The Christopher Nolen Interstellar film is an epic space encapsulation of the need of mankind to explore the Universe. But the visual effects used in the film received timely attention.
By combining the world's leading physics knowledge of the black hole with advanced visual effects, Interstellar will show the most accurate black hole model in the history of science fiction. In the process of film production, some new discoveries were even made.
“None of the black holes or wormholes previously depicted in a Hollywood film looked like it really is,” says physicist Kip Thorn. "This is the first time that an image of a black hole begins with the general equations of Einstein's theory of relativity." Thorn is a guru's close friend to Stephen Hawking's black holes. Thus, with the help of Thorn, Nolen did something special. He is in a position to provide a public film screening with the rare fantastic view of the real science of black holes, while preserving the artistic presentation so that we can more easily understand this. "The visual effects department of Paul Franklin at Double Negative took Kip's mathematical data and created real visual ideas of what a black hole should look like," said Interstellar's producer Emma Thomas.
