Quanten(t)räume: "Interstellar"

The joint project "Quanten(t)räume" is presenting examples of quantum technologies in various events until November 30. We are also showing two films that apply quantum physics in a playful way.

INTERSTELLAR

USA/GBR 2014. D: Christopher Nolan. D: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, Timothée Chalamet, Casey Affleck. 169 min. EnglOmdtU. FSK: 12

Ex-NASA pilot Cooper runs an impoverished farm on a world where growing food is becoming increasingly difficult. Mysterious, ghostly signs lead him to a secret NASA site. He leaves his son and daughter behind for a mission to save humanity: on a journey through a wormhole, he is to search for habitable planets in the depths of space. Time passes much more slowly in his spaceship than on Earth, where his daughter, now grown up, is trying to unite relativity and quantum physics...
Christopher Nolan's film combines science fiction, adventure, thriller and quantum physics - scientifically accompanied by Kip Thorne, astrophysicist and later Nobel Prize winner. INTERSTELLAR is a visionary masterpiece - for the FAZ "the pinnacle of author and director Christopher Nolan's work to date".
