The science behind the movies

One of the biggest problems with creating a movie that has real bases in palisade science is not everyone knows about the stuff your talking about. Interstellar ran into this problem due to it relying heavily on real world physics and science that was used to create a real sense of dred. In the movie the world is ending because earth can no longer grow enough food due to a virus that kills wheat and creates a massive famine and dust bole. This causes the human race to go out and find a habitable planet some where in the universe. Because the movie is based on science the only way to go out as far as the story required was the use worm holes witch are like giant cosmic short cuts. Theses are different from black holes witch are like giant whirlpools of nothingness and the people behind interstellar made the black hole as scientifically accurate a possible. Through the help of a scientist they were able to make a formula that the physics simulator could intimate and than create the most accurate looking black hole ever.
Personally I love when science is used to make something great better by adding realism. I also learned a great deal about the difference between black holes and worm holes and how the UG99 virus can cause the end of the world and that scares the cap out of me to ridicules degrees. In short best article this year at least in terms of stuff I didn't know I wanted to know.

  1. A little short. Perhaps try going a bit more into detail and referencing the "making a black hole" video (whatever it was called).
