Summary: After I hosted a talk on gravitational waves about 15 years ago, the mumblings in the audience after the talk were clear: “They’ll never make it.” Of course they did, and the 2016 announcement of the detection of gravitational waves led to a Nobel Prize for Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish. So it’s a great pleasure to have Kip Thorne as a guest. Kip tells us a bit about he LIGO story, and we also talk about whether it’s possible to travel backward in time, and what his future movie plans
