Recording of the lecture by Jean-Pierre Luminet, Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS, Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory, and Corresponding Member of the AAE, held at the José Cabanis Media Library on April 28, 2026.
A large part of the plot of the famous science-fiction film Interstellar (2014) features several aspects of Einstein’s theory and its extensions: wormholes, black holes, distortions of space and time, string theory, unification of physics. In this lecture, which follows the film script step by step, all these astrophysical themes are deciphered one by one with rigor and clarity. At the end of the lecture, or after closing J.-P. Luminet’s book, you’ll no doubt want to watch the film again to better understand and appreciate it!
