Science Isn't Science without Humans.

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2014)

When I walked out of the theater, I couldn't talk about the movie. I couldn't comprehend the surge of feelings I was experiencing. I couldn't just accept the fact that this was the greatest movie I have ever seen, one that would affect me so deeply, move me so profoundly. This isn't just any science fiction movie,this is a journey through time and space. This is a hard hitting message to all the people of science out there - It is you that make science what it is today. It is your humanity, your emotions, your feelings that shape the science to which this world owes so much. Science isn't just the underlying principle; it isn't just the sub atomic particle that behaves in a way that quantum physics can predict, it isn't just the underlying physiology that a doctor can understand; it isn't just a puzzle to be cracked; it isn't just an equation to be solved. Science is what we want it to be. Science is that hidden motivation inside of us that wants to make this world a better place, that wants to understand our place in this universe.But what is it that pushes us to make these breakthroughs everyday? It is the people around us. It is the love we have for them , it is the fear of that indescribable torment of losing someone that matters so much, that pushes us to break boundaries. What will happen if we ever let artificial intelligence do our science? Will that be the end of the era of discoveries? These are questions that I hope will never need an answer. I am not going to review this movie. I thought I wouldn't even talk about it. I wanted to selfishly relish how overwhelmed I felt by it, and the profound effect it had on me. But I couldn't stop thinking about this movie; I couldn't help but be amazed at how Christopher Nolan shook my belief and threw me, not into darkness, but into the path of a blinding light I still feel overpowered by. The only way I can truly understand what I went through in those three hours is to write about it. For the first time since I fell in love with movies, that my jaw dropped and I spent most of the movie with my mouth wide open , in awe of the brilliance that Nolan has delivered. The reality of relativity does not lie in the difficulty to understand or predict in its entirety, but in humanities collective reaction to it. Nolan's compelling portrayal of emotions we have never felt, realities that would seem too absurd to even imagine, shocked me and and my core beliefs. Nolan rekindled the love of science in me and made my ask myself - what if? And this is why I am still in disbelief at his work. Thank you Nolan, you have redeemed science and humanity for the rest of the world.
