17. Dr. Kip Thorne — Gravitational Waves, Black Holes, Time Travel, and Hollywood

Join us for what promises to be one of the deepest and most profound conversations we've had in our Science Salon series as Dr. Thorne reflects on his life and career in theoretical physics, his pursuit of the detection of the long-elusive gravitational waves through the LIGO detector, his relationship and bet with Stephen Hawking, how he came to consult on Carl Sagan's Contact and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, his curious work on black holes, wormholes, and time travel, and what it's like to go to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize.
