  • In response to @rub1k, Dr. Tyson has a response to that quote about “standing on the shoulders of giants.” /watch?v=YXh9RQCvxmg

    Plug that link in after the .com and go to 1:11:40 where Dr. Tyson challenges that quote. MEANING that Sir Isaac Newton was being the most humble person that a person can be. Enjoy the whole video; it is an interview with Stephen Colbert. I REALLY enjoy listening to Dr. Tyson speak. He is so passionate about the universe and what it means for all of us.

  • Isaac Newton might have been the smartest person ever, EVER to walk the face of this Earth, but as Isaac himself wrote:

    “If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants.”

  • Isaac Newton fanboy lol.

  • You aren't the only one. I really wish there were more questions, because his answers contain lot of information for a astro newbie like me.

  • Just saying he could be more successful and impacting in more abstract fields, seeing as little of his work is actually focused only on astrophysics.

  • Every single human is psychologist or philosopher - just not everybody is good one.

    If you mean professional of that kind.. well it's only about money when you narrow it down.

  • Shame he's an astrophysicist... he'd make an excellent psychologist or philosopher.

  • I really hope I'm not the only one who noticed that these 10 questions were actually just 4 questions.

  • 2:15 What you might be looking for...

  • I'm going to let my kids lay waste to my property from now on. I'll update this post when they're ready for college as to whether they are better for it.
