Kip S. Thorne - Geometrodynamics: The Nonlinear Dynamics of Curved Spacetime

American physicist Kip S. Thorne, the Nobel laureate for the detection of gravitational waves visited Prague in May 2019. He was the guest of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. Thorne gave three lectures during his Prague stay. Here is a video record of the second lecture from May 16th 2019 from hall M1 of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Ke Karlovu 3, Prague 2.

Absolutely superb lecture, as Jiri Bicak mentioned, "very (J.A.) Wheeler s like". Be happy to be there in auditorium. As Kip mentioned he s 79 these days and he leave this interesting work to younger people whilst he s about to make simpler things like movies... :) Many thnx to LLionTV crew for well done job. It s quite a unique event and we re happy we have good record to go back and recall and ask more questions :) Certainly I do :)
