Black Hole : Interstellar Movie VS Real Image  

So what I’m understanding is that we need to get astronomers more IMAX cameras.

Scientists were unable to give a perfect picture of Black hole until the movie Interstellar came...

The fact that they nailed what a black hole looks like before we even knew what they looked like is insane, we just knew what they did as a theory at the time.

Engineers be like Interstellar : Front view. M 87 : Top view.

Ok. Good. So we've nailed black hole accretion disk physics. Now it's time to make TARS - the robot science buddy, real. Be honest: We all want one.

Props to the interstellar cameraman for going into space recording the black hole and actually went inside black hole to record the actor!

Interstellar is so accurate

Me: interstellar was launched in 2014 but this image was up in 2019. Professor: Wha-

Soooo… he basically got it right. To quote Ben Kenobi in Return of the Jedi, “what I told you is true… from a certain POINT OF VIEW.” Yes pun is absolutely intended 😉

To people who's wandering what is the music that he used in this short is : "Art of Silence"

they spent 100 hours for 1 second of black hole moment, they weren't joking when they made this in the movie. Respect to the scientists and to the movie makers

Christopher Nolan is genius

I already knew this. But this is still the best youtube short that I've ever seen.

Interstellar is a masterpiece. Im gonna make my kids Study science just to understand this movie to make them watch and let them feel how i felt when i watched the 4 th time

Christopher Nolan created a star pushed it to it's chandrashekhar limit and created a Black hole all by himself, why? Because he didn't wanted to use CGI

The people that worked on that film were brilliant. From the physicists that helped to the people that worked special effects, they all made this movie a masterpiece.

it's cuz for interstellar, the movie has high quality cameras and angeled differently edit: nerd moment 🤓🤓

Now, before any of you go straight to the comments and say "it's just a movie CGI": The “Interstellar” black hole was created using a new CGI rendering software that was based on theoretical equations provided by Kip Thorne and a group of researchers. Kip Thorne is a professor of theoretical physics emeritus at caltech, a noble laureate in physics, and also wrote several bestselling books about black holes as the executive producer AND the movie's science advisor. led to many ACTUAL scientific research papers being published on supermassive black holes in international journals.

They made a black hole before we ever got a picture of one

The black hole in interstellar is a visualization because in 2014 there were no picture of black hole captured. Hats off to Christopher Nolan for this imagination 🙌🙏

Interstellar was such as a masterpiece I had to watch it several times to understand the concept of black hole and the theory of relativity.

Fun fact, interstellar actually got every got it right. I recommend the video on this by veritassium titled how did we capture this image of blackhole

When you get one of the best physicists alive for the movie, you will absolutely get it right.

This is further truth that Interstellar was made in the future 😌

This makes me so happy. Great work sir Kip Thorn. I am really greatful for your work. Interstellar (2014) has to be the best experience of my life.

This so freaking important! What if the other side of a black hole also exist like shown in the movie?

Well because for the movie they actually flew Matthew McConaughey in the crew out to the blackole...

Just Christopher Nolan things ❤

Christopher Nolan is not a director. He is scientist who chose the profession as director to show world how black hole looks

Tee thing is that Interstellar (2014) was made before a blackhole was even captured (2019) , and somehow they got it right. So it's not just accurate but it's better than it should be

The reason of one side being brighter than the other is because of the dopler effect:- The speed of the matter that is coming towards us is very fast and hence it also shines very brightly but, As it moves further from us , it appears slower and hence, Darker and less shiny. It is also because the light travels around the disk . Due to light being bent . The light over the event horizon is actually the plate behind the balck hole and it will appear slower as it travelling a further distance than being shown. When the light again.. exits the back side it appears faster but it is not faster because it travelling in the same speed but the transition from bigger distance to normal distance. Time is inversely proportional to speed(time = 1/S) (Bigger distance = More time) (More time = Slower speed) 'I would like to mention that it is travelling the same distance but its being bent' Same as it exits our front plate Since it has traveled constant distance but the light is being bent and gets slower from our perspective . (Please dont judge on my grammer, as i am still in school and i still have very limited knowledge. Most of this was based of my intuition)

Fun fact: this black hole was captured on event horizon telescope and this telescope doesn't work like camera. It uses radio waves to get through all dust and stars on its way and focuses on the main object only like black hole.

Just one thing "respect the camera man who survived the blackhule"

Christopher nolan sent cameramen to space to film a black hole, he also used a real atomic bomb for his latest movie oppenheimer. That’s why his movies are legendary 😅

Interstellr's camera man is the real goat 😎😂

give the cameraman a raise

It's so mind blowing that before 2019, we didn't really know what a black hole actually looked like...but we had lots of theories.....and this movie came out 5 years before the first image..... The fact that they found out correctly what a black hole looks like with just math 5 years ago is just 🤯🤯🤯🤯

What's the background music?

The black hole was so scientifically accurate it took approx 100 hours to render each frame in the physics and VFX engine. Meaning every second onscreen took approx 100 days to render the final copy...

It’s a bit blurry just clean your satellite next time please

2014: Christopher Nolan:Using What we theorize I will use that information to construct a theoretical black hole I’ll probably get it wrong anyway 2019: What do you mean I got that right?

The black hole shown in the movie was actually very accurate as the we got to see the first image of a black hole in 2019, 5 years after the movie was released. Also, the black hole scene we see in the movie, each second of that scene took 100 days to render in the vfx engine

For anyone who wonders : no they did not capture the black hole actually. They used highly powerful 30 plus computers and 100 plus hours to create a high quality visual image of a black hole. Also after some time scientist who researched this subject appreciated nolen because his depiction of black holes was not accurate but was really close

I figured that’s what it was. If you look at Hubble photographs of M87’s galactic core, it has a relativistic jet that’s pointed almost directly at Earth. So technically, we’re looking at one of the poles of M87’s black hole, not its equatorial region.

Absolutely stunning. Dr Kip Thorne is a genius.

smoothest transitions ever 😇

Sudarshan Chakra 💫

Woow! Hes a true scientist... INTERSTELLAR is a film.. and anything can be explain when is just a computer generated.. or does real life takes after the movies or the other way around?

Cameraman never dies😂

So, "Interstellar" has, officially, become a cult film. I guess it has been for some time now.

That’s next level designing

bro the director looks like the guy who says "waltuh."

Guys black hole in rl has those rings to but it’s rl rare cause when a planet or a star get to black hole it crashes it with ur strings gravity so fast that it melts it in to plasma and makes those ring

Back in 2000s I talked to my geography teacher about black hole and he was telling me that it was only fantasy from movies.

the difference is that the film addresses a general perspective, showing a black hole from different angles (front view), while the photo taken by James Webb appears to be from just a single angle (kind of like this "top" view of a black hole)

The script of interstellar was written after taking the opinion of Physicists about how things might work near a black hole. The shape of a black hole was predicted way before the picture was taken. The picture in 2019 confirmed that the predicted shape was correct.

this is one of the most mind blowing videos ever

How did they not know this already? So obvious its from different angle.

Unpopular fact: The black hole in interstellar was an actual research joint between the visuals crew and scientists an actual resulted in a published research document that can be used for space exploration😁😁😁😁

Reality is Reality Movie is Movie

The last one when he moved the camera up I was totally amazed.

the director actually had physicists calculate stuff and predict what a blackhole would look like, and this was done way before the first blackhole was discovered jeez.

I’ve always thought black holes were confirmed and worm holes were theory, why are people saying black holes were theory until now??

Thanks to the cameraman that he went near and shot the black hole image with 800k resolution.

Means nolan was the first scientist who showed us real picture of black hole

Mannnn, people aren't to bright....and it scares me because I'm a person too

Kip Thorne should get more credits for his visualisation for this movie. Without his help, interstellar would just be like a fantasy movie with no scientific explanation.

I thought the crossbar would always be there because the black hole is bending space it wouldn't matter from what angle

for people wondering interstellar was released in 2014 and the picture of black hole was clicked in 2019

Jesse we need to make black holes

So it's the angle of the photo. Interstellar image was side view and real image is top view..

Understand that it would be invisible to the naked eye. We cannot see black holes and the image is a representation of what their shape is like, but they would be invisible to our eyes.

donot question mr. nolan he is way ahead of our thinking level

if only this was how everybody saw me presenting my presentation in front of class.

Walter White really aged well

Not only is the resolution one reason why they look different, but Interstellar also skips a few things like red/blue shift, doppler effect, etc. But these are very minor effects that affect the color and opacity of certain regions of the accretion disk and areas around the black hole. The camera also took the image without color, so the colors of the black hole were chosen by the team processing the black hole pictures. This means that the colors of the two black holes will not match up even with red and blue shift accounted for.

Black hole actually looks like London underground logo.

Where can this entire lecture be found?

Now I understand. What an awesome video 💯. Thanks uploader 👊🏽

I guess the photo of M87 must have been taken from the top view angle due to which its accretion disk is inclined to one side.. Its obvious nobody will ever see the blackhole practically... so this theory given by him is sure enough true....

The reason is Christopher Nolan’s depiction of a black hole wasn’t 100% accurate but was pretty close. Interstellar came out in 2014 and that photo of that black hole was discovered in 2019.

It’s crazy to think that other civilizations ect. Probably don’t even know what a telescope is or even thought of inventing one. Let’s just sit and appreciate how we get to see our universe and other galaxies and planets when other civilizations dont.

Interstellar is very accurate

The Vertical disk is actually the horizontal disk. The light from the back side of the horizontal disk travels in a curved path around the black hole right to our eyes What appears to be a vertical disk is actually the side of the horizontal disk that hidden behind the black hole

So the movie was spot on, impressive

Waltuh, put your black hole away, Waltuh

Meanwhile ramanujan wrote the equations for black holes when there was no concept and theory of black hole.

It came out in 2014 that’s why

So in other words, they got it spot on before the actual image was captured. Just fascinating.

Its because they couldnt capture a good image of the blackhole, they would need a super telescope to do it. And in interstellar the blackhole is bending the light.

“by tilting the interstellar black hole… lets show the public we finally got a picture of the real black hole!”

The real question is... *how did Interstellar make the black hole so realistic, even before the first official image was taken?* Ok, I get it. Math in a program gives black hole. You can stop now.

Before I ever watched interstellar I watched a documentary about black holes that helped you understand them by flying you into one and they literally showed it to look like how interstellar made it look like and explained why everything looks like the way it does as you go deeper into it. Interstellar did not discover what black holes are people. Scientists have understood black holes way before interstellar came out.

Even the music was shocked

Wait.. that black hole is kinda pointed at us??? If that decides to let off steam (gamma waves not really steam but you get the picture) are we safe???

The camera man from interstellar has seen some sh!t

My favourite movie interstellar...
