Kip Thorne on Interstellar Blackholes
Alan Duffy
One of the best science lectures I've ever seen was at Monash University by Caltech's legend GR expert Prof Kip Thorne giving the Einstein Centenary lecture to celebrate a century since General Relativity was released to the world. Fittingly, he used the examples of Interstellar's Black Holes, time dilation and 5-dimensional (bulk) beings to make the topic all the more accessible to the (sold out) auditorium. I was there alongside fellow astro geek colleagues (who played it far cooler than I!) Dr Katie Mack and Dr Stephanie Juneau. Truly an amazing combination of scientist, science communicator and nice dude. A bucket list item ticked.
