具体描述
A journey through the otherworldly science behind Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film, Interstellar, from executive producer and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne.
Interstellar, from acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, takes us on a fantastic voyage far beyond our solar system. Yet in The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, shows us that the movie’s jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself. In chapters on wormholes, black holes, interstellar travel, and much more, Thorne’s scientific insights—many of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellar—describe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible.

用户评价
I always think I hate Physics, which I did. But Kip Thorne changes everything for me. Astrophysics is interesting and amazing beyond my imagination. I am also fond of Kip's writing style. Plus,you will never find how fascinating the world is if you spend large amounts of your time shopping and gossiping.
评分##物理残居然读完了，可歌可泣。
评分##By physical laws we humans discover decipher master and use to control our own fate, dealing with mist catastrophe the universe may throw at us.
评分##结合电影， 没有数学公式
评分##书，比电影好看。其中许多概念，不陌生，不过贵在概念下的数学，像飘浮在半空的“悟”下面，一级级铺上来的台阶。听说、知道，跟会做能做，一个地上，一个天上。自己缺乏空间想象力，书里很多地方读不透。
评分##平易近人。与Kip Thorne可算是"相逢恨晚"了 :)
评分##物理残居然读完了，可歌可泣。
评分##从比较基础的东西讲起，但看得还是挺累，有些也没看明白。黑洞行星的轨迹太牛了。
评分##作为科普书看看挺不错的，看不懂也不纠结，大概能理解就好了
