The Science of Interstellar: Kip Thorne

Einstein's law of time warps: 

everything likes to live where it will age the most slowly, 

and gravity pulls it there.

Tesserato, o hipercubo da quarta dimensão

"These giant walls of energetic matter, separate universes, float side by side, like huge sheets in the bulk/hyperspace. The membranes can be very close to each other, perhaps just a millimeter apart. An entire universe can be attached to a brain, or a universe can occupy the whole of another one. Look, I’m not making this up, I’m perhaps a bit sloppily mashing the concepts together, because indeed, I’m not a physicist nor a mathematician, but someone intellectually and emotionally interested in the subject matter!

Aurora: protons flying outward from the Sun are caught by Earth's magnetosphere and driven into the atmosphere, where collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules, making them fluoresce.

Black holes are made fully and solely from warped space and warped time. They contain no matter whatsoever, but they have surfaces, called "event horizonts", through which nothing can escape... A black hole circunference is proportional to its mass: the heavier it is, the bigger it is. 

From Anne Hathaway to Kip Thorne

1. What is the relationship of time to gravity?
2. Why do we think there might be higher dimensions?
3. What is the current status of research on quantum gravity?
4. Are there any experimental tests of quantum gravity?

Answers on the way

Do not go gentle into that good night

Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Do esplendoroso caos
