Charles Thorn (born 14 August 1946) is a Professor of Physics at University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.[1] He played an important role in the development of dual models and string theory.[2] Among his contributions is the proof of the non-existence of ghosts in string theory. The Goddard–Thorn theorem is a result about certain vector spaces in string theory. Thorn developed it with Peter Goddard.
