Neil deGrasse Tyson Interview Horizon (Part 1/3)

Ted Simons interviews a shining star in the universe of astrophysics, Neil deGrasse Tyson. The author and host of PBS NOVA ScienceNOW talks about what sparked his interest in the cosmos. Ted also asks what Tyson has against Pluto, the celestial body that was discovered at Flagstaff's Lowell Observatory.

Ripped this video from AZPBS to make it more public. The video was by no means easy to access so it would only be appropriate to make it more accessible.

[Brainkiller]

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the best

[Swamoez0rs]

Couldn't agree with you more Brainkiller ;D

Im also so jealous of Neil having experienced such a stimulative encounter with Carl Sagan.

Although Im scared if I ever "get over" this "barrier" of slack. I catch myself too many times on taking the easy way out and waiting for someone to clear the road ahead of me from bumps.. ;<

[ttwilkable]

love the work here

[TheShellinder]

This guy inspires me and makes me wish I kept watching the cosmos when I was a child. I grew out of it as time went on.

[MsPinecone123]

Wow Carl Sagan showed him around Cornell nothing could be cooler. Ever.

[annoythefish]

Im glad carl sagan comes in multiple colors

@pfolan1 Technicality troll coming in here, but I'm not trying to be a dick, I promise.

I think you mean theory rather then theorem. What's the difference you ask? Theorem is a mathematical construct, and a theory is used in reference to a scientific theory. Pythagorean theorem is a good well known example of a theorem while evolution is a good well known example of a scientific theory.

:D

I love NGT's passion.

Nice to see the Sagan's successor giving tribute to him. They just announced there remaking cosmos with Dr Tyson as the host. The only one for it.

Thanks MicroHive for all three parts, what a great upload. This should be on the homepage of YT so people have the opportunity to watch an inspiring pioneer in the field of Astrophysics, Science has a bad reputation for egocentric scientists who argue over theorems and problems, Mr Tyson however makes the whole subject seem no more complex than rules of a football or basketball game.

[J450]

The fact that he got that kind of treatment from Carl Sagan makes me rage with jealousy... Neil you lucky bastard.

[suthernator]

When Neil Tyson makes words its magical.
