Interstellar’s proof of gravity
Turns out that the CGI in ‘Interstellar’ and the ray tracing software of the black hole, actually confirmed theories about gravity. In the end, Nolan got elegant images that advance the story. Thorne got a movie that teaches a mass audience some real, accurate science. But he also got something he didn’t expect: a scientific discovery. “This is our observational data,” he says of the movie’s visualizations. “That’s the way nature behaves. Period.” Thorne says he can get at least two published articles out of it. Remind me again how accurate Sandra Bullock’s Gravity was?
