In this chapter, the speakers discuss how their book, 'The Warped Side of the Universe', originated from an article they were asked to write and illustrate for Playboy magazine. They share their experience of submitting the article and paintings to Playboy, only to be rejected by Hugh Hefner himself.
Kip Thorne, Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist known for his pioneering work in astrophysics, and Lia Halloran, multi-award-winning artist and photographer, join to talk about their cosmic collaboration—a book of poetry and paintings called “The Warped Side of Our Universe: An Odyssey through Black Holes, Wormholes, Time Travel, and Gravitational Waves.”
