Interested in nothing? Then tune in to this year's Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, the topic of which is the existence of...nothing, on amnh.org/live.
How do we grapple with the concept of nothing? From the best laboratory vacuums on Earth to the vacuum of space to what lies beyond, the idea of nothing continues to intrigue professionals and the public alike.
The debate, moderated by Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson at the American Museum of Natural History, starts tonight, March 20, at 7:30 pm EDT on amnh.org/live.
The late Dr. Isaac Asimov, one of the most prolific and influential authors of our time, was a dear friend and supporter of the American Museum of Natural History. In his memory, the Hayden Planetarium is honored to host the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate—generously endowed by relatives, friends, and admirers of Isaac Asimov and his work—bringing the finest minds in the world to the Museum each year to debate pressing questions on the frontier of scientific discovery. Proceeds from ticket sales of the Isaac Asimov Memorial Debates benefit the scientific and educational programs of the Hayden Planetarium.
