Kip Thorne Quotes

A black hole really is an object with very rich structure, just like Earth has a rich structure of mountains, valleys, oceans, and so forth. Its warped space whirls around the central singularity like air in a tornado Picture Quote #1

Gravitational waves will bring us exquisitely accurate maps of black holes - maps of their space-time. Those maps will make it crystal clear whether or not what were dealing with are black holes as described by general relativity Picture Quote #1

Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity Picture Quote #1

Each black hole spins on its axis like the Earth spins. That spin creates two vortexes of twisting space, somewhat like vortexes in a bathtub or a whirlpool Picture Quote #1

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 true. A black hole is made from warped space and time Picture Quote #1

I do hope that ‘Interstellar’ and this kind of science in film will catch the public fancy and help to reignite an interest in science - and a respect for the power of science in dealing with the problems that society has to deal with Picture Quote #1

If you have somebody who’s brilliant and highly creative with a different point of view than you have, and a very different intellectual background, great things can happen Picture Quote #1

As early as I can remember, I wanted to be a snowplow driver. When you grow up in the Rocky Mountains, like I did, you see the snow drifts piled up six feet high, and you’re two feet, so it’s impressive Picture Quote #1

I have used movies to go to sleep at night. You flip from channel to channel to channel and see just enough to make your brain mushy and go to sleep Picture Quote #1

We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change Picture Quote #1

Closed timelike curve’ is the jargon for time travel. It means you go out, come back and meet yourself in the past Picture Quote #1

Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity. We are several decades away from a definitive understanding, 20 or 30 years, but it could be sooner than that Picture Quote #1

If you have a wormhole, then you can turn them into time machines for going backward in time Picture Quote #1

When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect with ordinary human senses Picture Quote #1

Closed timelike curve is the jargon for time travel. It means you go out, come back and meet yourself in the past Picture Quote #1

Simplicity is the touchstone in finding new physical laws... If it’s elegant, then it’s a rough rule of thumb: you’re on the right track Picture Quote #1
