- It’s grab bag time! Because we get so many questions submitted for our numerous Cosmic Queries episodes, we can never get to them all. Enter the Grab Bag Edition. On this episode of StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are answering an eclectic set of fan-submitted questions covering topics from all across the spectrum of science.
We start with a fan-favorite topic: black holes. Can anything survive a black hole? Neil explains why it’s all fun and games until the tidal forces kick in. You’ll learn more about the general theory of relativity, string theory, Hawking radiation, and whether particles can reach the speed of light while falling into a black hole. You’ll also learn how we now know that a black hole isn’t a portal.
Next, which would be a more groundbreaking discovery: understanding dark matter or discovering extraterrestrial life? Neil tells us why that depends on what we discover about dark matter. We explore DNA-based life and the possibilities of whether it could exist elsewhere in the universe. Find out about colonizing other planets and why Antarctica can shed light on humans traveling to Mars.
We discuss the variations in budget for science vs. military funding. Neil explains why humanity has lost a few centuries of growth due to people standing in denial of natural forces relative to the supernatural. We investigate the horizon problem. Discover how astronomers concluded that the edge of the observable universe is 43 billion light years away.
Lastly, we reflect on the work of Sir Isaac Newton. How was he able to stay focused on his work while a plague was happening? All that, plus, Neil shares his thoughts on the simulation theory and we ponder ways to make science more popular with the public.

I'm almost 50 years old. I'm going back to school to study physics. My kids have left home, at last. Thanks for waking my love for science. Love the show.
I will be 70 in two years. I also have kids.
Nobody can stop you learning.
NDG is a great educator and communicator.
I would vote for him as world president if that was possible.
Sam O Neill g*
Respect!
@@Witnessdomaining Thank you. That's very kind. 😊
Wishing you much success! Never too late to start. :)
"maybe science needs better advertising"
That's why we need people like you, Neil.
Science really needs a lot of advertising honestly
6:35 *if a black hole rips the atoms appart, what would happen if you drop a nuke into it? would it blow because of all the rippin'? Would an atomic explosion have any kind of (visual) effect we are used to see here on Earth? How would it look like and behave?*
Yes, Neil should do his part of bringing awareness to The Younger Dryas Impact Theory.
@Timothy Somerville Source please
Dude you can help so much to ground the public into reality
13:05 Neil just explained something so mind expanding to Chuck, that he had to use his ink pen in his ear, to hit the reset button for his brain, in order to finish the download & process all the new information he had just received! 😄
I just saw that and immediately went to the comments to see if anyone said anything about it!
😂😂
xD
XD
did he put the lid on the pen before resetting? 🙂 lol
Me: *wants to sleep*
Star talk: *releases a new grab bag episode*
Me: I don't need sleep i need *gALacTIc gUmBO*
Is this a joke ?
No, it’s real and it’s true
My stomach is an endless pit!
Imagine, Gordon Ramsey making galactic gumbo 🤔
@@RizzyTizzyLando On Star Talk!
Ahhhhhh..... I can't explain my joy I mean it fells like an honour to watch star talk ☆
I just love listening to these two geniuses in their own right; Chuck is so into it and is learning more and more every podcast.
@@spectre2776 Yeah!!
It totally does
zombie cupcake b ibi
Chuck is so bright and like an extension of us, who are learning more about physics thru his chats with Dr. Tyson.
You and Chuck r keeping me sane during Quarantine 😭
Seems about right, 'bout the same thing over here.
I'm an essential worker and I love listening to star talk while I work
Dude you can help so much to ground the public to reality
Ray Ruiz what does being essential worker have to do with anything?😂 this is about science , keep your politics out, and let me enjoy the video haha
@J. Dizzle , gullible and dumb as a box of rocks. Dear goddess, how unfortunate.
Neil, I used to have a science teacher that used to say pointed out that everything is science. By pointing that out, I started looking at the world differently and trying to find the scientific reason behind everything that I saw. Thanks to things like Google and the Internet, science has been categorized to make it easier to find the scientific papers behind my questions. I still have more questions, but I try to find the science behind them all.
Zak Hooper u joined u tube on day I was born
If neil degrasse tyson was my science physics or astronomy teacher i would take that class as many times as possible and even be willing to do his extra credit. he just makes everything so interesting and easy to follow
It's also optional to listen to him on YT, and we choose to. When in school, stuff is more or less obligatory, hence less appealling.
Yippee 🙌 🎉
@@matejlaskomulejI think a great teacher is hard to find
I found this channel a few days ago and it's already become a favorite of mine. I could listen to Neil talk for hours.
Wow. I can’t believe it took you so long. This is a great podcast for our general education. Check out the many great StarTalk podcasts.
Wow I can't see how long to not found out there actor's...bet you are scared of the VIRUUUUS
Have you seen Neil’s show Cosmos, I’d recommend it.
Welcome to the Geekeverse.
Welcome to the family Toon Link!
I liked the last segment, I always wanted to learn more about how these geniuses like Newton learned his discoveries. I hope they talk more about this topic in the next season of Cosmos
Has top dark.
I have the same thoughts. I wish Elon Musk would talk more about his own creative powers but he seems to underestimate himself whenever he talks lol. We need to do a brain scan on him.
There is a next season of cosmos coming? That's amazing
He already gave the answer. Get off the computer, turn off the T.V., turn off your phone and go sit under a tree somewhere for a year and think about whatever it is you want to understand. Of course having the necessary mathematical, chemical or physics education to work with you will have something to think about. Otherwise you'll probably just re-invent the wheel.
Isaac Newton was an satisfactory thinker….
"[...] we probably lost a few centuries in the history of civilization because of people standing in denial of the role of natural forces relative to supernatural ones." - that needs a shirt
In Carl Sagan's COSMOS (although I think Neil said something similar in his) the destruction of the library of Alexandria was devastating to our scientific understanding. That's kinda depressing to think about (assuming you were still born) we could be living in a time of consumer interstellar travel already
Yea is called Religion, the worse Plaque to this Planet
@@TheSoy1313 the worst plague.
a plaque is not that bad. usually.
Marvin Minsky also said that before it was cool.
Wolf Lord not just Christianity every religion is equally responsible for the delay
Love the dynamic between Tyson and Chuck. Very educational and hilarious podcast.
42:28 "and had already discovered the laws of *optics* , how was he so *focused* "
A great unintended pun goes unnoticed ;)
I watch Star Talk almost every night while I fall asleep. It's so entertaining and educational, and fascinating.
I laugh, giggle and go hmmmph 🤔 learning new things while my melatonin kicks in. I never finished the whole episode so I replaced the whole week lol.
Thanks to check Neil and all his guests for something so enjoyable. I appreciate all of you so much.
Your personalities are so different but so great and likable. Truly the perfect pair for these videos
Those talks......those Q&A......those friendly intellectual & creative thinking sessions.....are delightful moments of listening for me in my day....passionate creative science brains brainstorming about possibilities....THIS IS NECESSARY FOR A HIGHER CONSCIENCE HUMANITY. it nourishes our brains !!!!! keep on doing it again guys
18:35 Of all the subjects you've discussed. I've never seen Chuck so seriously engaged as this discussion about Gumbo.
And Neil is visibly upset that Chuck knows WAY more about gumbo than he does.
Been binge watching you neil for the lock down! Cosmos and star talk with Mr Nice.
Thank you to you both for giving me knowledge and a smile!
Rona times ain't that bad with you two....
It's too bad there aren't more professors with Neils personality and enthusiasm. Thanks guys!
Waking up to find a Star Talk episode just makes me so happy!
Smh you're so corny 😂😂
Me too. I try to wait as long as I can sometimes so I don't leave myself without for the rest of the day or two. Not much intrests me.
Last time I was this early the universe hadn’t started yet.
Tyrone Sanchez So that was last thursday?
XtreeM FaiL lol
So that makes you important! You really contributed.
New episode notification and dinner's ready 👍
I love watching Chuck's learning, the more of these that he does, the more he grasps, and can make leaps to join information.
Much love to you both 💛
Right? Seeing Chuck have these "oh! I have an experience I relate to this!" and get so excited...its just so great to watch! I'm an educator and I LIVE for those moments with my students.
@@jasong9492 totally, I teach a few odd subjects, and finding ways to get these moments are the best.
@@stirwoodcraft I work at a Therapeutic day school and the class I work in has 6 kids grades 9 - 11.
@@jasong9492 I used to work at a therapeutic care home, kids aged 9 to 16, now I teach outdoor living skills and spoon carving, it's not exactly astrophysics, but it excites me.
You're so right. I've commented the same sentiment before; Chuck's knowledge and retention of facts that he learned in past episodes is really amazing. Very often, Neil will be talking about, or ask, something and Chuck knows far more than just the basics of many topics. It is truly impressive.
These guys are the best ever. The combination of silly and also sophisticated humor, science, humanism. I suffer insomnia and they help me so much through the dark hours. I love them. So decent but also intelligent and informed. Something is right with the world after all.
Neil Tyson: *explains matter and antimatter particle pairs expelled from black holes*
My brain: **does the mental equivalent of falling down the stairs**
Chuck spends so much time talking science with Neil that he probably knows more than a lot of PhD scientists by now... Love the show guys!
Neil! I have been contemplating the cosmos alone at home for several months. We are almost three years into this pandemic and I’m still in my head trying to understand myself and the universe.
I have been working on a theory about SpaceTime and what Time actually is and how it relates to Blackholes and the 4th special dimension. Everything you have said resonates with me and what I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I’m allowing my creativity to flow and expand. I’m motivated by this and am going to work on this and show you what my theory is as soon as I can.
I’m so excited to continue to discover new things and contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the universe. I am eager to share so l hope you and whoever else will at least listen. Thank you for your inspiration.
🤯🤯🤯 lol, impressive. Good luck amigo!!
Chuck and Neil are the BEST advertising for science. If I saw this when I was younger I would be an astrophysicist.
"what we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean" - dark
YESSSSSSS
Maybe there is a limit to knowledge in life. Maybe the whole point in life is to enjoy life, survive and grow as a species.
The ocean is just lots of drops...
@@tylerscudder9358 wat....
or When we know about drop... There is an ocean also😁
I love StarTalk
Not here we're not Neil and Chuck....here were binch watching StarTalk and other similar channels plus several history channels! Love my universe and my history, my two favourite subjects throughout my school years....
Proud to be a Patreon....never stop to inspire to look up and to laugh!
Stay safe and take care! 🤗🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻🍕
I love Chuck Nice! He is hilarious, perfect combo with Tyson!
I really don't. He's not very funny and he eats up a lot of time yapping and distracting Neil from answering more questions from all those folks that he always says they don't get to. I like what they are trying to do...I'm just not a big fan of Mr. Nice. Cheers!
@@thurney4343 Interesting. Yeah, I love Tyson and would like to listen to him drop knowledge all day, but I think having the comic relief makes it more interesting and also brings it to a broader audience. I get what you are saying though, sometimes he goes a little too far, but I feel it's a nice yin and yang so to speak. :)
Spaghetti: Exist immune to black holes. Chuck: NO ONE THING SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH POWER!
Yeah but the meatballs would be utterly ravaged.
I'm sorry to ruin your joke, but I think he meant the black hole.
he's too dangerous to be kept alive.
Rage Ha! Ha! Yes, and spaghetti wouldn’t last in a black hole but nah fam, I knew the context. I hope it doesn’t ruin the joke either way.
Ok but I have seen the explainer for the simulation video and would love to hear what has change Dr. Tyson's mind
It happens to me too, I've already tried to find it when I watched Kyle Hill's reply video (czcams.com/video/KPXMFRLltw0/video.html) but didn't find it. If someone does, please share it.
One has to admire the way science it's explained by Dr. Neil, but Chuck is the voice of us all.
I wish you guys could come to Brazil so we could spend one day just eating barbecue, drinking beer and talking about the cosmos... Thanks for all..
i can never stress this enough, in my highscool years i never got interested in physics or math, im 19 now and thanks to you and other physicists I've decided to study astrophysics
speaking of science advertising, i remember an argument with a flat earther. others tried to convince him with facts about science and i simply said "if the scientists who invented cars, planes, trains, phones, tv, radio, computers and the internet say the earth is round, why would i believe a random guy on the internet with not a single credential to his name who says the earth is flat?"
Love ya Chuck & Neil, hello from Canada ❤️✨✨
Keep looking up everone!!!
I'll finish watching this video before I turn off the TV to access my deep thinking in solitude. Thanks for the reminder. 💜💡
This is entertaining and educational at the same time, who could want more.
Look at Neil's two inverted bird paintings on his wall, representing the particles and anti-particles in the beginning of the universe.
What a baller xD
It’s actually a bird eating a fish done by a Native American artist...nothing to do with particles or anti particles😂😂
Love this show. Science is great because we are science 👍🏿
Sitting here, loving the show, learning and laughing with you guys. Much love guys, much love.
We love you guys! Woohoo!!
Last time I was this early there was “So long and thanks for all the fish” scribbled in the CMB from the previous eon.
It is nice to see people coming here to learn and not fight with another👍 you guys got my like
This world desperately needs more people like you guys ♡♡♡.
Neil should do more stuff from home, quietest I've ever heard him
What is the Anti-Life equation? I'm asking for a friend.
Hilarious
Are we asking what makes the equation that is everything false? Interesting...
TMNT
Loq
Are You Asking For Darksied...🤔
Ask a white lantern. Or go to the source wall. 🤣
When I listen to Chuck, particularly the questions that he asks and his ideas, l wonder if he might have missed his calling. Who knows? Perhaps he could be the World's first comedian- astrophysicist.
@Ms Taylor contrarily, many comedians are quite intelligent, witty, and creative.
personally, i love this channel, Neil and Chuck make this so much more interesting. Thnx Mat Pat

CAPTAIN FLATBEARD, THE ANTI SCIENCE PIRATE
COMING THIS FALL, A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME
nobody
the Netflix adaptation:
For some reason I read that in an Irish accent instead of a pirate one.
I like this one piece reference 👍
I love your show! I took an astronomy class years ago and I’ve had a question that I could never find an answer to. The text book said that hubble found that more distant galaxies have more redshift than closer galaxies. previously i learned that due to the doppler effect, a redshift means it is moving away, and a greater redshift means is is moving away faster. so if distance in lightyears is also looking back into the past, then hubble's law is pretty much stating that the galaxies were moving away from us faster than they are now. in other words, galaxies are slowing thier expansion instead of accelerating like ive heard recently. Please help!
I'd myself like to know
cody I think its the opposite way round. The galaxies further away actually appear to be moving away faster not slower. The issue is identifying what force is making them accelerate when they should be slowing down. This is that whole 'dark' as in 'unknown' area that is always so popular in questions. I think I got that right - apologies if not :)
I think one of Anton Petrov´s yt videos was about that phenomenon.
Geoff, I also heard the same. But since distance = time. Then the red shift that is witnessed is from an earlier point in history. That leads me to believe that the expansion is slowing, not accelerating.
@@codyx8273 I had a similar thought regarding time.......but here's another question that provides a wrinkle...WHERE are we observing from, relative to the original Big Bang? If we are 'farther along' in the progression, then it makes perfect sense that things farther away seem to be moving faster, since they still have more of the original impulse from the Big Bang.
it always makes me happy to see Neil discuss science
"ask anything you feel. That's what's important here." Shows what kind of guy Neil is
Can you do a Masterclass on Astrophysics?
Question: In multi star systems, is there a stable goldilocks zone? 🤔
I would think there could be more than one
nice idea Chuck stopping neil for views :') but what episode is he explaining his thoughts on a simulation? love this show and both presenters
I love everything about the universe and love to listen to your scientific explanation about it. The most interesting thing about the universe is the more we know, the more we discover that we don't know much about it. That doesn't frustate me but keeps me interested in finding out more and maybe one day we'll be able to understand everything about it. 🙂👍❤
Thought the title said "black holes matter". Lol
Perfect t-shirt for Star Talk. I would by one (if they come in 4XL).
I DID TOO LOL
Black holes do matter
-black hole- "we need our space! We have our rights!"
I mean.. technically black holes are still pink. #isaidit
so, I remember Neil talking about atoms having generations to them, 3 confirmed different generations of matter so far that have exactly the same properties minus one, their density. Is it possible that this 2nd and 3rd generation matter may have been in a black hole or two at a given time you think? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_(particle_physics)
I would say 'No.'
Not unless there were some process _beyond_ Hawking Radiation, through which particles were able to leave said black hole. For example: If black holes could explode in the way a white dwarf does when it goes supernova, then 'Yes.' Beyond that, however, I'd have to say no.
@Tom Mears
Only in the form of Hawking radiation, which I mentioned.
Hello Chuck and Niel. I am a chronicle pain patient and live a lot longer in lock down then the virus is here. I live alone and besides my social aid I get barely other visits and my hip pain won't allow me to walk or sit much. The main thing to keep your mind healthy is to keep your mind and hands busy. For instance. I play games on console in the morning, in the afternoon I paint miniatures while laying down and in the evening I watch series / movies or play more games.
To everyone ems who read this. Please chear this tip with others.
This is my first time watching the video, I usually listen to the podcast. It’s nice to put a face to the voice, Chuck Nice!
Technically military funding does occasionally leads to science discoveries, i.e. nuclear power from Manhattan project.🤔
Not to mention WWII... microwaves, radar, the V2 ( Saturn rocket and apollo).
Tez from England and my Star Talk question is if dark matter is still unknown and has been for past 90ish years. What have we found out about it since discovery till now?
it is still in the dark.
We’ve found out that . . . We need to find out more .
We found out quite a bit actually, like Dr Tyson says DM is actually dark gravity, it tends to drive the universe together, we can measure it but we can't see nor contain it since it doesn't interact with the electromagnetic forces nor with regular matter, in other words, it's invisible and can pass right through regular matter.
Hopefully Dr Tyson will give you more insight on the subject.
is it just me or is neil the kindest and most wholesome man in the world
Loved the little life talk, before questions... very nice!
When two galaxies collide, can two black holes merge? How would that happen? Does it get bigger?
The bigger galaxy absorbs the smaller one and they create in millions of years later a "new" galaxy, and yes it gets bigger because both masses merge that goes with black holes too
"distractions"
* silently slowly stops this video
Hiii
I just saw an advertisement for your Master Class during the last break between segments. If one believes in signs from the universe, I don't think I've seen a better example for me to continue watching you and absorbing everything you have to say.
Finally, a new episode. I'm so happy.
Please do more startalk video Neil and Chuck.
If a object has the ability to generate magnetic repulsion. An it's out skin is strong enough? Can it then pass through a black hole?
"The American way, as we call it" loool :-D
" - We probably lost a few centuries in the history of civilization because of people standing in denial of the role of natural forces relative to supernatural ones."
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
If things don't change dramatically and quickly, we're gonna be losing our future to the same thing.
*rolls eyes*
Guys, can I pose a question, please? Black holes are described as black because we have no idea what happens in there, so instead of everything going down to the size of a pea, would it not be plausible that it opens up to another subspace plain or dimension that we are unable to observe? So essentially space would be a huge sponge with holes opening up in random places. Obviously, As the observer, you can see the whole, but you can't observe the void on the other side of the sponge. I hope that makes sense? Matter, has to go somewhere and would also kind of explain the expansion spacetime. Love the show, Mr Tyson you are a legend!
I watched every episode during lockdown 😆 so im always excited for a new episode.
You guys are always in my heart.
Can never get enough of Neil and Chuck going back and forth :D
This is not that Her movie again is it? I think I'm obsessed but in a science teacher way.
I love you, Chuck Nice and your pronunciations! You are wonderful!
What is the most fascinating thing that magnets and electrical conductivity have in common? I am a huge fan and student of startalk !! Thank you for the education information and also the laughs 🙏👽
I could listen to these all day. What a time to be alive!
I don't understand how ppl can dislike such a great show. I mean how can ppl disgrace such beautiful knowledge, especially if it's for free. Love ur content Neil and also Chuck who makes it joyful
I like your name!! Very pretty.
Neil gets so deep its like he's speaking to my sole, when he spoke about isolation, he's my hero and dont even know it.
Hey Neil,
There are some comments below saying that people fall asleep listening to your soothing voice..... You should consider doing a sleep story about something in your field for the CALM app. I use this app quite often to fall asleep at night. My favorite sleep story is with Matthew McConaughey, you may be able to knock him out of first place.... Challange laid down.... Mic drop.
All the best,
Steve
The one of the best episode that should be seen by all science enthusiasts. Love the show
I took Science in High School but couldn't fall in love with it. Wish I had an inspiring teacher and a better education system. Anyways its all coming back and thankfully I can understand stuff here because of the little science I studied.
Yall are just awesome!! And so was Justin Wilson! Love the podcast. Thanks for making such great content.
Nothing like a Neil and chuck cosmic queries episode
These are sort of the same questions/videos on repeat, but, I don't care. I still watch them all the way through while doing chores.
I really really, wanted to know this. Blackholes are so mysterious. Thank you. Star Talk.
I think it's probably fairer to say that the type of media you consume makes a difference to your ability to creatively think.
Chuck Nice is a great part of the show. I miss him on some of the newer Star Talks in early 2023. I hope his absence is only temporary.
So awesome i love it ! You both make this channel very interesting 😂😂
Best podcast's ever, on Joe Rogan's level 🤟
The sound quality on these videos is way better and significantly louder than others
40:25
Best explanation of how we currently view the Universe. Chuck Nice.
It's so weird to see an episode without Neil and Chuck nerding out together in the same room! This somber version is kinda freaking me out.
Chuck is so bright and intellectually curious. He's like our avatar into the world of NDT.
Wow. That black hole bit about having the same left over that went in is crazy. Blew my mind
Indoor plumbing! What a concept! ⚓️
