Professor John Barrett appeared on BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire on 23 June 2015 to discuss the maths behind the 2014 film Interstellar. Scientific papers have been published in this month's American Journal of Physics which urge films such as Interstellar to be shown in schools. They encourage Physics teachers to play the film in their classes to get across ideas about general relativity. Christopher Nolan, the director of Intersellar, told BBC News that he wanted to "inspire another generation to really look outwards and to look to the stars again".
