Richard H. Price (born March 1, 1943) is a leading American physicist, well known for his important work in general relativity. Price graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1960, and went on to earn a dual degree in physics and engineering from Cornell University in 1965. He earned his Ph.D. in 1971 from Caltech under the supervision of Kip Thorne.

- Richard H. Price (born March 1, 1943) is a leading American physicist, well known for his important work in general relativity. Price graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1960, and went on to earn a dual degree in physics and engineering from Cornell University in 1965. He earned his Ph.D. in 1971 from Caltech under the supervision of Kip Thorne. He has spent most of his career at the University of Utah, but in 2004 joined Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Texas at Brownsville. Price is probably best known for a 1972 result now known as Price's theorem. This is usually informally stated as follows: any inhomogeneities in the spacetime geometry outside a black hole will be radiated away. (Any such inhomogeneities can be quantified as nonzero higher multipole moments. ) Price's theorem explains how the no hair theorem is enforced. Price also made pioneering numerical simulations which established (nonrigorously) a precise scenario for the emission of gravitational radiation during the merger of two compact objects (such as two black holes). Subsequent work has largely confirmed the scenario which was first developed in his work. These simulations have provided a major impetus for the development of gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO. Price is the coauthor of three well known books in general relativity.
- Richard H. Price est un physicien états-unien majeur, bien connu pour ses travaux importants en relativité générale. Price fut diplômé à la Stuyvesant High School en 1960 et continua en obtenant un double diplôme en physique et en ingénierie à l'université Cornell en 1965. Il obtint son Ph.D. en 1971 au Caltech sous la direction de Kip Thorne. Il passa l'essentiel de sa carrière à l'université d'Utah, mais en 2004 il rejoignit le Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy à l'université du Texas à Brownsville. Price est surtout connu pour un résultat obtenu en 1972 appelé maintenant théorème de Price. Celui-ci est habituellement formulé simplement comme suit : toute inhomogénéité dans la géométrie de l'espace-temps en dehors d'un trou noir sera évacuée par rayonnement gravitationnel (de telles inhomogénéités peuvent être qualifiées de moments multipolaires d'ordre élevé). Le théorème de Price explique comment le théorème de calvitie s'applique. Price fit également les premières simulations numériques qui établissaient (non rigoureusement) un scénario précis pour l'émission d'ondes gravitationnelles lors de la fusion de deux objets compacts (tels que deux trous noirs). Des études ultérieures ont largement confirmé le scénario qui était développé pour la première fois dans son travail. Ces simulations ont fourni un élan majeur pour le développement de détecteurs d'ondes gravitationnelles tels que LIGO. Price est co-auteur de trois livres renommés en relativité générale.
