Kip S. Thorne was born on June 1, 1940 in Logan, Utah. Both his parents were professors at Utah State University. His father was D. Wynne Thorne, a soil chemist and his mother was Alison C. Thorne, an economist. He was brought up in a very academic-centered environment and two of his four siblings also went on to become professors. Kip Stephen Thorne (born June 1, 1940) is an American theoretical physicist known for his contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics. Along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish, he was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves. LIGO and Gravitational Waves III. Kip S. Thorne delivered his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 2017 at the Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was introduced by Professor Nils Mårtensson, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics.

My father, David Wynne Thorne, was a professor of soil chemistry at the Utah Agricultural College (since renamed Utah State University). Over his lifetime he had a major impact, through Kip S. Thorne: I grew up in Logan, Utah, which is high in the Rocky Mountains, altitude nearly 2,000 meters. We had deep snow when I was growing up so obviously, and before I was eight years old, I wanted to be a driver of a snow plow because you could push the snow to such great heights. But then when I was eight my mother took me to a lecture The 2018 Reines Lecture was presented by Kip Thorne, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for the detection of gravitational waves.
