Some of them-like black holes and time machines-are so unthinkable that Einstein himself rejected them. The renowned physicist Kip S. Thorne has been in the thick of the quest.
Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science-fiction writers, but they are firmly matters of science fact.” For decades, Stephen Hawking has been fascinated by black holes.
