did you see the movie, "Interstellar?" Huge emphasis on Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. While watching the movie, I sort of felt bad for the producers and directors. They consulted with Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist out of Cal Tech (California Institute of Technology). I know you disproved Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity last week (you made a getbig thread about it). If they would have consulted with you, the movie would have been more factual. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this movie?
