When the heroes of Interstellar land on the water-covered planet, the soundtrack punctuates every passing day on Earth. Here is the video
In “Interstellar” You often hear us talking about it in our articles. 2014 film written by Christopher Nolan It has generated a lot of debate in recent years, but there is no doubt that it has brought a breath of fresh air to the sci-fi cinema scene.

A reflection that also has ramifications for its memorable soundtrack Hans Zimmer.
The meaning of time in the film
There is one scene in particular, in which all the film’s originality emerges, thanks to the assistance of the astrophysicist and Nobel Prize winner. Cape Thorn To the manager.

Let’s stop here for a moment. The reason for this “time slip” is related to Einstein’s theory of relativity.
