Quote:This year's Asimov debate will center on the recent observation of neutrinos that appear to be travelling faster than the speed of light. Participating in the debate are some of the experimentalists who made the observations, their strongest critics, and members of other research teams that are working to reproduce last year's faster-than-light findings. It's shaping up to be one hell of a discussion - and to top it all off, the whole thing will be hosted and moderated by Neil deGrasse Tyson.LINK: Neil deGrasse Tyson to host tonight’s Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm
