Hey people with problems on Earth. When it comes to that dreaded day, in which the world ends, and we didn't fund NASA or other space programs, and we don't have any planet to escape to, then you will have much larger problems than the ones you have now.
Neil Degrasse Tyson is in the same league as Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan. He's so much like Feynman. That's what we need today, a preacher of Science!

I'm from a Muslim background, now a skeptic. The story of the Islamic age of enlightenment did have a theological component but it coincided with an economic downturn as well. A deadly concoction. But I seriously doubt that anything like that will happen in America. In every society there are forces that threaten progress, but the Al-Ghazalis in America are not winning, skepticism is increasing and the internet is far too ingrained to allow any segment to dominate.
Take Bill O'Reilly for example - he isn't championed, he is far more satirized than respected. America will not collapse into a dark ages of oblivion, it will most likely just whither and stabilize into a 'great' power rather than a 'super' power. With the rise of other nation's science institutions and the continued status of Europe, I am quite optimistic that overall - the direction is onwards and upwards without relent.
I hope the physcopath elite arent watching this, because if they did, they are probably going to be up all night trying to discover technology to alter asteroids trajectories so they can nudge that sucker JUST enough to score a touchdown through that "keyhole" giving them 7 years after to build their space ships with telescopes to watch the impact from orbit.
Yes, they are probably having wild fantasies about it right now.
@rustyscrapper In fact, I think ill take my chances with the 1 in a million lottery, because I know how our supposed "leaders" operate. If you hear politicians fear mongering the need to have asteroid deflection technology out of no where, you KNOW it is because their masters want a guarenteed hit from this thing. Otherwise politicians would be silent on the issue unless they are paid to not be.
i love my nigga tyson,, he is the man, he is one of the coolest smart people everrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i mean i think all smart people are cool but he is the best of west, so west side brother.
Neil deGrasse Tyson's lectures are like chocolate cake for the brain. It may not be the healthiest food, but it will surely fill you up and make you happy. :D
I understand nutrition information gives the measure of various nutrients in grams, but the energy content is still kcals. If NI was completely metric it would be in joules, right? Much love and respect to NDT, just sayin.
@jakec916 That's mostly myth. Yes, some you can distinguish, but even then it's a best guess scenario. I'm Korean myself and it's a 50/50 guess for me when trying to discern the different Asians.
something to do with our mind being able to think and wonder
to do with us seeing with our eyes and them being spherical which distorts the universe..
telescope lenses...
and what if our universe only expanded until there were enough black holes created to suck it all up back together. have another big bang and start it all over again.
a black hole might be able to think just as we are able to think.
we have not figured out what makes us wonder. have we?
Dr Tyson should have gone into more definition with regards to Infrared light. Us human can detect Infrared light, whenever you feel the heat from a lightbulb beaming on your skin. A majority of that heat is carried the infrared light from that bulb.
0:41:45 - 0:45:55 this is the reason why we must fight against religion and by fighting against i don't mean by beating religious people but by drowning them in logic :)
Just watch, Neil will be the first person to time travel and he will visit Newton. Finding him to be a mediocre scientist, Neil will give him all of his knowledge. I've always loved the idea that certain breakthroughs are a result of a circular paradox.
his point to the (semi) valid question at 37mins 45seconds about the NASA budget against the US tax funding by showing a $1 bill (in his jovial but straight up style) is absolutely brilliant - he is the perfect physicists and laymens devil advocate and all round good guy.... thoroughly respectful, enlightening and funny... great video!
@toverkleet will the language change so that instead of saying that we are inching our way towards something, we will say we are "centimetering" our way? I don't think so. But other than that and trying to get my head around Fahrenheit vs. Celsius, the metric system is clearly preferable.
I think the girl who asked the first question is cute and she seems to be smart. I'd ask her out if I knew who she was. She seemed nervous but who wouldn't be? You're having a conversation with Neil deGrasse Tyson about Newton. I would be moved as well.
@itdavi i think she had a hard time phrasing her question because Neil humiliated her by telling her not to say "uhm" and then she spent the rest to the time focusing on not saying it, so she couldn't concentrate on asking her question correctly. but yeh i agree she was cute.
@FlakyBiscuit24 "good lord, that first girl failed so hard. it was awkwardly painful to watch her struggle through her 'question' "
She did ok - he got the idea and went with it. It was a great presentation. Tyson realizes that people often stumble through questions and that sometimes a "question" is a statement and a request for elaboration. Had she asked "why do you think Newton was special", it likely would have had the same effect.
NGT is brilliant, but he's very wrong at 33:50 as he discusses the genesis of Climate Change. A consensus of Global Warming was formed in 1959 as a part of International Geophysical Year. Remember when Donald Fagen sung about it?
@TheEthug Ditto :), his inspirerade alot of people to become astrophysicsists, inclouding myself from being , intressted to really wanna make it as a career. :D
1 think i think he is wrong with . Is not that some verry advanced aliens dont want to talk with us .....if they know about us.Maybe the reason is our society , and they know they would make more harm than good for the moment . You dont talk with a worm becouse he is incapable to have the basic knowledge . We do have the basic knowledge , even tho that alien life would be WAY to advanced for us , they would still want to share words and toughts.Becouse we do have the basics of understanding.
@Molhedim Your comment is exactly why I completely AGREE with Neil on this one topic; Humans are by far too arrogant of themselves to ever believe that there is a more advance species of life forms, such that they think of humans so insignificantly, that they would never bother communicating with us.
I had high hopes for some new Neil Tyson stories when I found this 1.5 hour lecture. Instead the audience asked him to recite his stories about Isaac Newton and his first time in the planetarium once more. Come on, most of the questions he gets here are already covered in other lectures of his. If astrophysicists are one in a million, prepare your questions and don't ask for the tenth time when Neil first got in touch with the universe.
I enjoy listing to Tyson, but he leaves his expertise and looks foolish doing so on the BP question. No Neil, it wouldn't be easier to just collect the oil, instead of plugging the hole (oil well). The hydrocarbons, a mixture of both liquids and gas dissolved in solution, are at much higher temp and pressure than the cold ocean waters. So you've got both boiling and freezing issues to solve. Plus, the stuff begins immediately to degrade and get eaten. Astrophysics can't answer everything.
way to call someone out for having a speech impediment. "LOLOLOL SHE HAS A HARD TIME ASKING A QUESTION IN FRONT OF SMART PEOPLE! LET'S LAUGH AT HER BECAUSE OF ONE OF HER WORDS IS JUST FILLER BECAUSE SHE CAN'T THINK AS FAST AS US! LOLOLOLOLOLOL"
@OpakeArawra2 To start Sentences with "um"s is not a Speech impediment. And Most People might find it funny, because they recognise they themselves use more "um"s than advisable.
wow I couldn't disagree more. It would be a complete waste of time for any actual scientist to debate Hovind, and would only serve to validate him. ("I once had a debate with Neil DeGrasse Tyson! That's how big of a threat I am to the establishment!" ) It would be absolutely beneath Tyson to do that-- he is an educator, not an entertainer.
Chances are there are more than 22,746 potential viewers on this planet. This planet is too large for just having that amount of viewers. We, viewers, should send signals toward the horizon of our environment, find those other life forms and make them all watch this. I suspect there are tons of them in the Bible Belt, for starters.
@Krauz85 Well, was joking for effect with the titles. But really, it's 1 in 250,000 chance if it makes it into a gravitational pathway, which we'll have to wait & see (or do something about it) by 2029, to where it'll impact on 2036. And it wouldn't be an Earth destroyer, per se. Although, the ramifications post-impact could just have a slow-burn type of effect on the planet, starting with the devastation to the marine life, followed by the ecosystem, followed by the entire Earth's environment.

His final comment reminds me of the Monty Python galaxy song.
"Just pray that theres intellegent life somwhere up above.
Cos there's bugger all down here on earth."

I despise people who introduce someone as "the man who needs no introduction", and follow it or precede it with an introduction.

way to call someone out for having a speech impediment. "LOLOLOL SHE HAS A HARD TIME ASKING A QUESTION IN FRONT OF SMART PEOPLE! LET'S LAUGH AT HER BECAUSE OF ONE OF HER WORDS IS JUST FILLER BECAUSE SHE CAN'T THINK AS FAST AS US! LOLOLOLOLOLOL"

@OpakeArawra2 To start Sentences with "um"s is not a Speech impediment. And Most People might find it funny, because they recognise they themselves use more "um"s than advisable.

all world views aside, it would be very interesting to see this guy debate Kent Hovind!

@hurricaneivan117
wow I couldn't disagree more. It would be a complete waste of time for any actual scientist to debate Hovind, and would only serve to validate him. ("I once had a debate with Neil DeGrasse Tyson! That's how big of a threat I am to the establishment!" ) It would be absolutely beneath Tyson to do that-- he is an educator, not an entertainer.

@petion2010 it is a little ironic that while he is thinking about what a worm thinks he ask "who would think about what a worm thinks"

Chances are there are more than 22,746 potential viewers on this planet. This planet is too large for just having that amount of viewers. We, viewers, should send signals toward the horizon of our environment, find those other life forms and make them all watch this. I suspect there are tons of them in the Bible Belt, for starters.

@Krauz85 Well, was joking for effect with the titles. But really, it's 1 in 250,000 chance if it makes it into a gravitational pathway, which we'll have to wait & see (or do something about it) by 2029, to where it'll impact on 2036. And it wouldn't be an Earth destroyer, per se. Although, the ramifications post-impact could just have a slow-burn type of effect on the planet, starting with the devastation to the marine life, followed by the ecosystem, followed by the entire Earth's environment.
