aliseadaeI went and saw Interstellar last night. My thoughts are: too few female characters, an excellent number of black holes. If you're watching for the characters, they're okay, I guess. If you're watching for black holes, yay black holes!
And I went and read about the science in it and apparently the black hole that is portrayed in the movie is as far as they can tell what a black hole would look like (same with the wormhole). So cool! They used a bunch of equations from Kipp Thorne's research and plugged them into the special effects software that they wrote for the movie. Once Kipp Thorne saw it, it clarified many things about black holes for him. Yay! There are going to be papers written because of this. I really like when science and research and art inspire one another, so I liked that part of the movie. And I really hope it inspires people to do more research into space and black holes.
