. This has become the standard way of thinking about things today, but it was all based on real science.” Extremely.“Announce.

The film tells the adventures of a group of explorers who travel through space in search of planets that can accommodate the human race. Unfortunately, the trip will not go smoothly. Joseph Cooper (played by Matthew McConaughey), one of the explorers, will have to make big sacrifices. Announced at the Game Awards, the Exodus video game is inspired by several themes from the film, including the theme of time (which passes at different speeds). Matthew McConaughey will also lend his voice to one of the characters in the game.
