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:

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
