In the video clip, Keane Thorpe is wearing a crumpled white shirt and a **** coat, standing in front of the blackboard, as if he is teaching at a university, and is facing the "interstellar crossing" about wormholes and black holes. To explain the theoretical knowledge.
"Obviously, the general public now has some misunderstandings about black holes and impulse, mainly because the popularization of theoretical knowledge of physics is relatively slow; at the same time, esoteric theories are only exclusive. It is difficult to consult on the latest advances in quantum mechanics. Time is passed to the public, which also creates some knowledge gaps. This will be an important issue that scientific research and education popularization will need to solve in the future."
Keene still has the unique conversation rhythm of professors and scholars. He seems to be talking to himself, and he seems to be doing science popularization. The dry words need more attention from the audience.
"That's why Christopher and Jonathan approached me and talked about the'Interstellar' project. I showed great interest. I think this is a very good opportunity to show to the general audience: in fact, physics research is also A very interesting thing."
"First of all, we must correct a wrong concept of inertia: indeed, large wormholes are indeed difficult to exist naturally, but this must be viewed from a different perspective, just as large computers do not exist naturally, and do not exist in the natural world. It does not mean that humans cannot be built through science. A sufficiently advanced civilization is possible to build large wormholes and maintain wormholes through “man-made” methods. This is the same principle as a large computer. Sixty years ago, we couldn’t imagine the network at all. Coverage and popularization, but now, look at the era we are in."
"In 2013, two of my colleagues, Maldacena of Princeton University and Susskind of Stanford University wrote a paper that interested audiences can read. In short, they tell In fact, when Christopher was preparing this movie, Maldacena and Suskede had many exchanges, and finally built a physical model of the wormhole for Christopher. , Presented in the movie."
Sitting in front of the computer, William Taylor was completely stunned, staring at the small screen dumbfoundedly. There are too many unfamiliar words in Kip's words, like a series of garbled words, hovering above his head, some understanding I don't understand, but what is certain is that after the permutation and combination, everything begins to dazzle.
William couldn't help holding his forehead and laughed blankly.
Originally, William wanted to support "Interstellar Transition", watching behind-the-scenes highlights, and watching the theoretical framework, so that he could express his support on social networks; now he was at a loss and his thoughts began to drift towards outer space. ——He tried very hard to concentrate, but it was too difficult!
Keane is eloquently explaining the wormhole construction principle conceived by the two physicists. Although he wrote the formula on the blackboard and drew the schematic diagram, he still couldn't understand it.
"Of course, the cost of building and maintaining wormholes is very expensive, because the quantum entanglement pair may lose entanglement in environmental disturbances if you are not paying attention. This also means that smaller wormholes will quickly evaporate in Hawking radiation. Exhausted. This also means that we need powerful enough quantum computing capabilities to perform timely quantum error correction on these entangled pairs. This is why it is difficult to spontaneously form wormholes in the universe, because only a sufficiently advanced civilization can complete it. Keep working."
"I don't know if the audience has noticed a detail: Cooper once mentioned in the movie that wormholes and black holes were built by advanced civilizations later formed by mankind. Maybe this is just a line, but when writing the script, Christopher and Jonathan and I have all gone through repeated scrutiny."
"In fact, this can be seen as the limits and edges of the universe that we have explored based on the existing human knowledge system, and then assuming that in a hundred or five hundred years, the conditions are ripe, these are all achievable, of course Knowledge is always being updated. Perhaps a hundred years later, our research will be different again, but at least in 2014, the theoretical knowledge of "interstellar crossing" is the limit we know."
Keane’s explanation of the wormhole reached a paragraph for the time being, and then the video short film completed the switch, and began to tell how the wormhole in the movie screen evolved from a "theoretical design drawing" to a "real image" on the big screen, and even Leaving the studio, entering the film studio scene, telling how the actors complete the performance——
When Lan Li appeared on the small screen, William was finally relieved, his confused and tense mood relaxed a little, and he began to appreciate Lan Li's working state with relish.
When "Edge of Tomorrow" was officially released, there was a rumor within the crew that Lan Li was the "Prank King". Actors such as Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Glover and others all complained about it. Never provoke Lan Li easily, but regrettably. The thing is, everything is a legend, and they have no chance to see it.
Unexpectedly, they now have the opportunity to truly see the working status of Lan Li. This is definitely a rare and precious image.
"I think it's them." Anne Hathaway is wearing a spacesuit and sitting in a one-to-one spacecraft. The whole picture has no sense of crudeness at all. The real and appropriate environment completely replicates the film picture to the shooting scene, if not Annie's expression showed surprise and astonishment, which almost confuses the difference between reality and film.
William recognized it immediately. This was the plot of the standing ship passing through the wormhole in "Interstellar Crossing." Dr. Brand saw a vague figure in the distorted space. She tried to contact the other party, and then the whole picture appeared. The phenomenon of distortion of light and shadow is definitely a big impact of visual effects.
Then, Annie's eyes were a little dazed, and she stretched out her right hand carefully toward the lens. The fuzzy eyes seemed to be confused, and she unwittingly and uncontrollably leaned her right hand toward the twisted edge, even if she was in the ear There was an anxious and urgent sound of stopping, but she still involuntarily continued to test the past, just like a child in her childhood, curious about the touch of the flame, her parents were trying to persuade her by her ears, but she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers.
Annie stared at her fingertips dumbfounded-at this time, the difference can be distinguished. In the movie, Brand's fingers have begun to be distorted; but in reality, Annie's fingers have not changed at all, completely through Annie Show that kind of shock.
At this moment, a right hand poked out from below the camera, which shocked William. It seemed as if the audience in front of the screen had broken the dimensional wall, but the shock had not been completely released yet. The next second, William couldn't help but laugh.
I saw that the right hand slowly raised the index finger slightly, and then tremblingly probed towards Annie, just like the finger touch in the classic movie "Alien ET", making preparations for communication. The attitude of the movie, which forms an ingenious intertextuality with the plot of the movie——
The later plot proved that the fuzzy figure that Brand saw in the time-distorted image was Cooper! In the distortion of time and space, the two people completed a touch across time and space, and the feeling of trembling was really wonderful.
In the process of watching the movie, this clip of Brand has not yet revealed the answer, and more is just worried about the emergence of unexpected situations; but watching the tidbits at this time, the tremor can't help but come out from the bottom of my heart, causing William to have a feeling. Kind of the urge to go into the cinema again and watch it again.
But why is William so ridiculous?
The reason is that the protruding right hand suddenly lifted the **** slightly, and slightly lifted it together with the index finger, like the tentacles of a cricket, and began to swing up and down to explore - as if looking for a direction or smell Generally, there is no need for too much movement at all, and only relying on the change of hand movement to convey the vivid expression.
"Puff chick." After all, Annie didn't hold back, all the emotional brewing was broken, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, raised her head and laughed loudly, but because she laughed too hard, her nose hadn't been wiped away. It also flowed out, which made Annie extremely embarrassed, "Lan Li!"
"Hahahaha." It really was Lan Li! William couldn't help but burst into laughter along with him.
"Ka!" Nolan's helpless voice came out of the camera, "Lan Li, let's be more serious, what do you think?"
The video of the short film is switched from the camera lens to the camera lens for the crew to take the behind-the-scenes ~www.novelhall.com~ Then you can see Lan Li squatting under the camera like a urchin, riding a stable horse, and wearing a little dress The cumbersome spacesuit stretched out his right hand stupidly.
Noting that the follow-up camera was aimed at him, Lan Li said calmly to the camera, "I am trying to help my colleagues enter the performance state, but obviously, they are not thankful for my contribution at all. I think I have been misunderstood. And hurt, I need to calm down, please turn off the camera temporarily, okay?"
The serious nonsense appearance made the photographer couldn't help but laugh, and even the camera shakes along with it, and Nolan, who is standing not far away, shook his head helplessly, "Then what are you trying to express? What about the effect? Can you explain the details?"
"'Create Adam'! You should know the famous mural by Michelangelo? The mural captures the moment when God gave Adam life with his own power, and this is also true here. Cooper and Brand communicate across time and space. It might not be a kind of spiritual transmission between the two lives across dimensions. At this time, they have already vaguely felt their destined lonely destiny ending. What do you think? You don't think that I am simply imitating the'alien ET', right? This is too easy to understand! Obviously I am trying to give more weight to the characters and stories."
Uh...is that really the case?
