2011 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: The Theory of Everything
« on: March 16, 2012, 06:16:23 AM »
Really amazing discussion/debate between colleagues about the bleeding edge of cosmological physics, with Neil deGrasse Tyson very effective in the role of moderator/instigator:

Man these guys are on another level, above another level, sitting on top of 10 different levels.  :eyecrazy:   Big ups to Mr.Tyson for keeping it as layman as possible for those of us lacking a physics phd  :lolsign:   Simply amazing.  First one of these debates or rather discussions I've seen.

I saw a comment saying that Neil had to dumb things down for the "stupid people." I think that calling yourself stupid just because you haven't devoted half of your life to a particular branch of science is needlessly self-demeaning.

And only stupid people would do that.  :nana:
