Do not go gentle into that good night，

Old age should burn and rave at close of day；
Rage，rage against the dying of the light...

诺兰新作《星际穿越》（Interstellar）即将于11月12日在中国大陆上映。这部科幻冒险电影，基于知名理论物理学家基普·索恩的黑洞理论，注定又是一部烧脑大片。在准备好钞票去电影院看IMAX的同时，也要做好观影前必备的涨（高）姿（逼）势（格）物理术语学习。


1.Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping.The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole.The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called the event horizon. Although crossing the event horizon has enormous effect on the fate of the object crossing it, it appears to have no locally detectable features. In many ways a black hole acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light.Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature is on the order of billionths of a kelvin for black holes of stellar mass, making it all but impossible to observe.

2.Wormhole

A wormhole, officially known as an Einstein–Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that would fundamentally be a "shortcut" through spacetime. A wormhole is much like a tunnel with two ends, each in separate points in space-time.

3.Warp drive

Warp drive is a hypothetical faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion system in many works, most notably Star Trek. A spacecraft equipped with a warp drive may travel at apparent speeds greater than that of light by many orders of magnitude, while circumventing the relativistic problem of time dilation. In contrast to many other FTL technologies, such as a jump drive, the warp drive does not permit instantaneous travel between two points but involves a measurable passage of time. Neither does it involve a separate realm or dimension like hyperspace, but spacecraft at warp velocity can continue to interact with objects in "normal space". Some of the other fiction in which warp drive technology is featured include: Stars!, EVE Online, Earth and Beyond, StarCraft, DarkSpace, Starship Troopers, Doctor Who, and Star Ocean.

4.Negative mass

In theoretical physics, negative mass is a hypothetical concept of matter whose mass is of opposite sign to the mass of normal matter, e.g. −2 kg. Such matter would violate one or more energy conditions and show some strange properties, stemming from the ambiguity as to whether attraction should refer to force or the oppositely oriented acceleration for negative mass. It is used in certain speculative theories, such as on the construction of wormholes. The closest known real representative of such exotic matter is a region of pseudo-negative pressure density produced by the Casimir effect.

5.String theory

String theory is a set of attempts to model the four known fundamental interactions—gravitation, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force—together in one theory. This approach to resolving the alleged conflict between classical physics and quantum physics seeks to quantize—in other words, describe in terms of elementary units—the one classical force, gravitation, yet also to develop a new quantum field theory of the other three fundamental interactions.
