Watch This When You're High - The Concept Of "Nothing"

Shout out to commenter @sociopath87 for this suggestion. 

What a mind fuck. 

Isaac Asimov was an American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, widely recognized for his works in science fiction and popular science literature. Born on January 2, 1920, in Petrovichi, Russia, Asimov grew up in the United States and became one of the most prolific writers of all time. 

Asimov often explored profound and complex scientific and philosophical ideas in his writings. For example, in his science fiction, he delved into concepts like the nature of consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the vastness of the universe, all of which might touch on philosophical considerations of "nothingness" or "void" in a broader sense.

In his popular science writings, Asimov explained and contemplated various scientific principles, from the Big Bang theory to the nature of atoms, where concepts of "empty space" or "vacuum" are actually relevant. 

Source - The concept of nothing is as old as zero itself. 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.

Join moderator and Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson as he leads a spirited discussion with a group of physicists, philosophers and journalists about the existence of nothing. The event, which was streamed live to the web, took place at the American Museum of Natural History on March 20, 2013.

PANELISTS:

J. Richard Gott, professor of astrophysical sciences, Princeton University, and author of Sizing Up the Universe: The Cosmos in Perspective

Jim Holt, science journalist and author of Why Does the World Exist? An Existential Detective Story

Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics, Arizona State University and author of A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather Than Nothing

Charles Seife, professor of journalism, New York University, and author of Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

Eve Silverstein, professor of physics, Stanford University, and co-editor of Strings, Branes and Gravity

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.

P.s. - Asimov also predicted the future pretty dead on 40 years ago

Keep the suggestions coming. Keep them classy, no butt stuff.
