- Grøn, Øyvind He was born in Oslo,[citation needed] and is a twin. He took the cand.real. degree at the University of Oslo in 1973, majoring in meteorology. He followed up with the dr.philos. degree in 1990 with a thesis on repulsive gravitation .

- Charles Misner, Kip Thorne Kip Stephen Thorne is an American theoretical physicist, known for his prolific contributions in gravitation physics and astrophysics and for having trained a generation of scientists. A longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, he is the current Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech and one of the world’s, and John Archibald Wheeler John Archibald Wheeler was an eminent American theoretical physicist. One of the later collaborators of Albert Einstein, he tried to achieve Einstein's vision of a unified field theory.
