- Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson holds the Frederick P. Rose Directorship of the Hayden Planetarium. He received his Bachelor's degree in Physics from Harvard University and his PhD from Columbia University in Astrophysics. He hosted NOVA ScienceNow on PBS for 5 seasons. Tyson was twice appointed by President George W. Bush to serve on space commissions.
Americans often call this man their national treasure. I disagree. This man is a global treasure.
500 years ago he'd be a flatual treasure.
This year, you are still getting comments based off assumptions. So I pop off at you my friend for grouping people geographically, applying assumptions to validate what you hesitate to stand behind as an individual.
Lets be straight here, people suck. But a person....stand by for greatness. No more than a government tries to corale for ease of control but limiting potential; you should also not do the same.
I disagree, he is a universal treasure.
@No One who said you Hindu is religion
............................................................................................
The submission of man to His Creator is the essence of Islam. The name “Islam” is chosen by God (Allah) and not by man. It is the same unifying Message revealed to all the Prophets and Messengers by Allah and which they spread amongst their respective nations. In its Final form it was revealed to Muhammad (Peace & Mercy of Allah be upon him) as a complete Message to whole mankind. The Lord, Allah, is the True and Only Creator that deserves to be worshipped. No worship is worthy of being given to a stone, statue, a cross, a triangle, Khomeini, Farakhan, Eliajahs, Malcom’s X or Y, Ghandi, Krishna, Guru, Buddha, Mahatma, Emperor, Joseph Smith, Sun, Moon (not to that from Korea too!), Light, Fire, rivers, cows, Rama, Temples, Prophets, Messengers (Yes! Muslims do not worship Muhammad-peace be upon him), Saints, Priests, Monks, Movie Stars, Sheiks, etc.!!! All are created beings or things.
ALLAH, is the Name of the One True God. His Name is not chosen by man and does not have a number or gender. It is known that Allah is the Name of God in Aramaic, the language of our beloved Prophet Jesus and a sister language of Arabic. The Name “Allah” has been used by all previous Prophets starting with Adam and by the last and final Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be upon them all).
The Innate Nature in man recognizes what is good and bad, what is true and false. It recognizes that the Attributes of Allah must be True, Unique, and All-Perfect. It does not feel comfortable towards any kind of degradation of His Attributes not does it qualities to the Creator. Many who became “discontent with God” did so because of the practices of the Church in medieval Europe and because of the claims of “god dwelling in a son” and the concept of the “original sin”. However, they “escaped” into worshipping a new theory called “mother nature” as well as the “material” World. With the advancement of materialistic technology others from different religions adopted the concept of “forgetting about God” and “let us live this life and enjoy it!”, not realizing that they have chosen the worship of the “original god” of Rome: Desire!.
NOW we can see that all of this materialistic and secular progress produced a spiritual vacuum that led to complex social, economical, political, and psychological problems. Many of those who “fled” their “religions” are in search again. Some try to “escape” the complexity of their daily lives via various means. Those who had the chance to examine the Qur’an and Islam, proceed with a complete way of life that relates man to establish a purpose for his presence on earth. This is well recognized in the Attributes of Allah and what does He require from man. He does not want man to be enslaved to any false deity: nature, drugs, lust, money, other man, desire, or sex. He provides man with the proofs that He is the One who can redeem so that man can free himself from the slavery to any form of creation and to turn to his Creator Alone. THIS Creator Has Perfect Attributes. He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Ever Living. To Him is the Final Return where everyone will be dealt with in the Most Perfect and Just way. He does not begot nor He is begotten. Those who attribute Divinity to Jesus forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was in a mother’s womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man. He was trusted with the Gospel as a Message to the Children of Israel: “For there is One God, and one mediator (i.e. a messenger) between God and men (the Children of Israel), the man Christ Jesus) (I Timothy 2:5). A man-messenger calling his nation not to worship him: “But in vain they do worship me!” (Mathew 15:9). A man who needs to eat, walk, sleed, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God (Allah) is Self-Sufficient.
AS far as Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Marxism, and Capitalism,
there is the devotion of worshipping created being/things in one form or another. Jews had attributed a “Nationalistic” belonging to Allah. They labeled Him “The Tribal God” for the Children of Israel. Men and women following these “religions” were born with the natural inclination of submission to their Creator, Allah. It is their parents who had driven them into their respective traditions. However, once people are exposed to the Signs of Allah around them, or in the Qur’an or to someone who triggers thei Fitra (natural inclination to worship Allah Alone), the reverting process begins and that is why we see a universal spreading of Islam. In the West and despite tha many distortions of Islam in the Media, many admit that Islam may be the fastest growing Faith. No sense of fairness can be achieved without a genuine attempt to know the Word of Allah in the Qur’an and not on the 30-min-Evening News. This is the real challenge for those who seek the Truth. Man is created for a purpose: to live a life in accordance with Allah’s way. Why Not? Do we posses the air we breath? Did we create ourselves or others? Or were we ourselves the Creators? We are limited and weak. So is our right to ignore our Creator where we all need Him?
ISLAM is the submission in worship to Allah Alone and it is the essence of all the Messages sent to all nations before us. Allah is All-Just and All-Wise. He does not intend confusion for His Creation. The religion accepted to Him is the one chosen by Him. Its essence must be One, because He is One. It is free from geographical, racist, and status oriented concepts. It is Perfect and it is the complete way of life. All these qualities are chosen by Allah in His Only Religion: Islam. Its details are in in the Qur’an, read it and come with an open heart because none can expose better than the World of Allah. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. He did not author it. He was unlettered. Its translation is available in many languages in bookstores or in an Islamic Center close to you. Take the time to read it and come/call the Islamic Center, or speak to someone who re-verted and submitted to Allah Alone.
"Hardwork dissipates ignorance."
common knowledge??
That's right
Neil deGrasse Tyson 2012
yes
Depends on the context.
"They'll be buying toilet paper and bottled water"
LMAO he's an oracle.
Dr. Neil forgot to say that we can shoot a missile to DISINTEGRATE an astroids before it hit earth, while religious people will only pray.
Neil is always like: "I have to much knowledge I need to share before I die" Love him
I graduated high school with a 1.8 gpa and didn’t understand a bit of algebra. But, 10 years later, I decided I needed a college degree to get a better job so I enrolled at a community college. I tested into a junior high school level of math class. Because I was determined to get a degree (first in my family by the way), I stuck with it. The teacher I had for 3 math courses, all of which were pre algebra, explained it in a way that made sense. My worse subject in high school became my strongest courses in college. In fact, I went from a business administration degree to graduating from a University with a finance degree. And my community college gpa was a 3.7 and the university gpa was a 3.3. It may have taken me a extra year and a half to get up to speed, and thanks to good instruction, but my “a-ha” moment was similar to Neil’s.
That's very inspirational, losttribe3001. Thanks for sharing!
@Sam Armstrong I think Sam is missing losttribe3001's point. Others will likely find losttribe's story inspirational, which is a good thing. point^👀
I was fortunate to have parents who were both teachers. This made my school years quite easy as my parents were great at "Dumbing down" the subject matter to fit my level of understanding. I was and still am impressed by those who fight and struggle to learn but stick to it until they can understand the material. You stand as a good example of those who succeed. I hope someone who is struggling reads your post and is inspired to stick with it until they understand. Good on you.
Daniel Drake Having the right people helps immensely and I’m glad to hear it was your parents. Cheers!
losttribe3001 congratulations and well done! Your never too old to learn.
His sentences are so poetic.
He makes poetry with science
I agree, BUT I'm not sure that's a good thing. Although it's pleasant to hear those almost poetic sentences, it also makes you associate brilliance of scientific thought with beauty of its literary form, and that's not so nice, as there is a lot of bullcrap in the internet/world, which sounds very nice.. but are still just a bullcrap.
He's a shitty actor.
He seems kinda drunk on his own thoughts.
I think he kinda works for it.
20:50 that “buying toilet paper and bottled water” thing is exactly what’s happening now with COVID-19 😂
This is the 3rd dr t video ive seen where covid19 subtlety shows itself
@@D00NBU66Y It's not specifically Covid 19, but ANY pandemic. Given the population density, pandemics will become more and more common. That's WHY we have TOWNS instead of one big mega city. Early settlers knew that if a disease struck, it's better to have it effect ONE small section of society than the entire population. Also notice WHO describes as those hoarding all the TP and water.
I immediately checked the time of this video uploaded 😂
omfg I was about to wrtie the exact same comment lol. 4 months and we still knee deep in this shite
@Movie Master How did he know!!?? He's an astrophysicist, ffs... He shouldn't have been able to predict so accurately the behaviour of the heard. How freaking smart is this man? I would've expected that from psychologists or sociologists. When this sh*t started, I knew ppl will stampede themselves for groceries, cleaning products, water but my intuition has never lead me to a "oh, and toilet paper, too" moment. Even if you know your people really well, it's still not a low hanging fruit to think about TP, yet he did, he f****ng did!
The absolute coherence of Tyson's thoughts as he communicates them is unparalleled.
The way he is answering the questions is just mindblowing. What a person, what a brain.
GOMEZ He’s honestly not that intelligent. His pretension denotes ignorance.
Also he’s far too trusting of government and authority figures.
@@HighguyMcfly says the keyboard warrior....dumb ass
@@HighguyMcfly One does not simply become as successful as Neil deGrasse Tyson. I would really like to understand your perspective, since i strongly disagree with your opinion about Neil deGrasse Tysons intellect. Honestly if you cant back up your claims then your pretension breathes ignorance. Atleast i cant spot the difference.

@XY ZW and yet you are a CZcams nobody while he is a renowned astrophysicist....you sound dumb...get a life
he’s a good speaker might not be the most intelligent
"The universe doesnt care about your feelings"
"Can you prove that ? "
Alain Maitre yes, remember when you dropped your phone and broke the screen? Well, universe didn’t care about your feelings. It didn’t temporarily switch off the gravity off so to avoid the screen-break.
@@alnika6153 . Maybe the universe is dual , today it can be against me , tomorrow it can do me a big favor . Who knows . Maybe , maybe not , no proof .
Alain Maitre nahhh, it’s the “universe doesn’t care about your feelings” all over again.....
@@alnika6153 . Maybe it cares not for my feelings today , maybe tomorrow it will care , on and off switching , so maybe the universe is dual .
The moment he explains his “Ah-ha” moment, gave me chills.
People can say whatever they want about Neil and his ego, but the man is an inspiration for the aspiring learner.
There are people who don't like him????! 😳😳😳
What ego? I am watching him for 3 years now, every now and then, I don't know how many clips of his interviews and monologues I've watched, but I never sensed his ego bursting out. Maybe once or twice in a jokingly way, if I recall hard, but other than that, no...
He deserves his ego
Game you chills
NDT has absolutely no ego problems whatsoever, he's alright. The people who find him annoying must have such empty lives though.
"There's very little in life that's worth achieving that isn't hard." Beautifully said, sir.
Let me get back to my work now
Try telling that to someone who, while not literally mentally deficient or purposely obtuse, isn't capable of anything a scientist would think is difficult, let alone some things average people think is difficult. Believe it or not, there is a segment of people who aren't mind numbingly stupid, but will never have the ability to comprehend most of academia very well. This is why I dislike both science, logic, math, reason, and organized religion. For someone like this, those are ALL things you have to just either "believe or not" because you won't have the personal ability to tell any meaningful difference long enough and often enough to matter between the two.
4:25 "It was this fog [around math] that dissipated... Hard work dissipates ignorance."
Thanks for the motivation while I do my research!
I don't want to be the person that argues with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but as an educator in elementary schools I have to say this: hard work, *for the most part,* will dissipate ignorance. However, some students will work and work and work and work, until they cannot work any more, and still they will not fully understand.
We are all wired so differently and some subjects just come so naturally to some students, while other subjects completely elude even those students with a great work ethic. For whatever reason, certain subjects simply do not connect for them.
So, while it is important to emphasize the need for hard work and perseverance, it is also OK to understand your own limitations. There might be some subjects that you are simply not going to comprehend as deeply as you would like, regardless of your tenacity or drive. I think this subject matters and bears repeating because it allows certain students to free themselves from the burden that they think they should understand everything. It allows them to explore the areas in which they thrive and in which they flourish, rather than bogging them down with the feelings of inadequacy brought on by subjects that they are not predisposed to fully comprehend.
Someone make this a t-shirt
@nmeunier Yeah I wouldn't mix the two things. Your customers had you to care about the wires'n'blinky lights'n'stuff, so they didn't necessarily.
They probably didn't have the time or didn't see the need to learn this.
I wouldn't conclude inability from that, even if they expressed as much.
As for the alien thing, I'm not so sure he literally believes that.
I've seen him use that as a rhetorical device to induce a bigger perspective on the world in people.
@@AGDinCA thats a teaching failure and wrong approach teaching for that student.
@@sroy9789 I appreciate your (professional??) opinion. What teaching strategy would you suggest employing when faced with children with certain learning disorders and disabilities?
That girl in the NASA shirt is kinda adorable
Smash that~!
Wanted to look if someone commented on the girl ahahahah and the first comment with most likes is top.
from adorable to smash that in 2 comments.
She is what is known as a "sleeper". Most guys would think she is average because she is kinda nerdy and doesn't dress provocatively. She probably doesn't even consider herself that attractive, but she is extremely cute and not even trying. A very natural beauty. I always loved the hidden gems.
You guys publish findings of vedic books and call it NASA SCIENCE
"Hard work dissapates ignorance" I love that!
I feel like, everytime I hear Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson speak, I learn a life lesson.
nope
@Olin M Imomihz I already learned and know too much. You need to take your head out of the sand.

Aside from his good looks, charisma and story telling voice, what a leader, teacher and inspiration Mr. Tyson is in this day! Always admire.
John Petersen . You nailed it! I love this guy
Dr. Tyson
You know he worships satan and is brainwashing you right? Rhetorical question. I already know you don't. Lmao. I have a sick sense of humour. you sHould stop worshiping false idols.
@@williamlevy6964 Even if you are a mongrel, this doesn't give you the right to pee on people's shoes.

Haha. But seriously though. Neil's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
You had the opportunity to meet NDT and you waste it on a light bulb joke .
That is a good one!
Troglodytes.
arvie almanzor Right?! Some people just want to watch the world burn.
@@cryptidian3530 Why you say this?
@@rakification It's a joke from The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon gets an epiphany while working as a bus boy at the Cheesecake Factory and when trying to explain to the customers what he just figured out, they didn't understand a word he said, then he sighs and looks at them, saying "troglodytes".
I love Mr. Tyson's explainy voice. He makes things sound so magical and exciting!
To this organizer and any other organizer in the future: When you invite NDT to your event and you allow for Q&A, make sure you allow PLENTY of time damn it and stop rushing him!
Omar Delawar I totally agree. When a person like Neil is speaking, the best thing to do is listen without clock watching.
who the hell needs to ask that dumb fuck anything? He is an ignorant ass
True that, the man loves the sound of his own voice
Caught myself smiling. Just the enthusiasm he has is enough to make him a great man.
The 2nd question about difficulty should be cut out and made into a 2 min clip so that it can be shared a billion times. Always choose the hard path. Great answer #NDGT
Take leadership.
The problem with this whole "it's only worth doing if it's difficult" is that it basically makes an entire segment of the human population who, while not literally mentally deficient or purposely obtuse, are simply left out of the world for all intents and purposes.
@@jwb52z9 it seems you didn't understand what he said
2:50 I keep coming back here every often to listen to him, "There is very little in life that's worth achieving that isn't hard."
Even though I hope I don't have to come back here again in some far future because I know what makes me keep coming back, I wish everyone who's pushing, challenging themselves, and struggling can find this gem and have their mind at ease.
Thanks for your video and the guy who asked the question who went to the State University of New York at Albany majoring in physics.
Whoever sees this message, I wish you luck and have great fun with your life.
DR. NEIL DEGRASS IS JUST BRILLIANT IN THE WAY THAT HE EXPLAINS ASTRO PHYSICS. HE IS GIFTED IN EXPLAINING HIS NARRATION IN A VERY INTERESTING AND GRAVITATING WAY. HE IS A GOOD PUBLIST FOR THE FIELD OF SCIENCE.
i am amazed of how beautiful he explains everything because he paints a picture with every response .
IKR! even when he's talking about abstract philosophical theories he's coherent. If that's not a superpower then i dont know what is
@@yeanahman2823 Nah I'd say flight, superspeed, telekinesis and the sort are superpowers.
@@rockysandman5489 ah silly me
what an obvious idiot you are.
you must be as dumb as fuck. cause NDT certainly is
It's not just that he's smart, eloquent and charismatic. He also *knows* that what he says is correct, so he doesn't hesitate *at all*. Making him even more convincing.
That's greatly admirable. I wish I had an iota of this man's speaking skills.
You can start by taking that damn bird off ya head ya freak!
The only reason he hesitates is because he knows he needs to dumb it down a little for the general audience. Or because he doesn’t know the answer to the lightbulb joke
@robert punu You are repeating yourself and displaying your disrespect for well-presented and entertaining information that any informed member of the 21st century should know. Study more about gravity, without your apparent bias, and find out how it actually works. You seem to have a problem holding orbital mechanics and gravitation attraction in your mind at the same time. Orbital motion IS the result of gravitational attraction and sufficient tangential velocity to continually fall toward the orbited object while continually missing that object.
@robert punu Again, learn the science and try to outgrow your apparently limited understanding of how gravity works. Learn about the order of magnitude difference between gravitational attraction and centripetal force on a LARGE spinning globe.
I love how every Tyson interview has the interviewer growing stressed as they run out of time.
Time should never be regulated or limited when have deGarasse Tyson explaining anything. I listen to & watch everything I can find regarding his lectures or appearances. He makes learning the most enjoyable experience.
sat down for 20 mins straight.......had no idea the video was that long......don't even care
thats one powerful interest! keep it up :D
o yeah same goes to me :D
It wasn't even long. I wanted a 2h lecture..
Every minute spent doing that which helps improve you or others is time well spent. Always keep that in mind.
I spend 6 to 7 hours a day watching CZcams you got lucky
Hard work dissipates ignorance.
BRILLIANT!
We really need more and better teachers. We also need to focus on improving the education systems world wide so they focus on learning and more at individuals rather than groups. It means less will fall back and more will learn. Our future lies in the next generations after all, those who aim higher and surpass those before.
Without this humanity won't last for much longer because ignorance will gain a more dangerous foothold. Not saying we'd have another dark ages but if we do not focus at that which is important to everyone's survival, humanity may never recover the next big disaster. I believe Einstein had a quote about that.
i actually strongly disagree with this saying.
you can work hard everyday in the field or at the gym but only learning/studying dissipates ignorance.
What an excellent question and answer segment. Dr. Tyson is a fantastic educator and communicator.
I must have watched this a dozen times yet every time I watch it, because of NDT's passion it seems like first time watching it......amazing!!
05:33 One of the best quotes I've ever heard!
"The measure of whether you learn something is not whether it was obviously true to you upon first glance."
Neil degrasse Tyson will for ever be one of the most scientifically influential person of this century!! Respect!!👍😁
He is on a mission, and a very humble one, teaching people to think by themselves and question everything with the purpose of beeing better, fulfilled and happier human beeings. Best teacher ever and as he said, it would be good to have others doing the same he does to open the eyes and minds of everybody.
I love listening to him. Best answers. Explained in a way we can all understand. And I love his excitement for the subject. And funny too.
There is nobody who can hypnotize me with words like Neil deGrasse Tyson can.
"There's very little in life that's worth achieving that isn't hard."
Sensei told us: "If it was easy, it wouldn't be valuable."
My personal astrophysics has had a profound effect on the way I look at the world. He has inspired this 59 year old brain to learn as much as It can each and every day until I die. I never had the opportunity to attend college. With the inspiration I have I realized I can attend lectures given my professor's of any field of study. I drive a truck and am fascinated by the geology of our nation. I'm getting my education for free. There are lectures, studies, etc, on every geological feature coast to coast. The San Gabriel Mountains in Southern CA. The Columbia River Gorge. Listening to a lecture on the Eastern Sierras in California, while driving on US HWY 395 is the highlight of my day. Thank you to my personal astrophysicist for opening my eyes. Thank you!!!
i wish they had posted a date on when this occurred. He's a great communicator but this is some of his best that I've ever seen.
This is an amazing program.
Neil is so good and ready to answer a wide variety of questions, including moral and intellectual dilemmas.
Thanks Neil.
As Tiger says : "You are great!!!"
What an incredible, intelligent, clever, charming and sharp person.

He admits to not knowing everything and that's awesome but what makes Neil Great is that which he does know he can answer in a way anyone else can easily understand. That is something I've found almost impossible for many brilliant people, to be able to break it down for those not so educated in the material. Neil really is great to watch and listen to, always a treat.
What an absolutely beautiful response to the eureka moment question.
Thank God Mr Tyson didn't give up,I think he has taught all of us something at some point not many people in his profession have reached as many people as him and he is a wonderful story teller
Love listening to you. ❤️🌻❤️
"If anything you see out there, looks like it's ordered to you..." love the logic in that question.
He's such an inspirational person. He makes things so simplify so ppl can understand.
This dude is just amazing...love it
So glad I ran across this. I like that he is brilliant but can answer questions in a way that I can understand. He definitely makes you think in a new way.
The most interesting personality in what could be a boring subject, he makes it a story. Brilliant. I keep rereading all his books & always learn something new based on how I am interpreting it.
This guy maaan👍🏾👍🏾 I could listen to him the whole day
I don't know about [you], but I really respect this guy, and for multiple reasons.
A man this brilliant, hardworking and honest deserves no less than respect. Specially considering he has decided to share and talk with the rest of us mortals, instead of isolating himself from the average man behind a mask of arrogance and erudition, as so many great thinkers had. I respect a lot men like Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens but I can't stand their ego. Tyson is way .more humble.
One thing i love to do,im gifted in maths alot i read things once in math and i remember it,but my uncle always encouraged me to help others,i love helping people understand and see that maths isnt impossible and they are just as capable as any A+ student
classic answers given by Dr. Tyson , I am truly amazed

"The measure of whether you learn something is not whether it was obviously true to you upon first glance" - Neil degrasse Tyson.
My question to this would be, "If you can't trust yourself or your own senses for anything, how can you then trust any readings you make from a machine you build as a scientist since you only have your own self admittedly useless senses to use?"
@@jwb52z9 The machine reads our physical reality. You read the machine. Very different.
I'm amazed how Neil can come up with an answer on the spot and it is still be very inspirational
The way Dr. Neil explains things are so scientific, yet philosophical in which the information he gives gravitates you to know more about the Universe. Of all the divisiveness that we human being have amongst ourself, it is lecture about the Universe that bring us together.
Love this man!
The way Neil articulates, I can listen to him all day.
He’s so kind and respectful of each person. There’s no patronizing.
Very poetic and very inspiring answer to the 3rd question. Thank you.
He is certainly a great story teller. Amazing way to put things in perspective.
Hard work dissipates ignorance. Love it!
Neil deGrasse Tyson is just brilliant. It's such a pleasure listening to him. He serves out scientific knowledge to lay folks in easily digestible dollops. Lending your ears to him is time well spent. A worthy torchbearer of a trend initiated by Carl Sagan.
"Universe doesn't care about your feelings" sounds like something Rick from Rick and Morty would say.
So many questions I have for this man. His thought process and adherence to scientific method and data makes him really fun to listen to
I need more Neal in my life.
Thank you for the video.
Aaaaaaaaahhhh! Listening to Dr Tyson makes me wanna scream with so much fantastic energy!
My brain just got a deep massage. So good
I wish one day I can organize my thoughts half as good as he does!
His answer to the question at 2:15..... I wish I had someone inspire me like that when I was taking quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics at university when I was doing nanotechnology engineering
as usual very enlightening,interesting and fun filled.
It was Galileo who was screaming at the priests: "Just look through the goddamn telescope." and they would not.
This is false. A complete myth.
i love how expressive he is. i can see him containing himself by how his whole body tilts lol.
I knew everything Neil explained, but I listened to every single word he said. He is such a great narrator.
What a massively intelligent & inspirational person. From the way he gives those off-hand, on-the-fly answers, it would seem he had time to carefully choose in advance what and how he was going to say. Yet, it is all done in real time, right then and right there, giving hugely interesting answers to questions popped out of the blue. Not many people are so at ease with this, astrophysicists or not.
I'm only at the Nasa t-shirt girl's topic ( 6:19 ) but I already think that this is one of the best videos (motivational speechwise) of the year. Between 2:17 - 5:40 is a great part of wisdom that all kids should be taught. I know Neil deGrasse Tyson tells almost the same thing about the result, and the reward of hard work other people did before but the way he does is just outstanding.
The question at 9:00 by the woman in the NASA shirt seemed to have an obvious answer in Wegener's continental drift hypothesis. That did flip geology on its head forcing the entire field to rethink a lot of what was taken for granted before we found bands of magnetic polarity reverses in successively newer rock near the Atlantic ridge.
Sorry, what was that you said about her tits?
Yes and no. The consensus that surely continents did not move was not built on actual data. It was a very reasonable guess built on nothing. Once decent maps of portions of the Atlantic were available, it became apparent that what was there was exactly what you would expect if the Atlantic had been widening for a long time.
@@ComradeOgilvy1984 it was a hypothesis. Those are tested and validated over time and change based on the new information. Once enough data supports a hypothesis it becomes a theory that can still change but it doesn't get "flipped." So there isn't a discrepancy at all or an instance that a scientifically validated principle was upended.

4:00 This quote has been rummaging around my head a lot, lately. Top three of the greatest things ever said by an american president: "We choose to go to the Moon. Not because it's easy, but because it's hard".
In this day and age, the world is in catastrophically short supply of this notion, that something being difficult is part of what makes it a worthwhile endeavor, and nowhere in shorter supply than in developed countries. So: Problems which need to be solved don't get solved, issues which need addressing don't get addressed, because the countries with economy to spare sit back and say "Nah... That sounds hard."
"Hard work dissipate ignorance" right
Neil is a very energetic teacher with a powerful delivery. I taught chemistry and its quantum mechanics for years and I am sure kids looked at me as I went at things with the same wonderful fervor. Sometimes they thought I was nuts, me thinks! When the asteroid comes.....astute scientists will ask themselves....."Do I have an unopened bottle of wine?"
I love how with every question he is asked his response makes you ask yourself 100 different questions..
I was watching this with my six year old son, he is a big fan of Neil, and he asks me; 'if the expansion of the universe goes on forever, will the space between atoms expand forever too ... what about the space inside atoms?'. All I could think, as I looked at him trying to find the words to explain his question, was LORD HELP ME. Can I just leave this one to Neil?
! .... He is trying to use a popped baggie to describe the expansion of the multiverse.
Ur son’s gonna be the next Neil degrasse tyson
