  • America's favorite astrophysicist is a huge fan of the Webb Telescope and the incredible feats of engineering that made possible the images of the universe that it is beaming back to Earth. Stick around for two more segments with Neil, and check out his new book, "Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization," available everywhere now! #Colbert #StarryMessenger #NeildeGrasseTyson

      Glad you liked that but Neil actually stole it from Kennedy's speech at Rice University September 12 1962.
      He rephrased it so it wasn't necessarily plagiarized.

      @@jamesgoines7663 As a self-avowed nerd, I obviously looked it up as soon as you mentioned it and then followed the white rabbit. Turns out, Kennedy himself was paraphrasing Albert Einstein, who some two decades earlier had said "as our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it". Lots of interesting literature down that rabbit hole, touching on everything from the uncertainty principle to the long dark tea-time of the soul.

      I had a high school physics teacher who'd go deliriously happy when explaining some of the most obtuse concepts in physics. We used to make jokes that the guy is splooging his pants just explaining to us what quantum entanglement means. That sheer joy in loving the science made not just me a forever geek who is passionate about physics, but I've since managed to make my kids love science too.
      When I see Neil, or Bill Nye, I feel like yeah, as a Human Civilization, we still got a fighting chance. We are not altogether governed by a confederacy of dunces. We got folks who know shit too.

    I thought I'd be very inspired by the Webb photos. That said, seeing the universe so clearly just makes it even more obvious how tiny we are. Seeing obviously warped spacetime makes it too easy to question our strange relative reality.

    I've watched Dr.Tyson's several PBS' documentaries. What comes to mind is the glowing fashion that he recalls the efforts of Galileo Galilee's telescopic efforts and that astronomer's book, 'The Starry Messenger.' The same name of Dr. Tyson's new book. A very great tribute he has paid to that long ago pioneer.
