Kip Thorne
Caltech theoretical physicist; Nobel laureate (Physics, 2017); executive producer of Interstellar
Kip Thorne — Caltech theoretical physicist; Nobel laureate (Physics, 2017); executive producer of Interstellar — is named in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. Attended the "Confronting Gravity" workshop — a six-day conference on fundamental questions in physics and cosmology held at the Ritz-Carlton on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in March 2006, funded by Epstein through his foundation J. Epstein VI Inc. and organised by physicist Lawrence Krauss. Approximately twenty of the world's top physicists attended; participants also took a trip to Epstein's nearby private island, Little Saint James. The conference predated Epstein's 2008 criminal conviction, and the attendee list and Epstein's funding role are documented in the DOJ-released Epstein files. No wrongdoing is alleged against Thorne. This profile is auto-generated from public reporting and is pending editorial review; inclusion does not imply guilt or wrongdoing.
