Maher seems to be unmoved and indifferent to the passion that that Neil has for science and discovery... furthermore, the nominal cost of advancing knowledge verses bailing out wall street crooks should seal the deal.
@OccamsKatana Every day he writes, speaks, and works, he is continuing to inspire the next Neil Degrasse Tyson. In fact, I myself went to law school so I could advocate pro-science causes more effectively. I'm not a scientist, but I have still been inspired to both dream and do my part.
Kind of redundant with the use of "egregious" and "cunt", right? But my last comment may have been a bit crass on my part. Maybe I should take a class in learning how to deal with others. But in any case, my apologies for my previous remark. I am just noting that they were jovial when those comments were made; it wasn't a comment of complete and total distrust of what he was saying.
Now you've taken it too far. I tried to be a bit nice to a rather barn yard animal like yourself, but seeing as you are both uncivil and stupid, I will say this once. It seems you have a hard time understanding others, and instead of trying to at least ATTEMPT to understand with such a minuscule mindset, you instead lash out like some animal whose only brain wave mechanisms only allow it to resort to a rather debase form of thought process, i.e. the banal emotions. Learn your place!
Look.... I'm a person of color, and I didn't find it offensive at all. The fact is, Tyson was using the speech cadence you usually hear in religious preachers but instead of religion, he was talking about science.
I thought it was very stimulating, and not at all racist.
Also, Bill is being serious when he says that. Just because you make a joke about something doesn't mean you don't care about it or are ignorant of it.
@Darusdei I don't think he was saying, "Take the money for troops defending us from terrorism and give it to NASA", he was trying to put into perspective how relatively little science initiatives cost compared to defense and debatable government bailouts of banks.
@toAdmiller well i was being sarcastic and aren't even american. it's just amusing how much you could've done with the money but instead it has all gone to fireworks
@toAdmiller Do you really still think that USA is in Afghanistan to protect you from terrorism?. See, this is the problem with thats facing USA, too much stupidity and ignorance promoted from mayor media.
@Darusdei You do realize the critical role communication satellites, space technology, and aeronautics play in the fight against terrorism, right? No? Of course not.
Here's your answer Neil to your question about "why not fund the Hubble" ...God created the Universe so we don't need to check...LMFAO. Who needs science when you have the Bibleright? Speaking of which; one of my "Born-Again" friends said she doesn't need scientific evidence or proof there's God...she just feels it. I said the only time "feelings" and God factor in for me is when I'm having an orgasm ;)
Just to clarify, I did the calculation and what Neil deGrasse Tyson MEANT to say is correct. He MEANT to say our NATIONAL DEBT (ROUGHLY 15 TRILLION) is 4 earth-moon distances. So really we could go there and back twice. A trillion dollars reaches about a 1/4 of the way to the moon.
@ThoughtGaze Also, he DOES mean the THICKNESS of the dollar bill. No balancing act needed here. Well for earth-moon distance you'd have a tremendous balancing act regardless how you stack it. lol.
@zaelie yeah to point out blacks have you seen the living conditions I think for ones your talking about?... some might not even have the opportunity to even know as much as some kids know based on where they are,what living conditions and who raises them.
why black? americans and their racism - always have to divide the people. and then they have the balls to say that people around them are racists but not them in particular. oh the stupidity...
STOP dividing - maybe people around you will follow your example.
@skaloon You just made a statement suggesting that Americans are more racist than other nations. Good job leading by example and not "dividing the people." Go find a mirror and look in it.
nah not really i used statistics to say that. on top of that - americans are the ones who divided themselves from the rest of the world. i'm merely pointing out a flaw in majority of americans - but i don't rate them as bad, evil or worse or whatever. just a flaw in their belief system.
william maher is an ass in this interview with Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Wtf is this preach it brother shit? Tyson is passionate about the cosmos as we all are. William isnt. You can see the disrespect on Tyson's face at the end. Watch Tyson, not Maher.
@aiyic Quite the opposite, I feel it elevated him to a high status. It sounded to him like Neil was saying the the first real awe inspiring speech Bill has heard in a long time. We certainly do need a preacher of science like Mr.Tyson.
@DamienZshadow I wish that were the case, but it smacked of patronising tone to me. Don't forget, Maher considers himself a libertarian, hence, is not big on NASA-esque bodies. Tomayto, tomato suppose!
@aiyic Yes and he's also a comedian and entertainer. Not necessarily a good one but he acts just like every other talk show host I have seen. Someone is saying or demonstrating something amazing and they always have to add some kind of commentary on the side as joke, even if it is supporting or apparently patronizing. Either way, I want to throw in a hallelujah every time I hear Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
The Trillion dollar bills to the moon 4 times thing.. I did check it out.. The moon is 384,403 kilometers away on average.. and a brand new dollar bill is 1/3 of a millimeter.. 384,403 kilometers = 384,403,000,000 millimeters divide that by 3 = 128,134,333,333.33 multiply that by 8 (4 round trips to the moon) 1,025,074,666,666.667 it is very close to accurate.. 1 trillion 25 billion 74 million 666 thousand 666 dollar bills would make the round trip to the moon 4 times.
@agronoxdt I did it as well and it seems one of us has an error. If a dollar bill is 1/3 mm thick, that means 10^12 dollar bills would be 333,333,333,333mm = 333,333km. Which is less than one trip to the moon if the mean distance to the moon is 384,403km.
@UCMolosser ahh he means width not depth... do the calculation using the dollar bills one on top of the other balanced (somehow) on the edge then u will see he is correct... although i think only neil would be the only one who could figure out how to balance that many on top of each other though so don't try it at home :p
@connorp2402 That would make more sense, but a dollar bill is 66.3mm wide. So 10^12 dollar bills stacked width-wise would be 66,300,000,000,000mm -> 66,300,000km. Dividing that by the given distance to the moon (384,403km) gives 172.48 trips which would be about 86 round trips. Still doesn't work.
@UCMolosser Happy christmas btw :) and :O im sure i checked it and got 8.3 or something i was going to give u the size i used as well just to prove :S hmm how did I get that as being 4 times lol ... i hounestly dont know tbh
@imcrazy85 Of course. It's always the same with you conspiracy theorists, when anybody presses you to defend your claims you never, NEVER manage to say anything meaninful. "yes dumbass it that in images if the person wants to see" doesn't mean a thing, I'm only asking you to rephrase it, maybe in understandable english. Can you do it?
@imcrazy85 No, people call that lack of the ability of making understandable sentences. "yes dumbass its that in images if the person wants to see" STILL doesn't mean anything. Are you trying to say that you can google "secret nasa planes" and find images that show you secret nasa planes...but only if you WANT to see them? Is that your point?
what show is this and why was Neil on it speaking to a bunch of retarded farts? sorry im from spain so i dont really know what was going on, but i do know who neil degrasse is i love this man! that lady next to him is such a wannabe wise ass who only understands how to be a bitch, she reminds me of your typical "American buisness women" trampling others to get to where she wants.
@SCOPLAChina However, if you lay them end to end you get about 970,000 miles which is a bit more than 4x the distance of the moon from earth. He misspoke and said "stacked" instead of "laid end to end." The example still serves his purpose.
Once children wanted to be astronauts and visit the stars...now they want to be 'celebrities'..not celebrities as in people with talent and skills such as singing, dancing, acting or writing, no...degenerate common people who become famous solely for being famous and perpetuate their 'status' with their idiocy and anti-intellectualism; Where they are not rightly scrutinized and mocked for being such poor examples of humanity, rather admired and idolized..oh what a world we live in.
@TheIslammiracle You can't speak for children. The people that watch shows like Kardashians are housewives that want a little drama to break the monotony. I've spent a lot of time with 100's of kids and teens in the past year and most of them couldn't name more than 5 celebrities (I literally asked them to)
I swear the comments im reading about the trillion dollar fact to the moon, if that's all you got from a man that's awesome enough to bringing forth, the proper way to think about bringing future knowledge of science, to the general public. Then you definitely shouldn't be posting stupid comments.
I watched this in full screen mode so I could not see the comments. I came here to say WE NEED A PREACHER OF SCIENCE! and look at that. Someone already said it and it's the top comment. So what do we need? I hope you see this Neil.
@e2004657 to add to that, not just for president but how about we have a congress and senate that has more than just lawyers and businessmen/women? More science literacy to represent our nation is a great thing! I would love to run for congress....but I am not a millionaire. It doesn't seem right to me that the majority of people whom hold a seat in D.C. are wealthy. There is something wrong with that. Wealth should not represent our country.

@Romansteel13 No doubt there are better physicists, but they are unknown to us because they don't know how, nor care to make science accessible and interesting to us. Therein lies the value of Neil and Michio.
Though I'm not much of a Michio Kaku fan. He seems like a sensationalist who makes crap up to make science sound cool.
@Aldridge517 It was mentioned that he is going to start a sequel to Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV series from back in the late 70's/80's... I don't know about anyone else but, I'm super stoked on this! ^_^
Neil is wrong about a stack of one trillion dollar bills reaching the moon and back four times.
The thickness of a US one dollar bill ≈ 0.0043 inches
The distance to the moon at its closest point ≈ 221,000 miles
0.0043 inches * one trillion ≈ 68,000 miles
The height of a stack of one dollar bills equal to the United States' debt ($14 trillion) would be four times the distance to the moon, which is likely what he was thinking.
@shihalude A president in my opinion SHOULD NOT be a politician. I want a president that actually cares about future of the country and not just some douche who is out of touch with reality and is bought by corporations.
@shihalude Amen. We don't WANT or NEED any more politicians in the world. There are plenty already. The US was not founded by politicians, but by intelligent men who had other professions, science among them.
I want a NON-politician to run my country, not another Republican or Democrat with a pretty face.

I love Neil deGrasse Tyson but I had to fact check his trillion $ comment:

Distance to the moon = 225,290 miles (at Perigee)
Inches from earth to moon: 14274374400 (based off Perigee)
$3,311,654,860,800 to reach the moon one way
$26,493,238,886,400 for 4 round trips
***Above facts are based off of NASA and US Treasury department measurements***

I think Neil is wrong about 1 trillion dollar bills to the moon reference.
According to the US treasury, you can fit 223 dollar bills in a 1 inch stack.
There are 63,360 inches in 1 mile. That means that you can stack 14,129,280 dollar bills into a mile high stack.
The distance from the moon to earth is 225,622 miles+.
225,622 x 14,129,280= over 3 trillion.
That means it takes 3 trillion dollar bills for just a ONE WAY trip to the moon.
Someone please tell me if i'm doing the math wrong.

QUICK FACT:
The thickness of a dollar bill is about 0.1 mm.
Distance from Earth to Moon is about 384,400 km.
1,000,000,000,000 (1 Trillion) x 0.1 mm = 100,000,000,000 mm
100,000,000,000 mm / 1,000 mm (1 meter) = 100,000,000 m
100,000,000 m / 1,000 m (1 kilometer) = 100,000 km
100,000 km / 384,400 km is about 0.26
1 Trillion of one dollar bill would only make 1/4 of the way to Moon.
Aw, why Neil?! Still love you though, NOVA scienceNOW FTW!

@SCOPLAChina However, if you lay them end to end you get about 970,000 miles which is a bit more than 4x the distance of the moon from earth. He misspoke and said "stacked" instead of "laid end to end." The example still serves his purpose.

Once children wanted to be astronauts and visit the stars...now they want to be 'celebrities'..not celebrities as in people with talent and skills such as singing, dancing, acting or writing, no...degenerate common people who become famous solely for being famous and perpetuate their 'status' with their idiocy and anti-intellectualism; Where they are not rightly scrutinized and mocked for being such poor examples of humanity, rather admired and idolized..oh what a world we live in.

@e2004657 to add to that, not just for president but how about we have a congress and senate that has more than just lawyers and businessmen/women? More science literacy to represent our nation is a great thing! I would love to run for congress....but I am not a millionaire. It doesn't seem right to me that the majority of people whom hold a seat in D.C. are wealthy. There is something wrong with that. Wealth should not represent our country.

@Romansteel13 No doubt there are better physicists, but they are unknown to us because they don't know how, nor care to make science accessible and interesting to us. Therein lies the value of Neil and Michio.
Though I'm not much of a Michio Kaku fan. He seems like a sensationalist who makes crap up to make science sound cool.
Neil Tyson on the other hand is EPIC!

Neil is wrong about a stack of one trillion dollar bills reaching the moon and back four times.
The thickness of a US one dollar bill ≈ 0.0043 inches
The distance to the moon at its closest point ≈ 221,000 miles
0.0043 inches * one trillion ≈ 68,000 miles
The height of a stack of one dollar bills equal to the United States' debt ($14 trillion) would be four times the distance to the moon, which is likely what he was thinking.
