1. skip 3 minutes at the start :)
2. New finding in 2010 you don't know before, in general theory of relativity Albert Einstein ignored refraction of light. Einstein's proving method (EPM) via eclipse is unscientific and deeply wrong. It is very surprising. Please read on the reliable source the book The Universe and DR.Einstein, by Lincoln Barnett, London, 1949, Preface by Albert Einstein himself, page 78 - 79.
3. I'm afraid these so called relativity experts are just repeatedly confirming Einstein. They are NOT coming with any NEW ideas which could, say, disprove or overthrow relativity and make different (and more accurate predictions) from the reigning theory, just like Einstein did with his theory by overthrowing Newton and making radically different predictions.
   Unless one disproves i.e overthrow the reigning theory it does not count.
   These guys are just "me tooers".
4. I like how all the LIGO stuff came true for exactly Steven Hawking 70th birthday.
5. his rate of aeeuuhhh is very high
6. 4:20   Einstein actually lived from 1879 - 1955.
7. Kip Thorne is I am sure a lovely man but he always relates himself with crippled Hawking, as if that is his public claim to fame, and I don't like that to a minor amount! Kip Thorne is a far more brilliant theoretical physicist and relativistic cosmologist than Hawking! I remember, having being a Dr of Planetary Science at N.A.S.A, listening to one of his lectures on physics, he really is a brilliant man and one of the finest theoretical physicists alive! Fuck Hawking, Kip!

9. The theory states that if an observer measures a photon as he's moving away from it, time has to make up for the distance the photon travels.
   This is WRONG!
   The photon is still traveling at C. It just creates the illusion to the observer that the photon is traveling at a different speed relative to his position.
   If I drive my car at 150mph, passing another car driving at 30mph, I will measure that car moving at 120mph away from my position (backwards)
   But that car is actually still just moving at 30mph.
   The speed you measure any object traveling is relative to your own position but it does not change the actual speed of the object itself.
   Therefore, time remains unchanged to both observer and object.
   
   Here are the facts:
   
   1) Time is not a force of nature which consists of matter or energy. Therefore nothing can interact with it. Not even gravity or velocity.
   2) Time is a concept created by mankind to calculate speeds & locations in space and schedule events.
   3) Time can't be distorted, slowed down or speed up. You can't age slower or faster or travel to the future or the past.
10. is he going to get Nobel prize because LIGO discovered first ever gravitational waves?
11. To prove that Gravitational waves exist ,They spent more than billion Dollar...
    I can prove any ... from Theoretical Physic...any if You give me billion dollars
    The proof is on the atomic level..."one atom was shaking "
    I found that many Country put the Law ,You cannot publicly say or write that Einstein is wrong and if You have proof that Einstein Theory is wrong ,You cannot represent this publicly .These days in some Countries the Law is still exist.
12. another scientist! throwing apple - in any moment millions parents dream of to give to their kids - to make a point. How can a scientist so thoughtless do ANY GOOD THINGS for humanity? These are our pioneers in CalTech, the same is true in MIT.
13. Congrats on the discovery! You 'just' reached that decade goal!
14. I just jumped out of a truly warped YouTube hole of typical general-relativity-denying conspiracytards, wooheads, anti-Semites and Jew-haters. A YT channel by some science-hater named Stephen Crothers.
    
    Whenever I encounter one of these relativity-haters, I just call them racists for hating black holes.
    Yes, seriously. A joke to you and me. But, this is seriously how one must deal with them. On a childish level.
    Calling them Jew-haters, which they explicitly are, is good but not good enough.
    One must deal with conspiracyturd antiscientists / pseudoscientists like one treats the Ebola virus.
15. Boy this was a really great presentation. I watched Interstellar yesterday and searched for Kip Thorne on YouTube and this was even better than the movie (for getting intuition, the movie if of course more entertaining and emotionally charged :-) Excellent talk!
16. 52:58 eLISA launch: 2034??
17. why he look older than 2014
18. Aeeuhh
19. Interesting Sire ! I am understanding it but in intervals of days!
