Physics Journal Recommends INTERSTELLAR For Science Classsrooms

[Frank W. Baker]

Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” should be shown in schools to help students understand the theory of general relativity, scientists wrote in the latest edition of a leading academic journal. They also said that the portrayal of wormholes in the movie was scientifically accurate.

The paper, “Visualising Interstellar’s Wormhole,” published in this month’s edition of the American Journal of Physics, stated that the 2014 blockbuster film not only featured the wormholes and black holes in the most realistic way, but also created their images, which can be used for relativity and astrophysics research.
