1942 Laughing and crying
In the video, Keane Thorpe wears a crumpled white shirt and a ginger coat, standing in front of the blackboard, as if he is teaching at a university, explaining the theoretical knowledge of "Interstellar" about wormholes and black holes.
"Obviously, there are some misunderstandings about black holes and impulses among the general public, mainly because the popularization of theoretical knowledge in physics is relatively slow; at the same time, esoteric theories are only exclusive, and it is difficult to convey the latest advances in quantum mechanics to the public in the first time, which also creates some gaps in knowledge, which will be an important problem that needs to be solved in the future in scientific research and education. β
Keane still has the rhythm of conversation peculiar to professors and scholars, as if he is talking to himself, and seems to be in the process of popularizing science, and the dry words need more attention from the audience.
"That's why when Christopher and Jonathan approached me and talked about Interstellar, I showed a lot of interest, and I thought it was a great opportunity to show the general audience that physics is a very interesting thing. β
"First of all, we must correct a misconception of inertia: it is true that large wormholes are indeed difficult to exist naturally, but this must be viewed from a different perspective, just as mainframe computers do not exist naturally, and the fact that they do not exist in the natural world does not mean that humans cannot build them through science, and it is possible for a sufficiently advanced civilization to build and maintain large wormholes through 'artificial' methods, which is the same as the principle of large-scale computers. Sixty years ago, we couldn't have imagined the coverage and ubiquity of the Internet, but now, look at the times we live in. β
"In 2013, two of my colleagues, Maldacena of Princeton University and Susskind of Stanford University, wrote a paper that interested audiences could read, in simple terms, about how to build large wormholes in principle. In fact, when Christopher was preparing for this film, I had many exchanges with Mardashena and Suskaide, and finally built a physical model of the wormhole for Christopher, which was presented in the movie. β
Sitting in front of the computer, William Taylor was completely confused, staring blankly at the small screen, Kip's words really had too many unfamiliar words, like a series of garbled characters, hovering and flying overhead, some understood and some did not, but it was certain that after the permutations and combinations, everything began to be dazzling.
William couldn't help but hold his forehead and laughed dumbly.
Originally, William wanted to support Interstellar, watch the behind-the-scenes footage, and also watch the theoretical structure, so that he could express his support on social networks, but now he was at a loss, and his mind couldn't help but drift towards outer space - he tried very, very hard to concentrate, but it was too difficult!
Keane was gushing about the principles of wormhole construction that the two physicists had conceived, and although he wrote the formulas on the blackboard and drew the schematics, he ...... Still can't read it.
"Of course, building and maintaining wormholes is very expensive, because the slightest carelessness of quantum entanglement pairs can lose entanglement in environmental disturbances, which also means that smaller wormholes will quickly evaporate in Hawking radiation. This also means that we need strong enough quantum computing power to perform quantum error correction on these entangled pairs in a timely manner, which is why it is very difficult for wormholes to form spontaneously in the universe, because only sufficiently advanced civilizations can complete the maintenance work. β
"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 formed by humans themselves, maybe this is just a line, but when writing the script, Christopher and Jonathan and I have gone through repeated deliberations. β
"Actually, this can be seen as the limit and edge of the universe that we have explored on the existing knowledge system of human beings, and then assuming that in a hundred or five hundred years, the conditions are ripe, these are all achievable, of course, knowledge is always constantly updated, maybe a hundred years later, our research will be different, but at least in 2014, the theoretical knowledge of 'interstellar' is the limit of what we know. β
Keane's explanation of the wormhole came to an end for the time being, and then the video clip was switched, 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 left the studio and entered the film's studio to tell how the actors completed the performance-
When Lan Li appeared on the small screen, William was finally relieved, his confused and tense emotions relaxed slightly, and he began to appreciate Lan Li's work with relish.
When "Edge of Tomorrow" was officially released, there were rumors within the crew that Lan Li was the "prank king", Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Glover and other actors all complained that they should never provoke Lan Li easily, but unfortunately, everything is a legend, and they have no chance to see it.
Surprisingly, they now have the opportunity to see Lan Li at work in real life, which is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime precious image.
"I think it's them. "Anne Hathaway is wearing a spacesuit and sitting in a one-to-one spaceship, and the whole picture has no sense of shabby at all, and the real and appropriate environment completely replicates the film scene on the set, if it were not for Anne's expression of surprise and consternation, it would almost confuse the difference between reality and film.
William immediately recognized that this was the plot of the Standing Ship passing through a wormhole in "Interstellar", Dr. Brand saw a blurry figure in the warped space, she tried to make contact with the other party, and then the whole picture appeared to be distorted by light and shadow, which was definitely a big visual impact.
Then, Anne's eyes were a little trance-like, and she cautiously stretched out her right hand in the direction of the camera, the blurred eyes seemed to be confused, and unconsciously and uncontrollably leaned towards the distorted edge with her right hand, even though there was an anxious and urgent stop in her ears, but she still involuntarily continued to test the past, just like a childhood child, curious about the touch of the flame, her parents dissuaded in her ear, but she still couldn't help but stretch out her finger.
Anne stared at her fingertips in amazement - the difference could be distinguished, in the movie, Brand's fingers began to twist, but in reality, Anne's fingers still did not change, and the shock was completely presented through Anne's performance.
At this moment, a right hand poked out from under the camera, which startled William, it looked as if the audience in front of the screen had broken the dimensional wall, but the fright had not had time to be fully released, and the next second, William couldn't help laughing.
I saw that the right hand slowly raised the index finger slightly, and then probed towards Anne with a slight tremble, as if the fingers in the classic movie "Alien ET" touched, making a gesture of preparing to communicate, which formed a clever intertextuality with the plot of the movie-
The later plot proves that the blurred figure that Brand sees in the time-distorted image is Cooper! The two people have completed a touch across time and space in the distortion of time and space, and the trembling feeling is really wonderful.
In the process of watching the movie, the answer to this clip of Brand has not yet been revealed, and he is more worried about the unexpected, but at this time, watching the tidbits, the shiver can't help but come out of the depths of his heart, making William have an urge to go into the cinema again and watch it again.
But why did William laugh?
The reason is that the right hand that sticks out suddenly raises the middle finger slightly, and raises it slightly with the index finger, like the tentacles of a cricket, and begins to sway up and down to exploreβas if looking for a direction or smell, without too much movement at all, just relying on the change of hand movements to convey the vivid demeanor.
"Poof. Anne didn't hold back after all, all the emotions brewed in ruin, raised her hand to cover her mouth, raised her head and laughed loudly, but because she laughed too much, the tears had not been wiped dry, and the snot also flowed out, which made Anne suddenly become extremely embarrassed, "Lan Li!"
"Hahahaha. William couldn't help but laugh along.
"Ka!" Nolan's helpless voice came from outside the camera, "Lan Li, let's be serious, what do you think?"
The footage cuts from the camera lens to the camera lens of the crew following the footage, and then Lan Li can be seen crouching under the camera like a naughty child, with a steady horse step, wearing a slightly bulky spacesuit, and stupidly stretching out her right hand.
Noticing that the camera was pointed at him, Lan Li said calmly to the camera, "I'm trying to help my colleagues get into the performance state, but obviously, they don't appreciate my efforts at all, I feel that I have been misunderstood and hurt, I need to calm down, please turn off the camera for a while, okay?"
The serious nonsense appearance made the photographer can't help but laugh, and even the camera shook with him, and Nolan, who was standing not far away, shook his head helplessly, "So what kind of effect are you trying to express? Can you explain the specific details?"
Michelangelo's famous fresco, you should know, right? The mural captures the moment when God gave Adam life with his own power, and the same is true here, the communication between Cooper and Brand across time and space is not a kind of spiritual transmission between two lives across dimensions, at this time they have a faint premonition of their doomed fate to be alone, do you think? You don't think I'm simply imitating 'Alien ET'? It's too easy to understand! Obviously I'm trying to give more weight to the characters and the story. β
Belch...... Is that really the case?
