Michael S. Morris, is a physics professor at Butler University.

Academia[]

He earned a PhD in physics from Caltech under the supervision of Kip Thorne.[1] Among his nine published peer-reviewed papers, his most notable theoretical contribution is his pioneering analysis of time travel through traversable wormholes, coauthored in 1987 with Kip Thorne, and . Kip Thorne tells the story of this discovery in his 1995 book Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy.
