The Greatest Showman - Chapter 1977

[One thousand nine hundred and forty-two]

In the video clip, Keene Thorpe, wearing a wrinkled white shirt and a ginger jacket, stood in front of the blackboard, as if he was teaching at a university, explaining the “Interstellar” about wormholes and black holes. of theoretical knowledge.

“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 also exclusive, and it is difficult to consult the latest advances in quantum mechanics. Time is passed on to the public, which also creates some gaps in knowledge, which will be an important issue that needs to be solved in the future for scientific research and education popularization.”

Keane still carried the rhythm of conversations unique to professors and scholars, and seemed to be self-conscious. Talking to himself, it seems to be popular science, and the dry words need more attention from the audience.

“That’s why when Christopher and Jonathan came to me and talked about the ‘Interstellar’ project, I expressed great interest, and I think this is a very good opportunity to show the general audience: In fact, physics research is also A very interesting thing.”

“First of all, we have to correct a wrong inertial concept: it is true that large wormholes are indeed difficult to exist naturally, but this must be viewed from a different perspective, as if large computers do not exist naturally either. In the same way, the fact that it does not exist in the natural world does not mean that humans cannot build it through science. It is possible for a sufficiently advanced civilization to build and maintain large wormholes through ‘artificial’ means, which is the same as the principle of large computers. Sixty years Years ago, we could not have imagined the coverage and pervasiveness of the Internet, but now, look at the times we live in.”

“In 2013, two of my colleagues, Maldacena of Princeton University and Sass of Stanford University, Susskind wrote a paper that interested audiences can read, and in short, they describe a principled approach to how to build large wormholes. In fact, when Christopher was working on the film, I and I Maldacena and Saskade have communicated many times, and finally built a physical model of the wormhole for Christopher, which was presented in the movie.”

William Taylor, who was sitting in front of the computer, was completely stunned, staring at the small screen dumbfoundedly. There were too many unfamiliar words in Kip’s words, like a series of garbled characters, hovering above his head, some understand some I don’t understand, but what is certain is that after the arrangement and combination, everything starts to be dazzling.

William couldn’t help but help his forehead, and laughed dumbly.

Originally, William wanted to support “Interstellar”, watch the behind-the-scenes footage, and watch the theoretical framework, so that he could express his support on social networks; now he is at a loss, and his thoughts can’t help but start drifting toward outer space – He tried very, very hard to concentrate, but it was so hard!

Keane was 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, wormholes are very expensive to build and maintain, because the entangled pair may lose their entanglement relationship in the disturbance of the environment if they are not careful, which also means that the smaller wormholes will evaporate quickly in Hawking radiation. This also means that we need powerful enough quantum computing power to perform timely quantum error correction on these entangled pairs, which is why it is difficult for wormholes to spontaneously form in the universe, because only a sufficiently advanced civilization can do it Maintain the job.”

“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 in writing When we wrote the script, Christopher, Jonathan and I went through repeated deliberation.”

“Actually, this can be seen as the limit and edge of the universe that we have explored based on the existing human knowledge system, and then assume that in a hundred or five years A hundred years later, when the conditions are ripe, these are all achievable. Of course, knowledge is always updated. Maybe a hundred years later, our research will be different, but at least in 2014, ‘interstellar travel’ theoretical knowledge is the limit of what we know.”

Keane’s explanation of the wormhole temporarily came to a paragraph, and then the video clip 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 and entering the set of the film, telling how the actors performed their performances –

when Renly appeared on the small screen, William was finally relieved, and his confused and tense emotions relaxed a little. After coming down, he began to appreciate Renly’s work status with gusto.

When “Edge of Tomorrow” was officially released, there were rumors within the crew that Renly was the “big devil of mischief”. Actors such as Jennifer Lawrence and Donald Glover all complained that Renly should not be easily provoked, but unfortunately The thing is, everything is a legend, and they have no chance to see it.

Unexpectedly, they now have the opportunity to see Renly in real working condition, 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. The whole picture has no sense of simplicity at all. The real and appropriate environment completely replicates the movie picture to the shooting scene. If not Annie’s expression showed surprise and astonishment, almost confusing the difference between reality and film.

William recognized it immediately. This is the plot of the Standup passing through the wormhole in “Interstellar”. Dr. Brand saw a blurred figure in the distorted space. She tried to make contact with the other party, and then the whole picture appeared. The phenomenon of light and shadow distortion is definitely a major impact on the visual effect.

Then, Annie’s eyes became a little dazed, and she carefully stretched out her right hand towards the camera. The blurred eyes seemed to be confused, and unconsciously and uncontrollably, she reached over to the edge of the twist with her right hand, even if it was close to her ear. There was an anxious and urgent sound of stopping, but she couldn’t help but continue to probe the past, just like a child in childhood, curious about the touch of the flame, her parents persuaded her in her ear, but she couldn’t help but stretch out her finger.

Annie stared at her fingertips in a stunned manner – at this point, the difference can be distinguished. In the movie, Brand’s fingers began to distort; but in reality, Annie’s fingers still did not change, completely through Annie performance to show that shock.

At this moment, a right hand came 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 shock had not been fully released, the next second, William couldn’t help laughing.

I saw that the right hand slowly raised the index finger a little, and then probed towards Annie with a slight trembling, just like the fingers in the classic movie “Alien ET”, ready to communicate. , which formed an ingenious intertextuality with the plot of the movie –

the later plot proved that the blurred figure that Brand saw in the time-space-distorted image was Cooper!

In the distortion of time and space, the two people completed a touch that spanned time and space. The trembling feeling is really wonderful.

In the process of watching the movie, this clip of Brand has not yet revealed the answer, and is more worried about the appearance of unexpected situations; but watching the footage at this time, the trembling can not help but emerge from the bottom of my heart, which makes William have a feeling. The urge to walk into the cinema again and watch it again.

But why is William smiling?

The reason is that the protruding right hand suddenly raised the middle finger slightly, and raised it slightly together with the index finger, just like the tentacles of a cricket, and began to sway up and down to explore – as if looking for a direction or smell. In general, there is no need for too many movements at all, and the vivid demeanor is conveyed only by the changes of hand movements.

“Pfft.” After all, Annie couldn’t hold back. All her emotions were brewing. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and raised her head to laugh loudly. In the end, she laughed so hard that her nose blew before her tears were dried. It also leaked out, which made Annie suddenly become extremely embarrassed, “Renly!”

“Hahahaha.” Sure enough, it was Renly!

William couldn’t help but burst out laughing along with him.

“Ka!” Nolan’s helpless voice came from outside the camera

. “Renly, let’s be serious, what do you think?”

sonicmtl.

com Then you can see Renly crouching under the camera like a urchin, with steady horse steps, wearing a slightly bulky spacesuit, and stretched out his right hand foolishly.

Noticing that the follow-up camera was aimed at him, Renly said to the camera with a calm face, “I’m trying to help my colleagues get into acting, but obviously they don’t appreciate my efforts at all, and I think I’ve been misunderstood. And hurt, I need to calm down, please turn off the camera

for now Nolan shook his head helplessly, “So what kind of effect are you trying to express? Can you explain the details?”

“‘Creation of Adam’! You should know about the famous fresco by Michelangelo. Right? The mural captures the moment when God used his own power to give Adam vitality, and this is also the case here. Cooper and Brand’s communication across time and space is probably a spiritual transmission of two lives across dimensions. At this time, they have already fainted I had a premonition that I was doomed to be lonely, what do you think? You wouldn’t think I was simply imitating ‘Alien ET’? This is too easy to understand! Obviously I’m trying to give more weight to the characters and the story ”

Uh…is that really true?
