The revelation that neutrinos may be able to move faster than the speed of light rocked the scientific community — until it was discovered that may not have been the case after all. This year’s Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate takes on this very question itself. The debate will be hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium (and upcoming On The Verge guest), and will feature top minds from UCLA, CERN, Boston University, and several others. It’s happening right now, so hurry over to the American Museum of Natural History’s site to see the debate unfold.
