What do you think should be the role of roundtables, if any, on this issue . We thought that was a very good question. Civil war buffs, who know more about the general public, what should we do about this issue . Tom, i will ask you first. Professor brown [indiscernible] if you think that you are keeping taught six out of it, keeping politics out of it, youre probably kidding yourself. My device would be to try to have an environment in which you can have political discussions and recognize it is a political discussion. Tim. Professor sedore no question. I dont see how you can avoid politics in the war. But roundtables have a really gratifying ability and im aware of how a different perspective can be brought in a certain sense.

Host dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, in your new book, astrophysics for people in a hurry, you open it by saying that the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. What does that mean .
