On July 23, the opening ceremony of the world's first Nutrition Discovery Museum was held in Zhuhai, China, and Kip Stephen Thorne, a member of the Lecture Board, Nobel Prize winner in physics, producer and scientific advisor to Interstellar, was invited to attend the opening ceremony.



Is "interstellar" in the movie possible? Gravitational waves, what use are they in a life scenario? How will exploring the universe affect the future of mankind? At the opening ceremony, Kip Thorne used just more than 10 minutes, from the big bang to black holes to gravitational waves, to describe the magnificent picture of the exploration of the universe in a simple way, leading the audience to experience a "burning brain journey".



Talking about the significance of space exploration for human beings, Kip Thorne said that in his view, since Galileo looked at the stars with a telescope four hundred years ago, the exploration of the universe has brought many changes to human life, including changes in the world view, but also the prosperity and revolution of science and technology.



In the conversation between the host and Thorne, "What is extraterrestrial life like?" ", "Can humans go to live on another planet?" "Will human beings achieve immortality first, or time travel first?" Such highly imaginative questions, as well as Kip Thorne's witty and humorous, easy to understand answers, let the guests call it "open your imagination".



Are there other life forms out there? Kip Thorne believes that although it is difficult to detect life in the vast expanse of the universe today, it is undeniable that there are many favorable conditions for life to emerge, so it is likely that there are many civilizations more advanced than humans.



For space immigration, Thorne said that human civilization and life are very precious, so to ensure that human beings can continue, in the distant future, if the Earth happens a very serious disaster, people or will migrate to places outside the Earth, as long as there is enough technology can not stop the dream of human immigration to outer space.



Human beings are helpless in the face of death, and eternal life has always been the ultimate dream of mankind. Can humans really live forever? On this issue, Kip Thorne also expressed his own views, he believes that if people can overcome disease, overcome accidents, can live to 120 years old, but in the future it may be possible to combine the machine and biology, the human body, the human character, memory implanted into the machine, as an individual forever. "It is more likely that humans will achieve immortality before time travel," he said.



Finally, Kip Thorne said that he and Hawking are working on a new film as consultants, and that he was involved in the film very early in its production to get the science right.



The exploration of the infinite universe allows us to see more possibilities for the future of mankind. As we continue to unlock the mysteries of the universe, perhaps one day we will actually achieve time travel and eternal life.
