[@jacobkiesling]

I love that a scientist is a celebrity. Naturally, we gravitate to entertainment, and from there, come our celebrities. Neil is brilliant, humble, open minded, and charasmatic - the typle of large scale influence we need now more than ever.

[@icanfartloud]

What the fuck is this WE shit. You seriously think you know what people need....I think it's time to cachinnate

[@frankytoad12]

Agreed. I can count contemporary science celebrities on my fingers and that shouldn't be the case. We need a larger emphasis on exploration, curiosity, and understanding of our world.

[@RiccyTBeatz]

Jacob Kiesling shutup dude, that comment was stupid

[@Undisputed_mma]

Although he is a great man, he is not a scientist. He just is educated about science. He is a personality, tv host and guest, and author. Scientists dont become celebrities, and if they do its after their career is already over or they are long dead.

[@Dirtfire]

Carl Sagan was just as famous, and like Neil, he understood how humans compare to the rest of the universe. You should watch some of his old "Cosmos" series, which may or may not be on youtube.

[@Ai-Ai-O]

I would HIGHLY recommend the audio book version, since he's narrating. When he speaks, it's mesmerizing.

[@Sinnbad21]

Joshua O'Brien you couldn’t be more right my friend. If you have a society that doesn’t care to know about something then it will be much harder to advance us forward in that particular something. Take Old school Bill Nye (without the politics) and Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. We as a society are presumably much more interested in the field of science bcuz of those two. Therefore we have more people wanting to learn and progress our society. So in a sense Neil is the modern Bill Nye the “Space Guy” making science and astrophysics fun for people and less scary to pursue

What I love about this man is that he puts the magnitude of the cosmos into perspective. Like how he said that it's almost spiritual. It really is. It's a humbling truth that can guide people towards greatness. If a generation was raised on the philosophy of how connected we are to the universe, how we are one of many pieces of a near incomprehensible puzzle, (and not some egotistical race placed here for a divine purpose) i think the beauty of it could drive us forwards as a humbler, kinder, more resolute species.

+JR Nicholson: Apart from all that, I have heard tell Tyson's more or less an atheist. Last I checked, mention the word atheist to the average church-lovin' "God-and-country" voter, and they will clutch their proverbial pearls, say "ohhh, what is this world comin' to, with all these godless heathens," or some similar thing, and go on some sort of crusade to push that atheist off the ticket. The Repugs tried to label Bernie Sanders an atheist just because he dared to be non-sectarian in his spiritual beliefs, rather than specifically claim any Jewish heritage he allegedly had. Because Bernie, being a sane, rational man, knew that spiritual beliefs really shouldn't matter when you're legit doing the right thing by all people. But ohhh, the religious folks had a pearl-clutching fest about that concept, adding fuel to the anti-Bernie fire, sadly. So no, I don't think Tyson would be elected, just because he is, AFAIK, an unapologetic atheist. I profess a Pagan set of beliefs, and don't necessarily agree with atheism.

You know what...this is my 4th time watching this clip and now that I'm high, I understand his perspective soooooo much clearer. It legitimately gave my body chills just imagining it.

[@henrijs1733]

we are the universe not only in spirit but also in matter. bless you, neil

[@leventenagy4302]

Did anyone else just go into a sort of trance while listening to him? He's honestly the greatest explainer and teacher of all time.

[@78Richardab]

Nah

[@0MissPhoenix]

He follows in the footsteps of Carl Sagan

[@Funkeybaybe]

Tyson/Nye 2020 Let's Make America Smart Again!

[@cagnazzo82]

We need that now more than ever.

[@osobaeniola1695]

Jessica Technocracy needs to happen now.

[@tweepy123]

I quote him on that often now XD

[@JoshNishitani]

bill nye is a fraud blood

[@dshehny]

I need this as my bumper sticker now more than ever

[@frazzyblue1384]

It’s very rare to get everyone who’s watching hypnotised but by George he’s done it

[@mztee8107]

Liked Neil's shoutout to the band! He always acknowledges them. Kudos. Also like, "Earth's first selfie".

[@lindzay5359]

Ahh wonderful, uncle Neil dropping by to let us know 'we ain't shit' once again.

[@Megalomaniakaal]

No, hes letting us know we be real special $hit's. Aw yeah. ;)

[@ArmoredChocoboLPs]

Lin Dzay Know those shits you have that are, like...SUPER satisfying, and you get off the toilet like "That felt real good"? That's you to the universe. Sadly those screaming runs that never stop and show up when you don't want them to are also people.

[@tobimakkura]

ArmoredChocobo Dude, that killed me XD!

[@byLizee]

Lin Dzay lmao

[@bojan705]

The elements of which you are comprised from came from the most powerful explosion known to mankind.The process which took billions upon billions of years. I'l say it again:WE CAME FROM A FREAKIN SUPERNOVA and then you take out of context what Neil said, to make him look bad.Well you what,FUCK YOU!

[@Blackrew]

Imagine how cool I'd be to ask him specific questions about the universe that you've been wondering.

[@firstday8405]

Blackrew u can ask him ....he got a KZbin channel where u can send ur questions and he can answer and his show is called Star talk

[@hyecutie1]

Blackrew imagine you arrive home to find a bag of poop on your doorstep. You then ask, 'what the hell is this?' Neil will now answer your question. It's all crap

[@flatoutlogic3615]

Blackrew Like a priest.

[@ozguraydn8]

Questions like " is math related to science?"

[@kevinzhang3313]

you wouldnt need to ask him specifically, you could get those answers to many other sources, places, people

[@harmanjotsingh4230]

Imagine staying with Tyson for 48 hours non stop listening to him talk like that maniacally

[@abdobouchareb6791]

You would graduate with a PhD in astrophysics, easy.

[@zeldaaclone3438]

I’d be cool with that

[@tanyameshram445]

Where do I sign up?

[@vinayaktyagi1366]

There's a very low-key smile on his face when he says something mind-blowingly cool, and he knows he did. Love it.

[@iloveass2289]

I love how passionate he is about what he does.

[@jalyssapeters3869]

He is a teacher, not a preacher.

[@jalyssapeters3869]

His laughter reminded me of the Joker's laugh in the movie

[@PhoeFireaga]

Nice waist-coat & tie ensemble, Uncle Neil!

[@xolanikhumalo9267]

Wow wow....the guy is just a gem.The articulation of facts and the passion is on another level❤❤❤

[@billnye69]

As a real Christian (not the lunatic ones), I love N.G.T and everything he does.

[@sergiolikesdonuts]

this counts as studying for my exams

[@ToxicLucidity]

The earth is flat and NDT is a gatekeeper. I have tested the absence of curvature (and many people around the world are doing the same) and I posted the evidence on my channel.

[@TheManfio]

Oh you poor thing, I thought you were kidding there for a second... damn. I'm so sorry for you. I know non-Euclidean geometry is hard, but you can't just say nonsense like that and expect to be taken seriously as an adult...

[@ToxicLucidity]

TheManfio Okay. Explain what there is no curvature at 15 km as I showed on my latest video.

[@TheManfio]

Because you weren't far away enough from the surface, son... I could tell you why in detail, but what's the point? Talking with conspiracy nuts is the same as playing chess with pigeons, they'll just crap on the board and think they won the game. It's ok to be different, just stay safe in your lollipop word of unicorns and tooth fairies, whatever helps you cope. Leave the real life to the adults.

[@ToxicLucidity]

TheManfio what is the minim distance then. Perhaps you should see evidence posted with similar equipment where longer distances still can hide the supposed curvature. I have one video where I can see targets at >20km that should not be visible.

[@MrNotThatFamous]

love me some Neil!

[@Robert-mc7bz]

Round earth shill

[@jasongeorge3821]

earth is flat sorry to burst your bubble

[@vipt6099]

I love this guy! Wish I was half as smart.

[@hahhah999]

Blazif Mozif uh oh

[@TheRogueWolf]

You can't burst my bubble 'cause it's flat.

[@angelcruz0143]

His passion makes me want to follow him. Neil for president! ✊🏽

[@waterproof4403]

I love him. He is extraordinary

[@wizkhalifasmoke]

and why don't we have a man like this in office.. man society is fucked up

[@Dr.TJ1]

+kevinmuehl Muehlkevin Neil has pointed out on multiple occasions that law degrees are vastly over-represented in Congress and that for Congress to be truly representative, it should have people from all professions.

[@delvictor7570]

kevinmuehl Muehlkevin cuz he's the equivalent to the the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.

[@wizkhalifasmoke]

no everything he says is backed up by facts lol

[@ceryseira]

I think you're referring to the Trump Administration :')

[@wizkhalifasmoke]

you're a moron in middle America @littlekelt95

[@The.Vintage]

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a boss.

[@coyote000]

In the new Zelda...?

[@ArmoredChocoboLPs]

VintageThe He's the super boss. You face him after beating Ganon with 900 Koroks, 120 shrines, all 4-star gear and 100% map completion. He tells you all that work was meaningless to the cosmos and slam-dunks you back to the beginning through a wormhole.

[@ToxicLucidity]

He is a gatekeeper for NASA. He does not want you to know what space is really about. The earth is flat (as far as we can see) and motionless (as far as we can see).

[@sapnupuas2828]

he's too op then

[@Sushiman118]

VintageThe I heard he was planet-buster class

[@pzych0p4th]

I could listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson for the rest of my life just explaining everything in existence! He explains everything so well, in terms of science and as he so gently put it "not dumbed down" yet you still understand what he's talking about, that's just how good he is, besides being the most awesome dude!

[@bdr420i]

Always awesome entrances he is a boxer a real life superheroe he is the best of the best educators 🤩❤️

[@galic711]

This is one book I'll actually read

[@hyecutie1]

Chris Galic too bad you can't read...

[@Dubbsteppa21]

get the audio book i think hes the one who narrates it

[@ahnafahmad324]

WHERE'S COSMOS SEASON 2

[@arthurfurniss4147]

Ahnaf Ahmad I've been asking the same thing

[@galahgilang3996]

*omg yes please*

[@AS8643]

Ahnaf Ahmad that is an excellent question!

[@MrAkiyamamio]

We all need this

[@rare6499]

I've been wondering this as well!

[@Thunder_Cheek01]

What i like about Stephen is that he knows to be quiet when a scientist is speaking, unlike other hosts. It's like they have to interrupt so their brain can catch up.

[@namastewellness]

Løng Phåm Jimmy Kimmel is the worst for that smh.

[@miguelbarlaan3741]

Neil's laugh sounds just like Heath Ledger's and Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

[@Dudeonwheels]

I like Chris Pratt just as much as anybody, but why was his segment longer than NDT's?

[@bothersomethoughts]

$$$$$$

[@splashpont]

"Star" Power.

[@thucnguyen4501]

Carlos Manriquez not bc of star power, imo. It is bc Neil had been on the show at least 4 or 5 times already. Through out Stephen's career, he had Neil on like a dozen. Neil will come back while pratt is on his 2nd or maybe 1st appearance. Hence, longer segment.

[@splashpont]

Interestingly, the video with the movie "star" has less views than this video with the man about the stars.

[@sleepingbackbone7581]

@splashpont: as it should be :)

[@demi-fiendvideos9207]

Neil deGrasse Tyson = automatic click

[@Curly4000]

FlyThai I read that as automatic dick. Was so confused lol

[@relax5367]

Curly4000 me too. my mind is corrupted

[@alexderoche1861]

Curly4000 hahaha! Me too.

[@Drmeusa]

Neil ki positive energy vibrant body language sarapa blessing 💯👍🏼 Thank you Doc ❤

[@scottish5696]

Neil is such a great speaker, he lured me in on the space topics. 👏

[@LULU47093]

Love whenever NDT is with Stephen! And the discussion and the chemistry.

[@shadowkittycat97]

he talks with his hands in the best way

[@hyecutie1]

shadowkittycat97 its turrets. He's working on it.

[@pixelfriendly2601]

Reuben Hodgins Fuck is turrets.

[@mabusantichrist7594]

shadowkittycat97 he has better hand movement then wannabe rappers

[@Hummingbird25]

Mind blowing and beautifully said ❤️

[@Krux01]

Because the atoms in our body come from stars - you could say that for the very brief time that we exist as a species, and where we atomically come from the universe is aware of its own existence.

[@jamesdooling4139]

The Silver River is indeed ancient Asian "slang" (respectful, poetic) for the Milky Way. The Silver River was a place only the gods could visit. The rest of us had to look on at night with wonder, awe, and imagination.

[@jross9800]

James Dooling there’s so much lost and hidden information about many civilizations in different periods of time that would probably blow our minds. It’s amazing.

[@huzz1318]

I’ve always found the universe fascinating! Knowing how beautiful it is whilst having barely explored it just builds up curiosity in me to what may lay in the great mystery above us! I love knowledge.

[@giohouse643]

James Dooling This is bullshit. We measure a perspective by how much rock we stand on? We have beating hearts and consciousness. We came from superfucming novas. Fuck Noel Degrasse (he’s awesome) and fuck stuff in space. Were the crown jewel

[@bravonana10]

Giovanni Campanella Nah, we aren’t

[@westsidemuzik2521]

Giovanni Campanella lmfao whats wrong with u

[@pamelagot7730]

Finally, something relevant to humanity, THANK YOU!

[@hyecutie1]

pamela gallardo You aren't human... so it's not relevant to you...

[@scamtester_nft]

If his books are anything like how he explains stuff, I’m instantly hooked

[@jeffb6052]

Neil's awesome, love to hear him talk.
