Kip Thorne is one of the leading physicists working on Einstein's theory of relativity today. He has pioneered the scientific investigation of black holes in the universe. He was one of the founders of the LIGO project to detect gravitational waves and he has been one of the international team of physicists developing the LISA gravitational wave detector, a project of the space agency ESA which is likely to have some NASA participation. He has carried out important research in an unusually wide range of fields: general relativity, astrophysics, the quantum theory of measurement, time travel, even the experimental details of the design of gravitational wave detectors. Panos Charitos (PC) and Spyros Argyropoulos (SA) met him in Geneva and discussed with him about the new window that gravitational waves open and the cosmological implications of this discovery.
