Here is the official synopsis although they are keeping a lot of the plot points under wraps
A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.
Really nice teaser and monologue! Can't wait till we get a full trailer with some real footage! I know a lot of people love the Batman trilogy, which are good movies, but I just love the Nolan Bros other stuff SO much more (Momentum, The Prestige, Inception) that I can only imagine that this will be on par with those films!
And just to add it's based on the theoretical work of Physicists, Kip Throne:
"Kip Stephen Thorne (born June 1, 1940) is an American theoretical physicist, known for his prolific contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics and for having trained a generation of scientists. A longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking andCarl Sagan, he was the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) until 2009[1] and one of the world’s leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. He continues to do scientific research and is also writing a film.
Thorne's research has principally focused on relativistic astrophysics and gravitation physics, with emphasis on relativistic stars, black holes and especially gravitational waves. He is perhaps best known to the public for his controversial theory that wormholes can conceivably be used for time travel. However, Thorne's scientific contributions, which center on the general nature of space, time, andgravity, span the full range of topics in general relativity.
Thorne was one of the first people to conduct scientific research on whether the laws of physics permit space and time to be multiply connected (can there exist classical,traversable wormholes and "time machines"?). With Sung-Won Kim, Thorne identified a universal physical mechanism (the explosive growth of vacuum polarization of quantum fields), that may always prevent spacetime from developing closed timelike curves (i.e., prevent "backward time travel"). With Mike Morris and Ulvi Yurtsever he showed that traversable Lorentzian wormholes can exist in the structure of spacetime only if they are threaded by quantum fields in quantum states that violate the averaged null energy condition (i.e. have negative renormalized energy spread over a sufficiently large region). This has triggered research to explore the ability of quantum fields to possess such extended negative energy. Recent calculations by Thorne indicate that simple masses passing through traversable wormholes could never engender paradoxes – there are no initial conditions that lead to paradox once time travel is introduced. If his results can be generalised, they would suggest that none of the supposed paradoxes formulated in time travel stories can actually be formulated at a precise physical level: that is, that any situation in a time travel story turns out to permit many consistent solutions."

But the actual details of The Nolan Brother's is being kept under wraps!
Perhaps, but I feel certain this film will do it in an interesting way. Momentum, The Prestige, and Inception are all about "perception of reality" and ultimately challenges the definition of existence and/or identity. I don't think this will be any different and I look forward to how he uses Kip's understanding of time travel to his advantages to tell this story...
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I really dont get what this movie is about, but im exited to see it!

Meh. This is pretty underwhelming. Wormholes as a mean of time travel are so stale.

ReplyDeleteAh thanks, great read
ReplyDeleteSure! Wikipedia has become a really nice place to get information!
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe some solaris kinda thing.
