Kip Stephen Thorne (born June 1, 1940) is an American theoretical physicist, known for his contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics.
A longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, he was the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) until 2009 and is one of the world's leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
He continues to do scientific research and scientific consulting, most notably for the Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar.
"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."
Kip Thorne
