   Is Kip Thorne married?

   • Kip Thorne is married and has two children from a previous marriage. One consequence of Einstein’s general theory of relativity is the existence of gravitational waves. These are like ripples in a four-dimensional spacetime that occur when objects with mass accelerate. The effects are very small.
