Interstellar should be shown to Students in Schools during Astrophysics Class

A group of scientists has stated in an article for the American Journal of Physics that Hollywood movie Interstellar should be shown in schools during the class on astrophysics.

Scientists said that the movie is different from others because it has shown correct science. The movie has remained trued when it came to using mathematics and simulations in order to depict a massive black hole and a wormhole.

The movie can help students understand the theory of relativity and exploration of wormholes. The movie examines the way gravity arises from different massive objects warning space and time. Dr. David Jackson, who printed the paper in the AJP said that the physics shown in the movie has been carefully reviewed by experts and have been found to be accurate.

It is considered that the accuracy level of the film will encourage teachers in physics class to show the movie to their students, so they can better understand general relativity. "As we wrote this paper, we became more and more enthusiastic about the educational opportunities provided by our Interstellar experience", wrote the team.

Movie's director Christopher Nolan teamed up with Kip Thorne, a theoretical physics professor from the California Institute of Technology, so that the movie's science should be as real as possible. In the movie, attention was on representing a super massive black hole and a wormhole connecting the solar system to a different galaxy.

Nolan affirmed that scientific accuracy in the movie has helped him to become a better storyteller for Interstellar.
