Il y a peu, l'astrophysicien Jean-Pierre Luminet à commencé à publier des articles approfondis sur la réalité scientifique derrière Interstellar (en français, après les avoir écrit en anglais ici). J'apprécie la réflexion qu'a entrainé ce film en amont, et à posteriori. Je n'avais pas lu grand chose à ce sujet, à part des articles sur la prouesse du rendu du trou noir, pourtant pas si incroyable. En effet, je n'aime pas vraiment partir de la fiction pour comprendre la réalité. Je pense que c'est dû au peu de confiance que j'ai envers ma mémoire: si je lis une truc plausible présenté comme vrai j'aurais du mal à me dire que c'est faux après plusieurs jours (bien que ça arrive en science pur aussi, mais moins m'voyez)!
Du coup, c'était aussi pour moi l'occasion de faire une rapide illustration pour me détendre.

I appreciate the thinking the film has created, upstream and afterwards. I had not read much about it, except some articles about the great rendering of the black hole, yet not so incredible. In fact, I don't really like starting from fiction to understand reality. I think this is due to the little confidence I have towards my memory: if I read a plausible thing presented as true it would be hard to think that this is wrong after days (although it happens in pure science too, but less ya' know)!
Then, it was also an opportunity for me to do a quick illustration to relax.
