Kip S. Thorne - Nobel Prize in Physics, 2017 (9 books)

Torrent: Kip S. Thorne - Nobel Prize in Physics, 2017 (9 books)
Description:



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.
