Join us for a festive exploration of interstellar physics as we celebrate both the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" and the holiday season! Discover how Kip Thorne's groundbreaking scientific contributions made "Interstellar" one of the most accurate depictions of black holes and wormholes in cinema history. In this special holiday episode, we present "How the Grinch Stole Spacetime" - a quantum physics twist on the classic tale, complete with accurate relativistic effects and proper time dilation.

Learn why the science behind "Interstellar" isn't just movie magic, but real physics that led to peer-reviewed papers. Find out how time dilation actually works near black holes, why wormholes might be traversable, and what exotic matter has to do with it all. Plus, discover what happened to Dave from Accounting when he tried to use gravitational time dilation to extend his lunch break!

Key topics include:

  • The science behind Interstellar's black hole visualization
  • Kip Thorne's contributions to physics and cinema
  • Einstein-Rosen bridges and traversable wormholes
  • Time dilation effects near massive objects
  • How to organize an office holiday party across multiple dimensions

Whether you're a fan of hard science fiction, Seussian physics, or just wondering how to handle Secret Santa across spacetime, this episode has something for everyone. Remember: in the multiverse of corporate culture, every holiday party exists in a superposition of success and disaster until someone spikes the quantum punch.

Tune in for a perfect blend of real physics, office humor, and festive cheer that would make even Schrödinger's cat purr with approval!
