So there’s this scene in Interstellar where their ship explodes and it makes the ship spin. The girl doesn’t move her head against the spin and she passes out while the experienced guy held his head the opposite of the spin and didn’t pass out. Why’s that? Is it something to do with blood rushing out of the head because of the spinning?

More or less, though not specifically where the head is. Interstellar, being a movie, took some liberties with it. Anne Hathaway’s character is a scientist-astronaut; Matthew McConaughey’s is a pilot-astronaut. So he probably would have more training in the muscle work in the rest of the body and breathing to resist passing out due to high g-forces.

I’ll see if I can dig up the scene.
