Kip Thorne

Hi Darling! For part two of the GW10 series I sit down with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, a founder of LIGO, black-hole theorist, and the science mind behind Interstellar. We talk about the 50 year journey from a bold idea to the first detection of gravitational waves, the brainstorms that seeded quantum computing and precision measurement, and how collaborating with artists and filmmakers reshaped the way he thinks about the universe. Kip shares lessons on finding your own niche in science, embracing creativity, and having fun with hard problems whether you’re chasing spacetime ripples or crafting Hollywood blockbusters. @alexthephysicist

Po prednáške Kip Thorne odpovedal na otázky v diskusii vedenej Martinom Mojžišom. Celú diskusiu v anglickom jazyku si môžete pozrieť na našom webe: https://www.tyzden.sk/video/122387/drzitel-nobelovej-ceny-kip-thorne-diskutoval-s-martinom-mojzisom-svet-ma-problem-ale-riesenie-sa-najde/?ref=tit Text v slovenčine vyjde v piatok v tlačenom .týždni.

Kip Thorne is an emeritus professor of theoretical physics at Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, and someone who has had a huge impact on our understanding of Einsteinian gravity. Over the course of his career Kip has broken new ground in the study of black holes, and been an integral parts of the team that recorded gravitational waves for the very first time – earning him a share in the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. He went on to promote physics in films: developing the original idea behind Christopher Nolan’s time-travel epic Interstellar and, since then, advising on scientific elements of various big-screen projects; including, most recently, the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer. In a special edition of The Life Scientific recorded in front of an audience of London’s Royal Institution, Prof Jim Al-Khalili talks to Kip about his life and career, from his Mormon upbringing in Utah to Hollywood collaborations – all through the lens of his unwavering passion for science.

Could you travel back in time through a wormhole? Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down with theoretical physicist and Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne to reflect on discovering gravitational waves with LIGO, the science in the movie Interstellar , black holes, and many more mysteries still yet to be answered.

We talked with Kip Thorne at the Starmus Festival about his research, creative work, and the behind-the-scenes of the movie Interstellar. How did his scientific insights shape the film? What challenges did he face in making complex scientific concepts accessible to the audience? We also delved into his Nobel Prize-awarded research on gravitational waves. Samuel asked these questions and more in this fascinating conversation. Máme vonku novú knihu, Rozhovory o vesmíre !

Nobelista Kip Thorne je vedec, ktorý rieši otázky, o ktorých mnohí vedci, vrátane Einsteina, pochybovali, čo mu vynieslo až Nobelovu cenu. Thorne tiež spolupracoval s režisérom Christopherom Nolanom na filme Interstellar ako vedecký konzultant, kde skúmali červie diery a javy spojené s gravitáciou. Tému gravitácie predstavil aj na festivale STARMUS v Bratislave. Pri tejto príležitosti poskytol individuálny rozhovor redaktorom Živé.sk Marekom Jurčíkom a Marošom Žofčinom. O tom, aké bolo stráviť pol hodinu s jednou z najväčších kapacít dneška a čo najzaujímavejšie Kip Thorne povedal sa Maroš Žofčin a Marek Jurčík rozprávajú v podcaste SHARE. V podcaste hovoríme aj o týchto témach: Aký je Kip Thorne naživo. Čo sú červie diery a či podľa Thorna existujú. Čo je potrebné na to, aby mohli existovať. Ak by sa nimi dalo cestovať, mohli by sme sa presúvať v priestore i čase. Čo je dnes podľa Thorna najväčšia záhada astrofyziky. Či sme už podľa Nobelistu objavili takmer všetko, alebo ešte skoro nič.

Kip Thorne je vedec, Nobelista, popularizátor fyziky, autor Interstellaru a účastník festivalu Starmus, ktorý bude čoskoro v Bratislave. Čo spravil pre vedu? V čom bol jeho prístup výnimočný? A prečo by s ním Samuel išiel na dovolenku? O tom všetkom diskutujú Jozef a Samuel.

Take a walk on the warped side with this in-person program featuring stars in their respective fields. The new book The Warped Side of Our Universe is the result of the collaboration of Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne and award-winning artist Lia Halloran. It brings to vivid life the wonders and wildness of our universe’s “Warped Side”―objects and phenomena made from warped space and time, from colliding black holes and collapsing wormholes to twisting space vortices and down-cascading time. Through poetic verse and otherworldly paintings, the scientist and the artist explicate Thorne’s and his colleagues’ astrophysical discoveries and speculations, with an epic narrative that asks: How did the universe begin? Can anything travel backward in time? And what weird and marvelous phenomena inhabit the "warped side"? In their book, Thorne and Halloran take readers on an Odyssean voyage using epic verse and more than 100 pulsating paintings to shed light on time travel, black holes, gravitational waves and the birth of the universe. Join us in-person to hear them share tales of the warped side. MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond A Humanities Member-led Forum program.
