I have used movies to go to sleep at night. You flip from channel to channel to channel and see just enough… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
As early as I can remember, I wanted to be a snowplow driver. When you grow up in the Rocky Mountains, like… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
We see no objects in our universe that could become wormholes as they age. — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
My passion is to understand the non-linear dynamics of warped space-time, and the ideal venue for this is black-hole collisions. — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
I wanted to be a snowplow driver when I was a kid. Growing up in the Rocky Mountains, that's the most glorious job you… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
Black holes do not emit light, so you visualize them through gravitational lensing - how they bend light from other objects. — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
We'll have four different gravitational wave windows open within the next 20 years, and each of them will see something different. We'll be probing… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
I can enjoy 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Trek,' but I really appreciate hard science fiction. — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
I have used movies to go to sleep at night. You flip from channel to channel to channel and see just enough to make… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
I got a lot of notoriety early on. Much of my career I was just trying to prove I was as good as the… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal clear whether… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
If you have a wormhole, then you can turn them into time machines for going backward in time. — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
Wormholes - if you don't have something threading through them to hold them open, the walls will basically collapse so fast that nothing can… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
A big misconception is that a black hole is made of matter that has just been compacted to a very small size. That's not… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
We're born with a curiosity about the universe. Those people who don't have a curiosity don't have it because it's gotten beaten out of… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
