Astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson presents the keynote address at TAM6. His "brain droppings" cover everything from UFO abductions to 13th floors to jury duty.
Dr. Tyson is the host of NOVA scienceNOW on PBS, and has been a frequent guest on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. His presentation from TAM6 is one of the most entertaining presentations from any Amaz!ng Meeting.

[@largehoman]

Neil is just one of those rare people who can, without effort, make you feel total and complete awe about the world around you, because he is able to capture his own feeling of awe and put it into words. He's become a true inspiration to me as of late, and i think that is what this world needs more of, inspiring people who are proud of what they know and want to encourage others to learn about the universe as well.

Tyson lays numerous piles of bull shit in his keynote address for the TAM6. And the "skeptics" swallow it without question. This is a great video. Tyson discredits the James Randi Education Foundation gang more thoroughly than a hostile challenger could ever hope to do.

[@HopDavid]

How many times have you watched Tyson's account of Bush's 9-11 speech at 50:03 ? Far from being "an attempt to distinguish we from they" Bush's actual speech was a call for tolerance and inclusion. It was delivered from a mosque. Turns out Tyson confused Bush's 9-11 speech with his eulogy for the Space Shuttle Columbia Astronauts. However in neither speech did Bush try to set Christians above Muslims. That vile accusation comes from Tyson's imagination. And that is just one of several steaming piles of bull shit in the above video. Let Tyson and his clueless following become known for stupidity and dishonesty.

[@vincentpol]

Rumplestiltskin I'm sure you're familiar with the curve of scientific progress? Without christianity we'd have been colonizing Mars about a century ago.

[@HopDavid]

Galileo was educated in a Catholic school and university. He used books preserved and copied by Catholic monks. Without the Catholic work to teach literacy, preserve and copy books, build schools, hospitals, observatories and universities, we would still have no industrial revolution. (Although I don't give Catholics all the credit. There have been other religious traditions that revere scholarship and a love of learning. Some Muslim traditions, Judaism, Protestants, Buddhism, etc.)

[@vincentpol]

Hollister David Well, in hindsight we can never tell, but what we do know is that we lost a lot of knowledge when Christianity spread across Europe. This tells us people were perfectly capable of making scientific discoveries without Christianity, plus they'd have had a head start, as they'd have never had to deal with Christianity's hunger to destroy scientific progress. So they'd have had less resistance and more existing knowledge to work with. It'd have undoubtedly led to exponential scientific discoveries, many centuries before our time. That curve I was talking about earlier looks like this for a reason: buelahman.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/darkages.gif But it happened this way, we can't go back in time. The point being, although it's easy to point to christians making scientific progress, the vast amount of Einsteins and Stephen Hawkings we lost over it certainly doesn't fix it in any way.

[@HopDavid]

vincentpol Alternate histories are nothing more than speculation. They can't be tested in reproducible experiments -- There's no way we can go back in time and change the parameters. So keep it up. Keep on throwing out assertons that can't be tested and proclaiming it SCIENCE! I can use a good laugh.

But then Neil's error started getting more attention, even appearing in The Washington Post and other major news outlets. With a great deal of arm twisting Neil admitted he had confused Bush's eulogy for the Space Shuttle Columbia Astronauts with his 9-11speech.

@@HopDavid very interesting, thanks. Of course I’d be very interested to hear the rest :)

[@HopDavid]

@@orian8837 1:00:55 Tyson makes several false claims in his talk about Newton vs Laplace. Tyson claims that Newton could have easily done Laplace's work in an afternoon. But Newton just stopped when he ceded his brilliance to God. Newton did not just stop.Again and again he returned to the problem of modeling multi-body systems. In particular he invested a great deal of time and effort trying to model the 3-body system of the earth, moon and sun. Tyson's claim is demonstrably false from the get go. After Newton tried, Leonhard Euler took a crack at it. Euler is thought by many to be the greatest mathematician that ever lived. Laplace held that opinion. And then Lagrange. Perhaps you've heard of the Lagrange points? They should be called the Euler-Lagrange points. Euler discovered L1, L2 and L3. Lagrange discovered L4 and L5, the points leading and trailing the orbiting body by 60º. d'Alembert also worked on the problem. More than 100 years later Laplace built his n-body perturbation theory that somewhat explained the stablility of the solar system. But he built on decades of work by Newton, Euler, Lagrange and d'Alembert. When Tyson says perturbation theory is a simple extension of calculus that Newton could have done in an afternoon, he is talking out of his ass. To support his claim Tyson portrays Newton as super human claiming he did decades of work in just two months on a dare. The "dare" Tyson speaks of seems to be the famous Edmund Halley question on planetary orbits, the question that prompted Newton to write Principia. Halley made this "dare" in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s. This was decades after Newton did his calculus work and 7 years after Newton figured out that inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws. So, no, neither Newton's calculus work nor his work on orbital mechanics were prompted by this "dare". It was Isaac Barrow that steered Newton towards calculus. Barrow, Fermat, Descartes, Cavalieri and others had laid the foundations of calculus in the generation before Newton and Leibniz. Barrow was Newton's older colleague at Cambridge. Barrow made Newton aware of this body of work in 1665. Newton spent the next three years organizing these efforts and adding his own innovations. So yes, this happened before Newton turned 26. But, no, not a two month effort. More like decades of effort from many people. And not on Halley's dare made nearly 20 years later. Regarding orbital mechanics, Newton started thinking about gravity and his laws of motion in 1665. But it was in the winter between 1676 and 1677 that he made a break through and found that inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws, elliptical orbits and all. So, no, not a two months effort. More like 12 years. And, no, not on Halley's "dare". Halley asked his question in 1684, 7 years after Newton had figured it out. Nearly everything Neil says about Newton is addled nonsense. Unlike Tyson's Bush and Star Names tale, this bit of wrong history hasn't received as much attention. It is rather convoluted and more esoteric so the error isn't as obvious. Neil has been made aware of his errors. But I haven't seen him lift a finger to correct the misinformation he's spread. He's evidently made a choice to let these falsehoods remain in circulation.

It's in fact correct. This is the formula by which you calculate the acceleration and mass needed for a big ass fart (pun intended) to lift you off the ground.

[@procrasibator]

This should be a show he takes around the country.

[@Cubeface]

That was one of the greatest videos I've ever seen! I love his voice :D

[@bushibayushi]

one of the best videos on youtube. period.

[@bobmoore20]

i will literaly watch anything wiith degrasse tyson

[@bigjimslade1000]

I was a christian for 20 years, then I went to college. After that, I studied religion and philosophy for 10 years. I found so many holes in the creationist theory, it seemed science was an easier pill to swallow.

[@twstf8905]

It's funny but it's incredibly important. Everything he's saying, if as many people as possible saw it, (especially here in the United States,) it could actually have a measurable impact on the population. Critical thinking, scientific literacy, etc. We're more susceptible to con artists and other B.S. than many would be particularly comfortable with, if they omly realized the magnitude of it lol and this speech goes a long way in making those kinds of clarifications. 👍

[@HopDavid]

If you had any critical thinking skills you would recognize Tyson's stories as addled bull shit. 50:05 Tyson drops a steaming load. President Bush's actual speech was a call for tolerance and inclusion. It was delivered from a mosque. Turns out Tyson confused Bush's 9-11 speech with his eulogy for the Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts. However in neither speech did Bush try to set Christians above Muslims. That vile accusation is solely Neil's invention. 73:37 Ghazali never wrote that math is the work of the devil. Nor did Islamic innovation end in 12th century. 62:14 Just about everything Tyson says about Newton is wrong. Tyson likes to say that scientific literacy empowers you to know when someone is full of shit. And here you've just swallowed at least three loads of Tyson's shit. You have no scientific literacy. Stop trying to remove the mote from your neighbor's eye.

[@MrSomethingscary]

this reminds me of some high school conversations i had: to superficial for anyone to rightly claim the issue had been dealt with, but with just enough science and news stories so the convo feels smart, and chock full of enough self-aggrandizement to where everyone still feels like we accomplished something. almost as though our chests sticking out further will help society a little bit. 'look at all the ignorance i've dispelled by preaching to my choir!'- you can just hear it.

[@SuperiorSapien]

awesome! loved it

[@MrAlsfan5]

This man is brilliant.

[@tomsmith7742]

For those you younger folks who love NDGT (as I do too)- may I suggest that you watch anything you can find with the late Carl Sagan. Tyson took up the torch of popularizing science when Sagan died. In fact, Sagan made the original "Cosmos" series- dated today by its comparatively primitive graphics, but full of brilliant astounding insights. Interesting that both of the fantastic minds were / are astronomers, with the exceedingly rare facility to communicate to (and stir the imaginations of) us common folk.. If Sagan had been President, global warming would not be a thing today. Imagine Tyson debating Donald Trump. What a world, what a world...

[@HopDavid]

Most of the stories Neil tells are addled nonsense. For example Google "Bush and Star Names". The Bush speech Neil recalls at 49:00 is a confused mix of Bush's eulogy for the Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts with his 9-11 speech. However in neither speech did Bush try to set Christians about Muslims. Bush's actual 9-11 speech was.a call for tolerance and inclusion. It was delivered from a mosque. Likewise Neil's stories regarding Ghazali and Newton are also confused garbage. In this video Neil demonstrates the so called skeptics in his audience are as credulous af.

[@rsmith9733]

This is the first time I have heard of this guy. I see him as the "Richard Pryor of the Scientific Community". He makes it more interesting to a regular guy like me. Reminds me of Sinbad too...

[@maheshchaube2456]

Excellent Presentation !!!!! - Stuff of Intellegent design ...He he he he he he

[@asdf89786]

So true this video to me feels like 10 minutes its so good :)

[@avedic]

I love that vest of his. He wears it all the time. It's awesome.

[@MostConscious]

31:25 after talking about electricity and god the static went wild for a sec in some sort of recognition.hmm i need another toke.awesome lecture so far!!!!!!!!

[@MrPhilsterable]

I know right!? Not only is it being brought back but it's being revamped for the progress that has been made in physics, AND Neil deGrasse Tyson is going to be the actual narrator! Can you say BEST...THING...EVER!

[@Coderjo.]

The parenthesis on financial ledgers instead of the negative sign is at least partly because it makes it stand out at a quick glance.

[@rodrigojoseunb]

Perfect Description

[@scifipink]

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is brilliant. I wished I had a teacher like him in school;)

[@Solrac924]

wow, just because someone is loud, sounds confident & makes people laugh? he's an arrogant fool. you should listen carefully. most of what he's saying is opinions. his statements are full of fallacies, especially when speaking of religion.

[@libtrs838]

​@@Solrac924 what did he say that was incorrect besides, intelligent design, in your opinion?

[@boogynights]

Your iconic icon just makes me smirk and just suits you so well when you say comments like that.

[@ravishankervajpayee6371]

Amazing.. 👌

[@tony451216]

Just amazing! I envy his students.

[@MrMizahell]

At 5 min and I am already loving it
