Science meets the big screen this week, with our host Umapagan Ampikaipagan bringing astrophysicist Kip Thorne onto the show to talk about about his life, his work, and the role he played in helping create the most accurate simulation ever of what a black hole would look in box office hit Interstellar. Thorne’s math guided the visual effects, which took 30 people and thousands of computers to get right. Catch that conversation on tonight’s episode of Eureka!
