    Kip Thorne – Consultant, executive producer Development and financing The premise for Interstellar was conceived by the producer Lynda Obst and the theoretical physicist Kip Thorne , who collaborated on the film Contact (1997), and had known each other since Carl Sagan set them up on a blind date.

  8. Given that the physicist Kip Thorne played a major consulting role on this movie and even co-wrote the original script treatment, I would bet that the theory of time travel being assumed was the Novikov self-consistency principle, in which there is only a single self-consistent timeline, with no ability to "change" the past and no branching of ...

    Closed 7 years ago. Improve this question. Let's assume it is possible for a spacecraft to travel at the speed of light (I've read the interstellar book by Kip Thorne, apparently this is theoretically possible if you swing around two black holes)

    physics.stackexchange.com/questions/355588

    Add a comment. 0. Polarization is a vector quantity which is related to the Electric field (also a vector quantity) by some equation. There is a quantity alpha in front of the vector electric field which is a tensor. So to understand what the equation means you should know the difference between a vector and a tensor.
