Legendary physicist Kip Thorne responds to Interstellar's critics, praises Anne Hathaway’s ability to geek out, and chats about his bromance with Stephen Hawking.

Hundreds packed Science Center Hall B to watch Kip S. Thorne, a professor of theoretical physics at Caltech and a 2017 Nobel Prize laureate, discuss black holes and wormholes during the inaugural ...

Kip Thorne's proposition of wormholes, though, shaped the genre for decades. The tempting thing about wormholes is that they are, in fact, a mathematically sound solution to Einstein's equations.

He, Thorne and Barish "ensured that four decades of effort led to gravitational waves finally being observed," the Nobel announcement said. The announcement said Einstein was convinced that ...

Kip Thorne will speak about the convergence of art and science at Chapman University on Thursday. By Peter Larsen | [email protected] | Orange County Register PUBLISHED: May 12, 2016 at 11:05 AM PDT ...

In 1975, physicists Kip Thorne and Rainer Weiss visited Washington, D.C., for a NASA meeting and wound up sharing a hotel room. One was a theorist from Caltech; the other an experimentalist from MIT.

Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne is no ordinary science advisor. He wasn’t just on the set of Insterstellar because Christopher Nolan needed a helping hand when it came to visualizing black holes.

Kip Thorne and other scientists are attempting to prove things about the unseen that have been sensed by great thinkers such as Albert Einstein and Ralph Waldo Emerson ("Crunch Time," by Preston ...

To find the smallest of the small, it pays to dream big. The American physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish shared the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics today for their leading roles in the ...

Kip Thorne, the 74-year-old theoretical physicist whose ideas provided the original inspiration for Christopher Nolan‘s blockbuster Interstellar, is in his home office in Pasadena, drinking a ...

Rainer Weiss, left, and Kip Thorne stand next to a plaque commemorating the groundbreaking physics work of Robert “Bob” Dicke in what was then the Palmer Physical Laboratory at Princeton and is now ...

When I finally sit down with Jonathan Nolan and Kip Thorne, I ask them what it’s like to come to JPL – for Thorne, who has worked here, and for Nolan, who probably read about the place as a kid.
