The article discusses a joint paper published in the journal "Classical and Quantum Gravity" from the film "Interstellar"'s special effects team and scientific consultant Kip Thorne, on the team's decisions to modify real-life models of a black hole deemed to complex for audiences to understand. Topics include the visual effects studio Double Negative and director Christopher Nolan; and elements such as the black hole's accretion disk, spin, color scheme, time dilation, and Doppler shift.

We study the tunneling probability of a massive (mw) uncharged scalar packet out from a near-extremal, static charged black hole (with mass M and charge Q≲M). We show that there is indeed a net probability that a massive uncharged particle tunnels out from the black hole so that the final state (with new mass M′≡M-mw
