INTERSTELLAR
This film
“Interstellar” is based on real, scientific concepts like neutron stars,
spinning black holes, and time dilation. And for me, if you’re not at least semi-familiar with
these terms, you might end up feeling a little lost during the movie.
In the movie, a crew of
space explorers embark on an extra-galactic journey through a wormhole. What
awaits them on the other side is another solar system with a spinning black
hole for a sun.
They must race
against space and time to complete their mission. All this space travel can get
a little confusing, but it relies on some basic physics principles. And if we understand
these principles, then I bet we will spend less time guessing and more time
enjoying.
Generally , there are
five physics concepts you need to know in order to understand “Interstellar.”
Unfortunately, I’m going to explain one of them because personally I think the others concept are quite high understanding.

Well, it is Wormholes, like the one the
“Interstellar” crew use are one of the only physical phenomenon in the film
that don’t have any observational evidence to support their existence. They are
purely theoretical but an incredibly handy plot device for any science fiction
story looking to traverse cosmic distances.
This is because
wormholes are essentially shortcuts through space. Any object with mass will
create a divot in space, meaning space can be stretched, distorted, or even
folded. A wormhole is a fold in the fabric of space (and time) that connects
two, otherwise extremely distant, regions in space, which enables space explorers
to travel long distances over a short period of time.
The official term for
a wormhole is an Einstein-Rosen bridge because they were first theorized by
Albert Einstein and his colleague Nathan Rosen in 1935.By the way , the others physics
concepts in the movie are Artificial Gravity, Spinning Black Holes,
Gravitational Time Dilation and Five Dimensional Reality.
Thank you.
