 Spielberg
will direct the film, which is based on actual
scientific research.
The idea for the film was derived from research by
California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
physicist Kip S. Thorne, who is an expert on
relativity.
Thorne is most famous for his controversial theory
that wormholes not only exist, but can be accessed
and used as portals for time travel.
The director was so enamored with Thorne's theories
that he attended a Caltech workshop with the
physicist and other scientists.
Spielberg also brought his 89-year-old father,
Arnold, who is a retired engineer, to the workshop. |
