Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses the development of the atomic bomb and the effect it has on human civilization. What did you find most surprising about this video?

[@leahgary1107]

The advancement of human thoughts applied to scientific concepts impresses me the most. I like seeing how people advance on such topics.

I don't MIND the animation, but I much preferred Carl Sagan's original style of using real-life people who don't even gesture spoken words, as Sagan would narrate their presumed spoken words. Don't know why, I just thought it was a better way of delivering the story.

At 1:43​, it reminded me of the exponential spread of coronavirus infections worldwide. It seems that the bigger the population gets, the more serious the problems become because of humans' overwhelming power of greed and self-indulgence. IMO, it's phony to say that you're for the environment but not for limiting the growth of population and immigration.
