Interstellar is one my fav film & Christopher Nolan is my fav director I have seen all movies of him (except 'following' which I m gonna watch soon) besides him the work of 'double negative' the visual effect team of Paul Franklin made to Oscar & ofcourse the sources Kip Throne & Lynda Obst...
The Climax of the film 'The Tesserect' made me surprisingly awestrucked which happens to arise my interest in the book of the great scientist Kip Throne..
The chapters in the book are labeled as-
1) Truth
2) Educated Guess
3) Speculation
So it's a complete interpretation of scientific phenomenons happening in the movie from that I have known things that I had never heard before...
The most interesting parts of book are:
# The 5D Bulk
# The Brands
# Gravitational Anomalies
# Warped Space-Time
# Tidal Gravity
# Black Holes (Gargantua)
# Worm Holes
# Gravitational Slingshots
# Blight (On Earth)
# Miller's & Mann's Planets
# The Tesserect
These are the mind blowing concepts scientists have discovered recently..
I would write a lot about Tesserect, Black holes & Wormholes but I don't want spoilers here...lol there isn't anything like spoilers in science non-fiction u will have to read it to get it...
The thing I wanna say is we humans r capable of discovering, deciphering, mastering and using to control our own fate & of dealing with most any catastrophe the universe may throw at us or our own ones..
We are very close to discover the unified theory to unravel all the mysteries of forces & fields in nature by amalgamation of Newtonian,Relativistic,Quantum & other new laws.We come across new frontiers no matter how incognita it seems.

I got about 2/3 the way through, listening to this through library download. So I didn't listen to the whole thing. But it was really interesting. Some parts flew over my head, no matter how many times I replayed. But great food for the brain, nonetheless.

It’s both made for public consumption but also difficult to understand. I think it is an essential companion to watching the movie though.

Very nice read, specially regarding fast-spinning black holes (not much literature about it). It is surprising how accurate the movie in reference to the physics and scientific hypothesis laid down by Nolan.
In relation to the actual book, I got an e-book copy, I discourage this format. The book is quite prolific in graphs making it a bit cumbersome to navigate back-and-forth between annotations and the main corpus. On top of that, many of the graphs are color-coded, making it difficult to understand on e-ink screen.
