CLIPS on Instagram: "⏳ Interesting fact: Interstellar (2014) — Director Christopher Nolan wanted the science to be as accurate as possible, so he hired Nobel Prize-winning physicist Kip Thorne as a consultant. Thorne provided the actual mathematical equations used to render the “Gargantua” black hole, which was so accurate that it actually led to new scientific discoveries about how light behaves around a black hole’s event horizon. The “TARS” and “CASE” robots were not CGI; they were physical p

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be even weirder than we thought.

Galaxies on Instagram: "The black hole in Interstellar — Gargantua — is famous because it wasn’t just a CGI guess. The filmmakers actually built it from real physics. Christopher Nolan brought in Nobel-winning physicist Kip Thorne to make sure the visuals were grounded in general relativity. The VFX team at Double Negative fed Einstein’s equations into a custom rendering engine so the computer would simulate how light actually bends around a spinning black hole. Instead of drawing a ring, they m
