Exploring the Warped Side of our Universe From Black Holes, Gravitational Waves, and Quantum Fluctuations To Wormholes and Hollywood Movies

Thorne will describe his ~50 year career exploring, with scientist and engineer colleagues, the Warped side of our Universe: objects and phenomena made from warped spacetime. And he will describe his transition, over the past 15 years, into a new career of imagining the Warped Side through creative collaborations with artists and film makers.
