“Interstellar” A challenge to express black holes based on scientific background

what is the theme of this movie

As a result, ``Interstellar'' has become a movie that cannot be fully understood without a certain level of scientific knowledge. I think the Nolan brothers were aware of this, and instead of running away from trying to appeal to the masses, they approached it head-on.

The theme of this film, as I interpret it, is ``What is necessary for humanity's next step?'' Regarding this, both `` 2001: A Space Odyssey '' (68) and `` Contact '' (1997) provided only vague answers.

This movie shows that the completion of a theory of everything (*3) that integrates the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics will lead to a breakthrough, and the climax scene shows that the answer lies in the singularity of a black hole. That seems to be the case. This allows humans to manipulate gravity to easily send huge structures into space and build new worlds. And by manipulating wormholes, you can freely travel between stars (Interstellar).

*3 As a work that tackles this "theory of everything" head-on, the 3D dome video "The man from the 9th dimension” (16). It's a rare hard science fiction work in Japan, and it's worth seeing.
