Rose Center Anniversary Isaac Asimov Debate: Is Earth Unique?

Watch the 2020 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate on Alien Life: • 2020 Isaac Asimov Memo...
Join astrophysicist and Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson as he hosts and moderates a panel discussion dedicated to the perennial question "Is Earth Unique?" With what we now know about the stars in our galaxy and the planets that orbit them, we can begin to address this question with informed debate.
Panelists are selected for their diverse expertise in geology, biology, chemistry, and physics and for the ways they have applied these fields to address the past, present, and future of planet Earth.
This event is a special Asimov Panel Debate in celebration of the Rose Center's 10th Anniversary. For more information, visit www.amnh.org

I like these aswell. Shame Neil's mic is about 5x as loud as that of the others...

[@sieracki001]

Neil is the "great interruptor"

[@csmyth3025]

"...You have to believe objects made you to believe evolution..."
Well...you have to believe that a magical invisible father figure made you to believe in creationism.
That sounds pretty baseless, irrational and illogical to me.

THEIR WATERBOTTLES LOOK SCARY AS HELLLLL

[@JohnCahillChapel]

NDG never needs his mic volume turned up like this. It’s not good for his image. It would also help if he sat with the guys.

[@Cameldactyl]

It's a rock Jim.

[@keithhull6749]

Turn Tyson's mic down, way down.

[@AaronBrownStudios]

socks and sandals ftw

[@waywardsuol]

How dare he refer to Bon Jovi as heavy metal.

[@gabrieldunn7384]

Tyson turned his own microphone up to hear himself better ? LOLOL.

[@leftyshawenuph4026]

Neil's mic is at 10. The 4 panelists also get 10, but have to divide between themselves.

These Asimov debates, and also "The Great Debate" episodes at ASU with Krauss are truly wonderful discussions! I watch/listen to many of these debates in the background at work!

[@jonnynelson5734]

I love these Asimov debates so thank you for the upload! Keep up the good work!

[@leonardoaraujo8364]

Great debate. Amazing to see How Scientists argument with each other. How they address the problems, the questions and the possible solutions and the limitation of the knowledge.

[@mathiasmoser4102]

this is one of my favorite asimov debates, they all have very interesting things to say, especially the biogeochemist (wouldnt know how to spell his name and its not in the info) blew my mind!

[@Zerepzerreitug]

Great talk. I greatly enjoyed it. And while I agree Tyson's microphone volume was quite a headache, I thought it was bearable enough to enjoy the talk.

[@ClintonAllenAnderson]

This is a wonderful discussion but the audio quality disparity is most unfortunate.

[@CaminoAir]

What I wouldn't give to be able to hear Asimov himself and Sagan speaking at this meeting. Great idea to have these debates in memory of Asimov and his life's work.

[@ZachRose88]

Science. Science. Science. I can't get enough. Keep the uploads coming! I greatly appreciate them.
