Debate on FTL Neutrinos hosted by Neil Degrasse Tyson
Goddammit this is going to be the middle of the night for me, and I'll miss it, but it'll probably be very interesting.

Debate Participants
Dr. David Cline, Department of Physics and Astronomy, UCLA
Dr. Gian Giudice, Theoretical Physics Division, CERN
Dr. Sheldon Glashow, Department of Physics, Boston University
Dr. Chris Hegarty, MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development
Dr. Laura Patrizii, Department of Physics, University of Bologna
Dr. Gabriela Gonzalez, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University


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.

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

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.

*bump
The thingy starts in 10. Do you want to see smart and charismatic people talk about interesting things? Then click the linky.
So these philosophers were all like, "That Kant apply universally!" And then these mathematicians were all like, "Oh yes it Kan!"
