KIP S. THORNE (b. 1940) is an American theoretical physicist, Nobel laureate, and one of the world's leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einstein's general theory of relativity.  A longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, he was the Richard Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech until 2009.  He was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves".

Thorne's research has principally focused on relativistic astrophysics and gravitation physics, with emphasis on relativistic stars, black holes and especially gravitational waves.  He is perhaps best known to the public for his controversial theory that wormholes can conceivably be used for time travel.  However, Thorne's scientific contributions, which center on the general nature of space, time, and gravity, span the full range of topics in general relativity.

First published in 1973, GRAVITATION is a landmark graduate-level textbook that presents Einstein’s general theory of relativity and offers a rigorous, full-year course on the physics of gravitation.  Upon publication, Science called it "a pedagogic masterpiece," and it has since become a classic, considered essential reading for every serious student and researcher in the field of relativity.

BLACK HOLES AND TIME WARPS (1994) offers an accessible, deftly illustrated history of curved spacetime.  Covering developments from Einstein to Hawking, he takes his readers to the very edge of theoretical physics: straight through wormholes, past hyperspace, "hairless" wormholes and quantum foam to the leading questions that drive quantum physics.

In 2017, Thorne and Roger D. Blandford published MODERN CLASSICAL PHYSICS, a graduate-level textbook that covers the fundamental concepts and twenty-first-century applications of six major areas of classical physics: statistical physics, optics (waves of all sorts), elastodynamics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics, and special and general relativity and cosmology.

Thorne was also the scientific consultant and an executive producer for Christopher Nolan's science-fiction film "Interstellar" (1984), and wrote a tie-in book in which he explains the scientific concepts behind the film's cosmological ideas.

avatarYou probably get this question a lot recently(and I understand if you don't wish to answer for privacy reasons) but difficult has your book torrenting work become with the current war going on and all(again I understand if you don't with to answer such a touchy subject) other then that might I ask why you upload so few pdf files :)

avatarI appreciate your concern. Although surrounded by thieves and scoundrels, I'm fine for the moment. Torrenting can be a fantastic diversion from the daily tide of worries and bad news.

avatarI've been asked before about a Dewey collection. By my count, only 15 of the 38 vols. comprising his Collected Works appear to be available. I have little personal knowledge of his work, it would be a large undertaking consuming a considerable period of time, and I'd be starting entirely from from scratch.

avatarI'm also unsure of how many seeders other than myself it would likely attract. For those reasons, I've given priority to finishing torrents that are partially complete but but have been neglected. Torrents that seemed more "manageable", in other words.

avatarEnglish is my third language so maybe I didn't get my points across correctly, but I was just curious/worried about your safety and the troubles you might be facing, also I was wondering If you've ever done a collection of the works of John Dewy ?

avatarwell I wish you best luck in your future endeavor, believe me I can related how worrying it can be living in a truly unstable nation, I understand that you can't do my personal request but you really should look up John Dewey if you have the time, he was like the father of decent education reform in the west(he's the reason why stuff like teachers canning children in school doesn't happen anymore)
