Isn't this page missing a nobel prize medal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Åke Lindblom ( talk • contribs) 01:13, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
What is "warpage and the quantum" supposed to mean in this article? -- Constantine Evans 03:51, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
I was just reading the history of this Article, and it would seem that the name had been frequently changed from Kip S Thorne to Kip Dent. Has Kip ever been known as the latter? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WASTREL ( talk • contribs) 17:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC).
Thank you meegs; that is very helpful. But why would somebody want to vandalise Mr. Thorne? Anyway, I was also wondering whether what is said about Mr. Thorne being the first person to conduct research on time travel was true? Surely that has been something that man has looked into scientifically for hundreds, if not thousands of years? WASTREL 14:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
...Why would someone want to vandalise Mr. Thorne? - mmmmmm ...and this is a very speculative answer... If Mr/Dr Thorne was the first person to conduct R&D into time travel then his "Wiki" page would be an obvious target for malicious edits from the future (if he is successful). The fact that Wiki sites relating to time travel are not vandalised as soon as (or before) they are first put up, suggests something (I'm not sure what). Personally, I think he looks like Louis Wu (which is more worrying). 86.165.105.7 ( talk) 22:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I removed the following content from the article. It is trivia without sources and of dubious value and accuracy. Please refer to WP:BLP for Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons.

The infobox says he is a "lapsed Mormon". I find this rather oxymoronic, if he used to be a Mormon but "lapsed" out of it, why call him a Mormon? Or is he a practicing Mormon, but somehow not quite up to the standards, or what? Or is it that he simply grew up in a Mormon family? In any case, "lapsed Mormon" makes little sense to me. If there will be no objections, I'll remove it in a while. If anyone knows what his religious affiliation is or whether he has any, please fill it in. Naphra 19:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Removed. (Forgot to log in, though.) Naphra 01:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
In the current article, there's a section devoted to an upcoming film adaptation of Kip Thorne's works on Black Holes. The film adaptation in question is Interstellar to be directed by Christopher Nolan for Warner Bros. and Paramount Films. As of now, the film has a release date of November 7, 2014 with casting discussions in place. Instead of posting all information about that movie in this section, isn't it better to start a new article named Interstellar (film)? I know that information on the film is scarce at the moment but its only a matter of time before more information becomes available. -- KrazzyDJ ( talk) 15:09, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Does Kip Thorne's Hoop Conjecture disprove or contradict naked singularities? I find the phrase "cast aside the thought" unnecessarily ambiguous. Ceaseless ( talk) 07:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

If the information in the article below is notable it should be merged into this article, there is not a particular reason I can see for it to be a standalone article. Phil ( talk) 02:15, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Independent article inspired in Thorne–Hawking–Preskill bet or Scientific wager, but merging in a Kip Thorne bio subsection is also OK. Also good idea to merge into numerical relativity page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colwikicol ( talk • contribs) 01:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

original text: He continues to do scientific research and scientific consulting, most notably for the Christopher Nolan film Interstellar.[4][5]
The Interstellar is an old film, so we should keep all the information, but write it in a better form.
