Interstellar and String Theory

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2014)

I'm not sure if anyone else found this connection but the idea of gravity being the only thing allowed to go across different dimensions is an idea of string theory. String theory says that there are two types of strings, open and closed. Only closed strings, like the one that makes the graviton particle responsible for gravity, can go across different dimensions while open strings are stuck on their single dimension. Additionally, Cooper began to do something akin of plucking a "string" when in the library of time within the black hole, and in doing so he was communicating across the dimension Murph was in via gravity, hence the closed loop graviton string proposed in string theory. Also, all this talk about extra dimensions, reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity, etc falls back on string theory. So, I feel like this movie took a lot of it's imaginative ideas from string theory. I know...I've said the phrase "string theory" too many times already, forgive me. Anyways, I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts about this, so what do y'all think?
