Charles Misner was interviewed by Christian Science Monitor about the accuracy of the science in the movie “Interstellar” and Misner’s 1973 textbook “Gravitation,” co-authored with Kip Thorne. “Science provides a stepping stone into a universe that it would be exciting in which to live, and which we can enjoy as fiction.”

James Gates was quoted in the New York Times, November 24, in an article about the one-handed touchdown catch by Odell Beckham at the Giants vs. Dallas Cowboy game, November 23. “…It’s the gyroscopic effect. It means the ball will likely stay on the same line, and that makes it easier for the human eye to see where the center of the ball is headed, which makes it easier to catch.”

Ted Jacobson was quoted in Nature, October 12, in an article on creating a laboratory-scale imitation of a black hole emitting Hawking radiation.  Jacobson who, in 1999, suggested that analogue radiation could be seen in the laboratory says that “… the possibility of gleaning new insights about black holes from the sonic experiments remains ‘far fetched,’ for now.”
