Christopher Nolan's new film 'Oppenheimer' features complex science.
Science advisors on his latest film, "Oppenheimer," told Insider that's because he teaches himself the science before he even sits down to write.
Thorne, who attended lectures by the real J. Robert Oppenheimer while studying at Princeton, has first-hand knowledge about Oppenheimer the man, not just his science.
So he said that he clarified and expanded on some of the interactions these famous men would have had with one another for Nolan's film.
Oppenheimer was an expert in quantum physics, and was responsible for bringing the discipline to the US, Thorne said.
