I wonder what you are doing right now. I hope you have found Amelia and you two are on another adventure into the depths of the space, with a little more honesty on your part, isn't that right Cooper, 90 percent? This movie is about Miracles & Dreams, not of Science. And, to drive it home, religious hints litter the movie, as pointed out with the Lazarus missions above. From acclaimed Harvard astrophysicist and bestselling author of Extraterrestrial comes a mind-expanding new book explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity’s survival and detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars.

And that is where the Future that is shown to us breaks down. It shows us an agrarian world that is still capable of inter-planetary travel. That would require a very fast breakdown of things. Fast enough to not let the technology or the knowledge wither away. One bad generation would enough to lose the skills that were required for the Exodus. The plot had to assume an almost impossible fast degeneration and a lot of coincidental happenings in that very small window allowed even in such a world. That is not very realistic. I watched Interstellar during a long flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta. By the end of the movie, I was convinced of two things: So, for these kinds of far-out proposals, is it fair to say they’re more plausible or even easier in some ways than the notion of wormholes or warp drives? And if you think it's all "science-y", you couldn't be more wrong! At its core, the story is about love. Love between a father and his daughter. The writing was simple. It didn't feel like the writer was trying so hard to impress us with words and sentences. It was beautiful storytelling that felt, at times, as if you were right next to Cooper trying to bend space and time.In the end, even when this book was great, I have to admit the movie was better. Maybe that's because I watched the movie first, and this book is in fact based upon the movie, but I liked the movie better. While you can experience all the feels better by reading the book, you cannot replace those amazing effects and music. The main post on that thread has the most recently updated list, as compiled by those forum users. Here’s a copy of the list from the main post:

Now, you may have small amounts of money—tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars—spent on this, but nothing is wrong with that. Peer-review, at least in the United States and in Europe, is too strong for there to be any danger of millions or billions of dollars being spent on these things. The technology required for wormholes is so far removed from our current and plausible near-future capabilities that to throw lots of money at it would almost certainly be a total boondoggle.

Thorne is even-handed in his treatment of the film’s science, admitting where artistic license was substantial and where it was used barely at all. If you enjoyed the film, but found parts of it confusing or puzzling, The Science of Interstellar and the perspectives it provides might be for you. I don't know whether I'll read this book or not, but one thing is for sure: I frigging loved the movie. Like, really, really loved it. The movie is, by far, one of the best I've seen in a lot of time. Lee Billings is a science journalist specializing in astronomy, physics, planetary science, and spaceflight, and is a senior editor at Scientific American. He is the author of a critically acclaimed book, Five Billion Years of Solitude: the Search for Life Among the Stars, which in 2014 won a Science Communication Award from the American Institute of Physics. In addition to his work for Scientific American, Billings's writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, Wired, New Scientist, Popular Science, and many other publications. A dynamic public speaker, Billings has given invited talks for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Google, and has served as M.C. for events held by National Geographic, the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, Pioneer Works, and various other organizations. I've seen the movie so many times so there wasn't any difference between watching the movie and reading the novelization of it, except in time spent on it.

We are explorers, we are adventurers. Humanity is not meant to give up like this, Nolan tells us. And uses Dylan to drive the point home (too many times!).This is where science comes in. Under what scientific capacity we have, and with what technology we can reasonably expect in the near future, we cannot really travel inter-galactic distances in a time span that is remotely realistic, at least for current generations. Nor do we have the cryopreservation methods to take any live humans across such time spans. The movie left an indelible mark on me, and now so has the book. I feel it is futile to summarise the story in its entirety since I would recommend anyone to watch the film first and then proceed to the novel. Greg Keyes has done a remarkable job in preserving the visual essence of the film. Abstract notions of time traveling, navigating cosmic distances, the infinite power of love and survival, human progress and limitations of human ingenuity are all suffused within this one story. Keyes briefly fills in the blanks left by the film, but without giving too much away. He also expounds on characters and situations they are in a manner which stays true to the spirit of this story. Explaining which ones were based on proven true scientific facts, which ones on educated guesses and which ones on speculation. But always, without leaving anything to chance or without, at least, an accepted theory by the scientific community as possible. The movie is exclusively based on a String Theory interpretation of the universe. Most of it won’t make sense unless you accept all the premises required under String Theory. The book doesn't compare to the greatness of the film, the book doesn't depict Coopers personality as well as Matthew portrayed it. Which is expected but still I favor the film to the book this time around.

If you watched the film (that definitely I recommend to do before of reading this research book), you may wonder how they can explain some key details that it seemed to be kinda farfetched on the movie. These descriptors listed above the comment field are pretty stupid for a novelization of a screenplay. Was it predictable? Well, I would say so BECAUSE I SAW THE MOVIE FIRST! A novelization is different from a novel in terms of movies. Movies *never* fully reproduce all the content of a novel. It is almost impossible to do so. So a screenplay is written to make the "inside the character's head" aspect strictly visual. And the sheer detail of most novels defies full reproduction in anything short of a ten hour movie. This is an eminently plausible future. It is also an eminent plausible reaction to such a future. In face it is very close to what Naomi Oreskes imagines in her own Near-future scenario: Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future. A dictatorial regime, community-based (communist, in fact), strictly controlled, paranoid. We have seen these things before in history, during the dark ages. It is one of our worst nightmares. The story follows the same it did with the movie, but I understand things better now. The relativity things are better explained, for instance. And of course, the parts that make you think are inside the characters' heads, and that you can only get by reading the book.But this story is Marvelous !!, so beautifully incredibly breath taking , and i include both the movie and the book in this description , that its a stark exception . At first glance, Interstellar does seem to have a green message, warning that climate change could make the world uninhabitable for humans (and, presumably, other species). Yet there's an odd twist. The tag line for the film is, "The end of the Earth will not be the end of us." And the lead scientist, played by Michael Caine (no longer Alfred the Butler), says at one point: "We are no Kip Thorne is a graduate scientist at Caltech and later professor there too, specializing in the field of theoretical physics and gravitational physics and astrophysics. A journey through the otherworldly science behind Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film, Interstellar, from executive producer and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne. Amidst numerous betrayals and the universe f**king them up in every way possible, would our team of astronauts be able to find a planet in a galaxy far, far away?
