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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Interstellar if my absolute favorite movie of all time. This book painstakingly went over every bit of science in the movie and then some. It may seem a bit daunting at first, but as long as you download the pdf companion (trust me you need it), the science all comes together. Fyi- I "listened" to this book.
Thank you Kip Thorne for all you did to make this movie and book happen.

Phenomenal.

The narrator was great and the story itself fascinating. My only complaint is that the science information can be hard to understand without having the PDF companion right in front of you. I would have enjoyed this more as a hardcopy book.

Great book, but not the best for an audiobook

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was extremely hard to put down.

Note: you have to request the PFD from a 3rd party. However, that was super easy as they provide that in the first 5 mins.

Awesome
