A distorção temporal no topo da Serra do Caraça: um convite ao fascínio pela relatividade geral

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how interest can be developed in students when discussing issues of modern and contemporary physics, in particular general relativity, in the classroom. As paradidactic tools, an excerpt from the film Interstellar (2011) and a narrative involving an adapted version of the twin paradox in the context of Serra do Caraça were used, in order to create an environment inspired by the use of imagination and, consequently, learning. significant. The representation of the fabric of space-time through the trampoline experiment and the calculation of temporal distraction at the top of Serra provide context and elements of reality for students. The analysis of the data, obtained through apprentices, audios recorded in the classes and artistic productions of the students, supports the hypothesis that it is possible to arouse the students' interest in Physics themes.
