Christopher Nolan is one of the most important directors of his time, and may even be the most prominent director of his generation. But there is an element of the style of the British director who, at times, can make his films look a little functional and cold. As Richard Brody wrote in his Newuork Openheimer overview, "Nolan reduces his scenes to fit as a jigsaw, and details that don't fit - contradictions, subtleties, even a little random features - to omit (...) What remains is a movie of yes It is resolved than to live. "

However, with "among the 2014", the director proved that he can balance his functional style of "jigsaw" with a real emotional one. As such, "Among the Secret" remains the emotional masterpiece of NolanAnd it's about his very best movie. What makes a real miracle is that Nolan has managed to create a truly moving emotional drama, which is also going to be a spectacular scientific EP, which is even more fixed to scientific accuracy than any of his previous projects.

Also impressive is the fact that while Nolan's commitment to scientific realism in "amongerstwe" may seem like a way to set restrictions on his blockbuster for galaxy science, he actually made it for some of the most memorable spectacles of the film. From Miller's planet with its huge waves of tidal to the fictional supermassive black hole Gargantua, Nolan's film is packed with seemingly fantastic elements that are actually grounded in true science. How accurate is the "amongERStwater" in that regard? Well, as it turns out, a lot.

Most Christopher Nolan fans are likely to know that the director has hired the theoretical physicist Kip Thorn to consult "among the respective". But those fans may not understand how invested in the production of the film Thorn. While Nolan took a huge scientific swing with "Interstellar", The presence of a physicist who won the Nobel Prize, ensure that things never get Also away removed from reality. To Neil de Gras Tyson Startalk Podcast, the host tried to catch Thorn on several film -related scientific points, but the physicist had an answer to all of them.

First, the premise of the "among the respect" was based on a real scientific opportunity. The film revolves around humanity's search for a new host planet, as they face Earth extinction because of the cons. This is what drives the trip of Josephosef Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) through the universe to colonize a new planet. But as Tyson put on Thorn, "no matter what it takes to find another country, it seems more effort than just telling biologists (on) to come up with a serum that can Fix agricultural crops. "

Thorn had an answer, revealing that the directors had collected the "best biologists" who were "experts on these types of things" and after three to four hours of conversation, none of them could have been the reason why the "wicked generalized blow" would not happen. In Thorn's words, "it's something biologists have never seen, but they can't turn it off." If there was such a thing, developing a "serum", as Tyson suggests, which can cure any kind of cultures would not be in question.

This approach to the premise of "amongerstvesn" is very indicative of how Nolan and Co. He came close to the whole movie, with Thorne told Tyson, "unlike almost every other movie after these themes were checked by the best experts in the world." Tyson declared Moonfall at least a scientifically accurate scientific film, But he could not find any problems with the accuracy of "among the outline", which speaks of the level of dedication of Nolan and Thorn.

Review of crops may not look like the most famous element of "amongerstves", so what about something that looks a little more science fiction - how, say, a water planet with a giant tsunami? Miller's planet is the first planet in the system orbiting the black hole and hosts the Cup and its team when they land on the surface to investigate. However, they are quickly forced to escape when a huge wave of influx appears on the horizon. The pure size of the wave itself is unlike everything you would ever see on Earth, but is it completely unrealistic to think that such a thing can exist on a distant planet?

According to Kip Thorn, Miller's planet wave actually has a rather strong foundation in a scientific fact. The physicist revealed to the Startalk podcast that he was based on a kind of wave called a lonely wave, discovered by maritime architect Johnon Scott Russell in 1834. Russell observed a wave form after the canal channel entered underwater obstruction and noticed he maintained his form all the time he followed him on horses. This is the type of wave shown in "Among the Second", although even Thorn recognizes that the size of the version in the film is "exaggerated".

Another aspect of Miller's planet sequence is the extreme time of expanding the surface of the world. One hour on the planet is seven years up in the spacecraft of endurance that orbites the planet. This is also a science -based, with Thorn, including his calculations in the book "Science for Among the Interst Head". According to the physicist, Nolan actually asked for a scientific explanation that would allow him to show such time of dilation, encouraging Thorn to perform the relevant calculations. Physicist hardly Being "amazed" to discover that it is actually possible for the planet to be close to a black hole, as much as the film needed without that planet falling into the black hole itself - that is, if the black hole turns at a certain speed. This also allowed him to justify the extreme time dilation of the planet of Miller, which is so close to the Gargantua that the distortions of the gravity of the black hole create time differences between the surface of the planet and it is orbit. But what about the black hole itself?

If you needed more convincingly that "among theerst West" is one of the most eager scientific films ever made, as for the fact that Christopher Nolan and Kip Thorn have exactly made the look of a black hole without seeing. "Among With Gargantua, the giant cosmic object in which it is invested in the course of time Completion of "amongerstved". In 2019, five years after the film debuted, Theujork Times He posted the first picture of a black hole, and looked incredibly similar to that based on the forecasts of Kip Thorn from the film. Actually, as Nolan recalls recently Fuck youThe director, in fact, called Thorn after the picture was released, saying, "It is good that you were right."

However, certain freedoms were taken when it comes to traveling the pile into the black hole, however. While these cosmic objects remain largely mysterious (closest to our planet is about 1,500 light years), we have a pretty good idea of ​​what can happen if a human attempt to cross the threshold known as the event horizon . Black hole. With black holes with sthes-mass, the human being would be almost immediately spaghed, a process that involves stretching out due to the difference in the gravitational force between the head and the legs. But in supermassive black holes, such as Gargantua, scientists think spagethification will not happen immediately, and that the individual can theoretically cross the horizon of the event. Would there be tesseract inside with Matthew McConaughey hovering around? Almost certainly not. But since no one really knows what the interior of the black hole would be, there is always a possibility ...

These are just some things that make the commitment of scientific authenticity in the "among the" among the "clear" clear. Also, a note is the cylindrical spacecraft used to transport people through the galaxy, which are based on the true designs of the physicist Arderard K O'Neal. Although it is recent Research Suggested showing the worm in "Among the Interst Head" is incorrect, for the most part the film uses real science to give some of its most prominent fantastic elements.
