- In the first episode of our special edition Cosmic Queries series, “Let’s Make America Smart Again,” Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice welcome @CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria to break down the impact of immigration on science and technological innovation in the America. Join us for an intellectual exploration into the reasons that the United States became the world’s leading scientific and educational powerhouse after World War II, and why our current practices may threaten our leadership. You’ll learn how the Manhattan Project and the V2 rocket fed into the US space program, which was built on the backs of foreign scientists. You’ll hear about some of our highest achieving immigrants, along with why foreign nations who are creating national ecosystems where talent can flourish are beginning to reshape the academic and scientific hierarchy around the world. Neil, Fareed and Chuck debate whether it’s appropriate to require certain levels of achievement from immigrants, and the difficulty in trying to predict where you can find talent, drive, and creativity. Find out why no science has ever been done that has not had geopolitical consequences or been embedded in a political system. Investigate the concept of alternate facts, and the current assault on expertise, knowledge, and science. You’ll also hear how improving relations with Russia can be done through science, similar to the Cold War period, when scientists from opposing sides were still able to work together on the Apollo-Soyuz Mission. All this, plus, Neil reminds us how the US missed the opportunity to discover the Higgs boson in Texas had we built our own Superconducting Super Collider here at home, and why even if scientific breakthroughs don’t happen in America, we must be at least thankful that they are happening at all.

I am a Honduran Immigrant. I am a physics major at the University of Maryland ! THIS EP was amazing
Bless you man!
you mean migrant. where you are now, they will see you as an inmigrant...
Hugo Romanelli English clearly isn’t his first language. Give him a little leeway on the grammar.
Unless that leads to a deeper question?
Maybe if you’re an immigrant it would be something you should know naturally, especially as a college student, so Oscar might not actually be an immigrant.
Hugo Romanelli
He’s Hondurian dumbass
But America is a continent
As the first generation American to a latin immigrant family; this segment gave me hope.
Thank you.

draunt7 : ANYTHING THAT COMES , OUT OF GERMAN - NATION , IS QUESTIONABLE 😎☠️🤚🤚.? .SEE : OPERATION PAPER 🧻 CLIP .!!!!! .
Trust me your wish will come in a very short time ….Mexico will be a power house to replace China 🇨🇳 China very soon
I loved the topic, very interesting and even though I'm not American it's nice to hear different opinions on politics and immigration. I really like Chuck Nice as a comedy co host, he doesn't interrupt when the guests are talking about something important and his jokes are not annoying. I feel he is a good complement to Dr Tyson ^^
Hi Miss Helsic en China, love your interest in this topic! International solidarity in all things, a noble goal, yes?
I’m reminded of this very fact whenever someone else is the co-host when Chuck is off doing something else. No one is as complimentary to the show as chuck.
You should bring Fareed Zakaria back! I hadn't heard of him before watching this, but his words had me captivated. I'd love to hear his perspective on other topics too!
You see..this is the kind of science show Carl would have been proud of...
Neil and Chuck are a funny duo. Scientist plus Comedian is a fire mix.
I noticed Star Talk has 333,000 subscribers. World Wrestling Entertainment has 16,000,000.
Humanity is doomed.
JetNmyFuture your comment proves itself
endgame earthians it's the period of progressing from whatever the serial number of phase this is to the next.(I think and hope).
Haaaaaaaa hahsha
WW Entertainment has a segment of fans rather young when compared. To ear Star Talk you must have certain level of culture, a certain interest in multi-cultural and avid search for for the most recent sciences, investigations discoveries and new artistic plus technology tendencies. It's rather weird to try to compare and infer those implications on society in global way. No?
more than doubled in a year, maybe there is hope?
Hey Neil, just starting the video but I'd like to say its not just America you're making smarter. Im Indian and have been learning a great deal from your books/podcasts/shows daily. Much love, keep up the good work. Hope you can continue to inspire young minds, just like mine, in the passion of teaching and learning about science and our cosmos.
Fareed is small, Chuck is medium and Neil is large...evolution on display!
1863 Neil, 1863. We all knew what you meant though. Loving the full length episode!
Another one coming tonight!
StarTalk Radio Yay!
I noticed that too lol. But It was a harmless mistake and yea we knew what he meant. I had to replay that to make sure I heard it right though lol.
"we choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard!" Abraham Lincoln
@@e1123581321345589144 lincoln, kennedy.. same thing ; )
Neil thank you for inviting Fareed...seeing/hearing both of you in discussion is great for your audience
Neil! I'm a big fan please keep fighting the fight for intellectualism.
Full episode!
I was so excited to see the length of the video!
Didn't notice until your comment. I hope this becomes a thing!
FULL EPISODE AHHHHHH
it only took over a year from the original air date. It is pretty cool still :D
Being a Spokesman and Wordwizard for Science is just as important as doing the science itself nowadays. You are CRUCIAL to the community, Neil!
Full episode? Finally! I would love for you guys to do this, even if its 2 weeks later.
+Forced G+ Stay tuned! Also remember all episodes are free for audio and for subscribers on video.
Another one coming tonight!
StarTalk Radio nbjp
89 people (at the time of this comment) don't want America to get smart again.
Loved the conversation hope more full episodes here in the future.
Thank you for all that you do! My kids love to watch and learn. Science is FUN, science is AMAZING! And I love the look on my children's faces when my kids realize that there's more to this life than what we see in front of us. They are listening, they are learning.
My daughter is in Jr. High and had no passion for the sciences until I introduced her to you. And for that I Thank YOU!!
I know this is anecdotal example, but I came to this country worked as a dishwasher, busboy, server, lifeguard and construction. Once I was able to save enough money to go back to school I got my degree in mechanical engineering from UMD. Making America smart again.
Love StarTalk!!! Best show ever! I always allow all the ads to play in full to make sure StarTalk is sustainable.
So glad I found this show! Best information online! Thanks!
I love Fareed Zakaria!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson for president.
Also do another season of cosmos.
@@BaronOfHell666 he's too busy thinking about the universe and educating people; which is where we need him.
It was nice to meet Tyson in Australia.
Haha, Chuck's take on Alex Jones less than 3 mins in was spot on
This is gold!! conversations!! thank you!
3:33 i hate to be picky but it was 1863
Incidentally, I was reading this comment when he said that.
Exactly the same thing came to mind when I heard it.. :-D..
Started and ended with a gaffe. Bumper gaffes. Lol
You start learning the minute you are born; you learn at a fast pace. “Education” comes later.
I love watching people like Neil and Bill talk about physics. It fascinates me, but it's nothing like physics in school. I have a teacher that's killed my passion for physics. Should I take up physics in college regardless? Will my passion come back and is it worth it?
Christopher Judge there are a lot of good books which you can buy for learning physics, like Resnick halliday for your fundamentals or read the Feynman lectures online
It really just depends if you are curious enough. Physics is NOT EASY, but if you work hard it WILL be worth it.
Christopher Judge I think a basic education in science, especially physics, is essential for someone to have a rounded education. The fact you ask if the passion may come back means you once had it. One bad teacher is all it takes to put any student off of a subject that could have been enjoyable and rewarding. It is a shame that modern education in schools is often taught by people that have only been taught to teach but know nothing about the subject they are assigned to teach. I cannot imagine a music teacher that knew nothing about music or a language teacher that did not know how to speak the language they are supposed to be teaching to be worth learning from. Sadly many teachers have a liberal arts background and a teaching certificate and end up teaching math and science. I am not denigrating a liberal arts education, but let them teach English or history or social studies and get someone with a background and training in the subject they teach. I have had many friends who were teachers and many of them thought that being trained to be a teacher qualified them to teach anything. Many a dinner table discussion got quite heated about this.
Do your research and find a college/university where the physicists are researching something you find interesting and where physics is appreciated, and you'll be rewarded 100-fold. Don't let one bad teacher discourage you! Good luck!
If you have a passion for physics - and a bad teaching teacher doesn't eliminate the passion, just covers it up - then you already have the best prerequisite for studying it. Once inside of your homework assignments and learning abstract stuff that you only half understand having the passion for physics is what keeps you going. That's at least how it was (is) for me. Whenever the equations start to form a loop, you see something in there suddenly that you saw before and suddenly there is this overwhelming understanding of how things connect together and stuff starts to make sense... That's when you are rewarded and for this passion is necessary.
It sure is worth it - if you do have the passion. However if you are fascinated and captivated when Neil talks physics, then you still have it. So yea - go ahead! :-)
(Also, you have to at least not hate maths. If you do, then think about it some more, however I doubt someone fascinated by Neil is hating maths. And with maths I mean real maths, i.e. functions, equations and stuff and not calculating a number.)
full episode ? wow thats great
Another one coming tonight!
I think maybe this is the quote NDGT was looking for: "One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea." Walter Bagehot
The problem is (or is it a problem ?), students now also want a good quality of life. I've seen that, they don't just want to go somewhere and work like crazy to help their family back home. Now their family has money (especially Chinese and Indian students) and so they also want to enjoy life. So they don't just come to the best universites. They also want to see France, England, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Canada... where they know the pace is much more relaxed, where you don't have to work weekends, where it doesn't take you 5 or 6 years to get your PhD (it's 3 in most countries). And the ones that want to work their ass off can stay in their home countries. I mean top American universities are either in boring surroundings (Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, University of Michigan...) or in cities that are insanely expensive, too expensive for students (New York, San Francisco...). Wouldn't you rather spend less in cities like Montreal, Grenoble, Strasbourg, Edinburgh, Stockholm, Madrid, Paris, Melbourne, Auckland, and have so many things to do and visit outside work ?
Niels got me into science 😊
Ya know. Tyson looking pretty ripped lately man. Strong in mind and body 💪
Best quote in 2017 let's make people smart again 😀👏🏻
Outstanding! Thank you...
This is fantastic, great insights. Thank you!
Why do so many people especially politicians seem as dense as a neutron star? :)
It amazes me to
Great Episode!! Always great to get insight from interesting dialog. Good job fellas. I've always wondered about the collaborative scientific effort of the human race, could we even manage a feat of team work so massive?
If politics was scientific there would be no parties. We'd just be smart enough to know the right decisions.
This was the first star talk episode I watched
Thanks for watching! We've got a few full episodes up on CZcams, and a bunch more on StarTalkAllAccess.com. Also - all of our episodes are available as audio on the podcast!
CZcams full episodes: czcams.com/play/PLnaXrumrax3X8_6L1yL3cejSMH9oTpxiI.html
Superb interview.
Regarding the last question & discussion, one question i like to pose: "What does one fear most, the known or the unknown?"
Most people will reply with "the unknown", which is incorrect. The unknown cannot be feared for one does not know what there is to fear, it's a void which if we're trained to will attempt to square the circle by filling it with their known.
Yes, it's a "thank you capt. obvious", but our individual reactions are from the training we receive throughout life that puts us at a dichotomy of either having our emotions dictate or inform us. The question i pose, is an easy way of informing an individual where they stand with their emotional self, and perhaps opens the doorway for change and their own personal growth.
This is a perfectly reasonable discussion.
Good episode
i wish this conversation would get superbowl level viewership. what an important discussion connecting reasons, motivations, ambitions, and results of human technological progress with root cause immigration, sociology and geo-politics by two intellectuals who know what the hell they're talking about.
Beautiful!!!!!
Lets make América Smart....for first time...the greatest scientist and intellectuals are from abroad... grettings from mexico
Always be wary of people who tell you don't listen to or watch somebody... instead they should insist you watch them just to prove their point is correct...
Love the content, keep it up. Full episodes are awesome.
Another one coming tonight!
I look forward to it. Thanks for providing quality content. Together we'll make America smarter again. xD
Very good conversation!
Don't stop the full episodes.
Another one coming tonight!
Sitting in the middle like a collided atom, Chuck reaches for his temple again.
As a Hispanic, it is sour to hear our immigrants mentioned in relation to washing dishes or doing laundry. It is true, though. Hispanics must master English, increase numbers in top science and corporate boards, file advance IP, and start innovative enterprises. We are dramatically underrepresented in those circles.
It’s only StarTalk radio if I use WiFi or cellular, if I use Ethernet, it’s StarTalk cable, right?
I like how so many of the public scientists state plainly that they want American science. Like Isaac Asimov he had a ton of hope for the ideals of the United States.
Chuck is very important to star talk😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
2:52 perfect Alex Jones impression
Hell yeah full episode
Another one coming tonight!
No matter who they are, Americans live their own country and only their own country.
ima try to become a scientist and find out not everyone is like neil degrasse tyson....and be so upset lol
Wonderful wonderful talk! It is sad though the "assault on expertise and knowledge" is universal. It is the same if not worse here in China. I think we both have a failed education system at home, just like Neil mentioned in his earlier twitter.
Neil has the best laugh
oops you did it again! :) i loved that comment chuck nice. you always have those quick one liners that make me laugh.
Hey I knew what solid state means. lol I loved the show!
Abe was still alive in 1963?! Amazing, he must have been the worlds oldest man! ;-)
They should have a video recording for every episode/podcast.
Another full episode coming out tonight!
Longer then 2 minutes ??? Nice !!!
Cool - VIDEO...!
I wish i could like this video a million times.. Or should i say a googel plex!! Lol
Great topic. SOLID STATE means- no moving parts.
love it when Niel says "Us" 🗺but It sounds like "U.S." 🇺🇸😂
Neil degrasse Tyson for POTUS 2020! A "celebrity" that is universally admired/respected/loved by anyone listening to him speak. He really could help make America Smart again if he had more power and influence.
I like the idea, but the implementation is going to be very hard. We are fast approaching the point where the machines that we design and build are smarter and clearly very very very much quicker than us poor slow humans. Thus the task of making America smart again is going to be a hairs width away from impossible. Maybe we should understand where we are heading and figure out a new social system to take that into account.
A cat is curious and a dog is loyal
I want to be part in Science, Im 29 but not late for that.
You know you've been doing something wrong when in the 21st century US you need to explain the advantage of science and openness to other cultures.
I understand the pun behind the title "Let’s Make America Smart Again" but I'm not so sure if that is the way of getting the people that really need to listen to this, to listen to it!
Live in South Africa in Langebaan and I'm 25. Have to move to America I guess.
Wow grt content
Fareed : AI can't tell jokes better than comedians
CZcams : hold my comments section
either try to learn to be smart or you are born that way and learn to try without fear of direction.
Ummmmmmmmm has Neil bulked up I'm loving this
Damn right Neil, come to France!
plus the food is great
My personal astrophysicist? Cool. Neil. Can you grab me some beers on the way home? Thanks.
43:19 “...if all the world...”
Two years later - Starlink: We’re getting there
What happened at 3:33?
Dr.Neil please invite Mr.Musk and other big names in the science world on your table.
+TheScarfaceKillaa Elon has been on the show! www.startalkradio.net/show/the-future-of-humanity-with-elon-musk/
Alright thanks
TheScarfaceKillaa UN
I came here to watch someone interrupt every question he asks. I made a drinking game out of it.
neil looking like a living space safari guy
i think the Wit you refer to, Neil, could be Will Rogers. i didn't google, so i could be wrong, but it sounds like his type of take.
Anyone who has an issue with politics being factored into this episode of Startalk please go to 31:15 of the video were they focus specifically on this question.
Neil for president!
35:45 *...ouch...*
The Shirt Looks good on you Dr Tyson. Nice Episode. Thanks.
Excellent conversation!
For all you haters: find somewhere else to spew your ignorance. This is a discussion for grown-ups...
I'm Canadian and I wanna know what's so great aboat (why does my phone recognize that as a word) Americans, eh?
Neils been lifting lately!
“Nor sure if you’re still practicing” said Fareed.
star talk is the best thing my taxes ever paid for
Dude
Neil
You ripped
Why doesn't this have more "likes"?
