The Science of Interstellar

 Written By: ???  Edited By: ???, ???, ???

     Mankind has been forced to search for another inhabitable planet as the Earth reaches its capacity. Over the years, the Earth has provided resources that have secured our lives on the planet. Yet, human activity has caused great damage to the environment, and it has contributed to the destruction of our ecosystem.  Now it is time to pay the price for putting our planet in such peril by traveling to space. This non-fiction book The Science of Interstellar will take you on a journey to explore the mysteries of the universe.

     The Earth can no longer produce any food due to the loss of its arable land. At this critical moment, a group of courageous astronauts have dedicated themselves to finding a miracle in outer space. Throughout the chapters, you can see the author Kip Thorne, who is also a physicist, illustrating these physical theories in a way that is comprehensible to everyone. This is a brilliant way to help readers enjoy this book, despite having no scientific knowledge. 

     On the downside, even though the author has tried to use plain English to explain the theory that lies in the story, it is still quite difficult for readers to fully understand the narrative logic if they lack scientific knowledge. Furthermore, the book does not explain the complex timeline that was in the movie Interstellar. Those who watched the movie were apt to be confused with the timeline of events. It is true that sometimes we do not need to pay too much attention to small details, but if you are a fan of science fiction, you may find it a bit disappointing. 

     Overall, The Science of Interstellar is a great book to read if you want to untangle the questions you may have after watching the movie Interstellar. Even though some of the content may still seem a bit puzzling, you will notice that this book is full of philosophical ideas once you read it carefully. After reading the book, people may have the desire to rewatch the movie.
