Join us for what promises to be one of the deepest and most profound conversations we\\u2019ve had in our Science Salon series as Dr. Thorne reflects on his life and career in theoretical physics, his pursuit of the detection of the long-elusive gravitational waves through the LIGO detector, his relationship and bet with Stephen Hawking, how he came to consult on Carl Sagan\\u2019s Contact and Christopher Nolan\\u2019s Interstellar, his curious work on black holes, wormholes, and time travel, and what it\\u2019s like to go to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize.
