Of course! :)

Here are a few of my favorite youtube channels that cover our universe.

These guys do a good job of giving excellent and creditable facts while keeping the video short and sweet.

This channel covers more than just space, but again they give good facts while still keeping the videos not too lengthy.

And of course, nothing gets more credibility than the big guys themselves, NASA. These videos are a bit long, but are just loaded with a ton of real world space Q&A's.

The few magazines I have lying around my house right now are all related to space, and they are a great read for any of my guests! Heres a link for the planetary society (main source of my reading material)

and here are a few books that every curious mind should take a good long glance at when it comes to our universe.

The main podcast I listen to is Star Talk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He has a plethora of different guests on at all times talking about new and fascinating topics. Here's a link for his show

And when it comes to articles, most of them come from Reddit! I am subscribed to a ton of different space related subreddits which post countless numbers of interesting articles all the time. Here is a small list just to name a few

I hope this helps!

I dunno, man. I guess I was giving my 2 cents on the next best thing from a "theater experience" aside from some of the users here that have home theater setups. I understand that not everyone can afford a good set of cans, but it's really a wise investment if you take care of them.

I'm not sure what the audio quality is like on digital releases, I bought the blu ray and ripped it keeping the 7.1 Master Audio and 5.1 Dolby Digital tracks.

[if you're curious, any 'ol SATA Blu-Ray reader is capable of ripping with MakeMKV - There's a free trial but afterwards it's $50, I've ripped well more than that amount in borrowed/rented/owned blu-rays so it's already paid for itself. No I will not upload anything i've ripped]

My brother has these and they're awesome

The ones I have

Compare them to the Sonys that all the sound engineers I know use and you'll get a better perspective

Hope this helps

Celestron 21035 70mm Travel Scope:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TI9Y2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I probably could have spent more time researching one, but it had good reviews, travels easily, isn't too complicated to set up and it's a great price. I decided I'd rather start here and work my way up to something more advanced later on than buy one now that's too advanced for me and more expensive.

Plus it has 70mm in the name, and I saw Interstellar on IMAX 70mm so the Murphy in me told me it was fate. :)

I wish I had snippets of him talking about exactly that, but he seems to ramble for long periods around the subject. I can definitely point you in the direction of some Morrison rants regarding the 5th dimension.

http://www.amazon.com/Invisibles-Book-One-Deluxe/dp/1401245021/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1416181375&sr=8-3&keywords=invisibles

http://www.amazon.com/Supergods-Vigilantes-Miraculous-Mutants-Smallville/dp/0812981383/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416181390&sr=8-1&keywords=supergods&pebp=1416181392529

The basic gist of Morrison and his writing is that he believes he was kidnapped (or just borrowed) by 5th Dimensional Beings after completing a mystical challenge in Kathmandu. He was shown our world from a 5th dimensional perspective. He compared it to watching black and white television... what seems real to us now is just a television show... in reality there is brightness and vividness beyond all comparison, but we have to collectively as a species be prepared to make the jump to get there.

In Supergods and the Fatman on Batman podcast, he goes in depth about his Kathmandu experience and how it shapes his thought processes. In Invisibles, that experience is put on paper in comic book form. It is the story of a group of "good guys" that realize from a 5th dimension perspective that there is no good and evil... It is all just a group of people trying to make the jump to hyperspace. From Invisibles: this is what a fourth dimensional being able to traverse time and space would see in people:

The trail is every instance of a person in their lives.

Little bit of a rant, but I find his writing amazing, and as hokey as his "experiences" sound, there is definitely part of me that believes that something happened.

This is an older system, but the speakers are absolutely great for the price. SLS is a pro-audio company that dabbled in consumer audio with Best Buy and made this system several years ago.

It's what I'd reccomend: http://www.amazon.com/SLS-Q-Line-Surround-Theater-System/dp/B000JZSYZO

They are great quality!

You should also pick up the Future of Spacetime. It's a wonderful collection of essays from the likes of Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne. As for the no science background thing, I'm in high school and still managed to understand it in its entirety.

Amazon even pairs it with this, Neal Stephenson's new novel
http://www.amazon.com/Seveneves-A-Novel-Neal-Stephenson/dp/0062190377/ref=pd_sim_b_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BA5VZ7WMSSBJGYFXAFC

Is this the book you're talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Flatland-Romance-Dimensions-Thrift-Editions/dp/048627263X ?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00I364JC8/ref=cts_wa_3_vtp?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2601945562&pf_rd_r=MBV90CH9E1HSFYJQYYAF&pd_rd_wg=PmssW&pf_rd_s=mobile-detail-softlines&pf_rd_t=40701&pi=SL110&pd_rd_i=B00I364JC8&pd_rd_w=cilsN&pf_rd_i=mobile-detail-softlines&pd_rd_r=MBV90CH9E1HSFYJQYYAF&dpPl=1&dpID=41IK-2V1nPL

It was the closest thing I could find to the hamilton, plus I got it for $130

The book is called Specter of the Monolith

here's the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Specter-Monolith-Nihilism-Space-Interstellar/dp/0979840473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511281659&sr=8-1&keywords=specter+of+the+monolith&dpID=51VCPl6ezqL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

I just want to point out that he has no formal education in science. He is basically a crackpot.

The explanation in this video of the fifth dimension is as a "probability space of Everett's Many Worlds" theorem and this idea has not been accepted mainstream science. Mainstream physics understands the fifth dimension as a spatial (space) dimension, not a temporal (time) dimension.

Read the reviews for his book, he is called out throughout the reviews by people that actually know what they are talking about.

Not 100% sure that is the exact one but looks close.

I bought this watch. It may not look anything like coopers, but it was close enough for me. My next watch however will be his = D

No clue on the show but there's a book about it. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Interstellar-Beyond-Mark-Cotta-Vaz/dp/0762456833/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk

No. You're still not understanding.

Watch this excerpt from "The Elegant Universe" on how we understand spacetime to actually be.

There is no "first time." All of spacetime exists already - the moment you are born and the moment you die both exist simultaneously. The same for every event. If you had the technology to "step outside" the 4D "block" of spacetime you could see all of these events connected by a "worldline" of every event in your life. The same for any event you cared to look at.

As humans, we can't even conceive of how this perception would appear to us. That's the point of these "distant future humans" needing to communicate through Cooper in the tessaract, they can perceive huge chunks of spacetime but cannot focus on any one particular moment anymore without something to connect them to it, hence their connection to Cooper (that's my interpretation at least based on Cooper's words to TARS).

Our perception as humans in our "now" is limited to entropy - we use electrochemical reactions to interpret our surroundings and remember what we interpreted before - these function through entropy hence we cannot see the future. But that does not mean the future is not there, already existing, waiting for our entropy-bound perceptions to encounter it.

With this conclusion, you can see that Cooper is always knocking the books off the shelf and sending himself the coordinates in the dust... just like he is always discovering the coordinates his future self sent. It just depends on which section of the block universe, which period of coordinates in the 4th dimension (3 of direction, 1 of time) you want to pay attention to.
