[@ErayYT]

Love the way this man is able to put difficult concepts into easily understandable analogies.

[@whosmav628]

He is a shill. Watch him explain how the Earth is pear shaped, they can't even keep the lies together. Are you telling me you are rolling with a guy who says the Earth is a pear?

[@l91106]

whosmav628 youre so dumb, when he says pear shaped its not literally the shape of a pear, you have difficulty grasping the scale of the earth, what he means is it bulges out slightly at the bottom, but given the scale of the earth its negligible, its for all intensive puposes round

[@supermcfly100]

whosmav628 He's such a fraud

[@whosmav628]

l91106 No he did not say negligible. You a shill or what? You afraid to see the truth, that these things you speak of you have no real sense. You rely on actors like NDT to tell you fantastica lies that are outlandish and unprovable. I know it is hard at first, but try and open your eyes a little bit. Be humble and truly assess the facts. Look at the pictures they show us that they say is the earth, they are provably photoshopped and always different sized continents. And it is always round in the pictures, not pearish so NDT is lying about that too. It's a lot to wrap your head around bit damn how long will it take some people? You just believe whatever you are told?

[@l91106]

whosmav628 hes not lying about it being a pearshape, but i dont think you understand the concept of what he meant, youre clearly not educated in this sort of thing or your mind has a difficult time grasping the scale of the earth, yes the earth does bulge out at the bottom slightly, given the scale of the earth tho it will still look round

[@oldiezz7605]

I love when Neil is on Sway, he's so down to earth

[@bloodside2face]

Even more sinister if you knew his true agenda

[@OnePlancheMan]

to educate the public and improve humanity?

[@TheGilbertorr]

LMAO 2 face has that insider information. Give me a break.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Don't worry, I got the joke.

[@lsajetnz]

Could listen to him speak all day long!

[@rasmick00]

wtf!!? why some y'all haten on this brilliant man!.?...sit your $5 ass down and soak up the knowledge!

[@dugginmcbeats5930]

Neal Degrasse Tyson is for real, and it's about time people became more aware of him. Much respect for having him on your show.

[@KingDennisJensen]

I love Neil so much. Learned a lot from him because he can break down scientific facts so that people like me can understand them lol.

[@mmawarfare5844]

Do flat earthers believe all planets are flat or just the one we live on? If you're going to claim the earth is flat why not say they all are.

[@keatonspence3366]

MMA Warfare just the earth

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Because flat Earthers are trying to give support to creationism. They believe the Earth is at the center of the galaxy(or I should say space).

[@apparentlymyusernameistool3721]

pretty sure they think other planets are just projections in the sky or some shit

[@mastermanio2]

+P.O M.E No, it's like saying that if you grow up somewhere where white is defined as the color white, then anything that is colored white is white. The word 'planet' has a very strict definition, and it just so happens that ALL are spherical.

[@dasteelerz7413]

let me guess - planets dont exist lol

[@simplyrob8812]

this man should be president for mankind better the earth for the future of mankind

[@silviavalentine3812]

Totes agree

[@megozzful]

Science needs all the exposure it can get. I deeply appreciate this man and all of the wonderful work he's doing.

[@seeingjustseeing]

That hat is killing me. Looking like Indiana Crocodile Dundee Jones Tyson.

[@xxfacex]

seeingjustseeing HAHA that's the best! Only If he had a fucking whip and a big ass knife.

[@snekestudios900]

6:10 Poor guy didn't get on camera

[@NeaEmrys]

ikr!

[@HelpMeFindTheseSongs]

Neil's laugh makes me laugh.

[@victavish6352]

I know Logic is going to watch this today and be so hype about the way that these two are talking about him.. Logic is a genius. Nothing but respect for all of them 👊

[@MrBionicMonkey]

you know what time stamp in the video that's at?

[@ThePresentofGod]

Joel Fernandez 7:40

[@bluesscript9476]

maaan i need that logic album...

[@gabos7892]

LOL I love the "oh hey!" sound effect

[@Sjoerd2212]

"Science can never be a culture unless it's openly recieved by artists" something like that Tyson said. fucking amazing quote! #stonedAF

[@coryclark9336]

NDT is a poet. Love listening to him.

[@beartusk420]

Why would anyone care how B.O.B. thinks the universe works? He's a rapper, not a physicist, or even a philosopher. Deductive reasoning isn't part of his repertoire. Telling stories through rhyme lyrics is his forte, not performing science. Please think about important concepts logically people. Know how to separate proven facts from unfounded hypothesis'.

[@rattle701]

KTusk hahahahahaha

[@TheGdp]

Do ur research on both sides before you subscribe to a belief.

[@jacksonthoroughgood1447]

Neil has dedicated himself to shedding knowledge and teaching people the facts, I think its cool that he wants to educate people like B.O.B who think these plain stupid "theories", how else are we going to expand our knowledge when large artists like him are influencing fans and others to believe the earth is flat

[@silviavalentine3812]

Philosophers have no say in science

[@TheAlpineShepherdBoy]

I can , and do, watch Neil Degrasse Tyson interviews all day. When it's on Sway , that's just icing on the cake.

[@citronm1405]

I believe the painting Neil references is "The School of Athens" by Raphael.

[@bushyhenryngwako3731]

He's so amazing... I wanna have that book!

[@skyguy5587]

where's that song at with logic?

[@BallJuiceOfZeus]

if the earth is flat why arent pizzas round?

[@armandosoto1852]

Didn't know who Neil Degrasse Tyson was until Sways (as always) respectable introduction. I need to become a citizen lol

[@murfdaddydolla]

Who all caught that Dave Chappelle reference @24:25? "He rapes but he saves!" lmao

[@socialninja22]

I’d love to hangout with this guy! He’s like, the “Prince” of science!

[@ciao_abhi]

neil so well spoken

[@alexrmz09]

Highly recommend you watch this high 🍃

[@reese373]

These comments are amazing lol So many scholars and experts.

[@scorpio34ish]

His laugh is amazing😂

[@killiller]

[@Ghosttt3]

Neil's laugh is LIFE

[@NJP695]

Sway upgraded their thumbnails

[@MeTriviSlipKlokDriva]

24:24 Heather B quoted Dave Chappelle :D

[@EvilNeil187]

NDT LEGEND!

[@Mrvalentino555]

[@YelloDuzzit]

I need to make a role model a la carte, shiiiiit!! Lol

[@YelloDuzzit]

"well that might not necessarily be so!!" is goin on my next protest sign... at wrestle mania

[@ApexSkate12]

Love this guy

[@ThousanWhite]

I lost it 19:45

[@clsupreme7408]

[@MrPep718]

[@Faaade_]

I loved this interview!

[@danielveiga1337]

My hero =D

[@greytheprofessional7413]

oh shit, Neil a citizen! Nice! 👑🐐

[@McCarthy1776]

When the guy asked about fake scientists taking the fame, I immediately thought "Bill Nye" lol.

[@dieanne3]

[@lukewest5896]

Heather waited the whole interview to throw shade at him at the end...

[@JefferyBlue]

"I just wanted him to get on camera." ~Sway ......only his hand barely makes it on cam for the handshake.

[@Mylove_94]

Love Neil Degrasse Tyson!

[@Pherrora]

Neil's the man

[@marsdenmurray4413]

low key tryna get his biopic going

[@bradley2494]

Rick from rick and morty has Really helped revamp the Science community

[@Leotv19]

Sci-fi community more than anything

[@GTOHGIC]

But what is gravity

[@tehsma]

I was hoping they would shout out Hidden Figures. Such an incredibly inspiring film. Every young girl- and especially young women of color- should see it.

[@antoniobdominiko]

thanks for the hookup - IFLS

[@roastarena]

one correction Neil a scientist would be concidered "An inch wide and a mile deep" ahh see.. because typically they are experts in one specific field of study.

[@MrEherndon5]

Millz Jacob his perspective probably.

[@cryvsspy]

Let's green eggs and ham it!

[@poseidonwarrior6111]

But Shaq said he was joking on Jimmy Kimmel

[@destructionbydesign8777]

PoseidonWarrior but shaq followers will look in to the true earth we kno he has millions of followers will research for themselves

[@OnePlancheMan]

"research" as in watch KZbin videos made by guys who've never been outside their mom's basement. Yes, real research.

[@Likerholicz]

Shaq is also a free mason. That's why he believes that the earth is flat.

[@mikeha1214]

Likerholicz Except that the flattards think that the masons are responsible for "hiding the truth" about the flat earth. Or illuminati. Or the Jesuits. Or nazis.

[@bigmac1274]

Galileo actually from Tampa

[@Naughtism]

Even though I don't always agree with him on social issues, when he talks science , I fucking shut up and listen

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

I have wet dreams where Neil takes religion down at full force. Just imagine it...

[@deadmanperipherals]

yup

[@moz4639]

Neil, MAH MAN !

[@Pherrora]

role model a la carte, very good!

[@alejandrosanchez8112]

MY BOY LOGIC IS IN WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. YUH!

[@Randomgeneratedhandle]

SCIENCE!!!

[@edwardrobinson8947]

I just come to watch heather and degrasse 🙏💛

[@Asapgross]

Why Neil dressed like Jack Hanna

[@jakefrankrone5850]

Wake up people, Earth is triangular and I'm Jesus of Rigdemont High! jk lol

[@z3k378]

@huge mongus hey it's me but from the future

[@Davemountain-rp6id]

Jaden smith "lost tape" mixtape album have tunes of environmental and scientific ideas and subject in his raps. if Niel and Jaden did something together... bro the internet would explode!

[@carriornelas803]

This is the same guy that says football placekickers should allow for the rotation of the Earth

[@Mr._Anderpson]

I know Dr. Tyson said no one thinks that we borrow the world from our descendants, but that is actually a very old Native American proverb. "We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our descendants." I normally wouldn't deign myself fit to disagree with an intellect such as his, but this is one of those rare moments when he demonstrates his humanity & ability to be (occasionally) incorrect.

[@TheGENII]

this deserves way more views.. what the fuck is happening? i saw this when it first came out with almost none.. and it still and almost none lol. rap game needs to step up

[@Leotv19]

Still low

[@Pfromm007]

Glad Neil doesn't mock people whoes world views might be misguided, otherwise a lot less minds would be changed for the better.

[@SharunoYO]

''Everybody'' 5/5/17 still can't believe that Neil is on Logic's third album. Crazyyy

[@rafaeldellossantos258]

and they say we don't impact the earth..

[@dr.feelgood2358]

he is so damn real for someone with his background. he rarely uses his doctor title, which he worked hard to get. i'd love to shake your hand Neil! Logic too. i'm so impressed. his comment about religion bankrupting states by subverting science is profound. you can't merge 1700 year old doctrine with modern scientific evidence...that won't work!

[@luu4448]

If you cherry pick traits from people to come up with an 'ideal role model' you create unrealistic expectations of yourself. You dont learn that people fail, that failure is an inherent part of life much like success is. I believe you need to see that people have shortcomings and their recovery from said failures is one of the fundamentals of a 'strong' and adaptive human personality. But Neil is quite smart.

[@carterjohnson7636]

Neil could spit a fire freestyle about space and shit

[@douglasgraham883]

This is my first time watching the show and first there were three. Then it showed that a 4th person was there and I was like , alright, guess they were just ingnoring her for the shot but ok. There's a fourth person at the table. Then the fifth person chimes in and i'm like wait, how many fucking people are at this table? lol

[@Leotv19]

They actually have the largest table ever constructed, but the smallest camera frame possible.

[@jama3335]

i hope in the future i am half as cool as Neil Degrasse Tyson

[@junetynf]

24:24 Wtf?

[@Perennestore010]

Black people make everything cool, I'm telling you.

What in swaynation?

[@bloodside2face]

U get me... Swaynation into brainwashing.

[@Leotv19]

@@bloodside2face what exactly is brainwash here?

[@brendanharan4501]

Unfortunately ten percent might be a bit of a low ball estimate.

[@jamesg6035]

I'm curious of your level of education, but before you go off about the "system," I'm curious of how many processes you can justify with your logic; keeping in mind the vast majority of our everyday lives are governed by these processes.

[@nigelsenchez]

Your wrong, im right, No im right your wrong.... Neil Tyson, "lets look at the evidence together"

[@doc-holliday-]

"several hundred a day" and people are always surprised when you see a celebrity in a bad mood every now and then.

[@ViolentPeace7]

B.O.B had a good point though. What would you expect a NASA guy like NDT to say that the earth is flat if it actually is lool, obviously he's going to back up his industry.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

This was cool, but next time, we need to get Neil freestyling on 5 fingers of death.

[@JungleJargon]

Industry likes honest people, Neil, contrary to your assertion.
