Neil deGrasse Tyson-The Great Courses- My Favorite Universe

This is three lectures from a young Neil. Table of elements, density, black holes takes 2 hours of good refreshing info.

[@faramarzsoltani2564]

Neil is a scientist whom has character, he is not fake.. his knowledge has not make him arrogant... the more he knows the more he respects ignorance.. He has not left us the ordinary people behind.. he is pure love. thank you for all NDT..

[@theduder2617]

Thank you for uploading these lectures!!! I have wanted to revisit these for so long, but during one of the several moves in my life, I have lost ALL of my lectures I had collected. The box of tapes was inadvertently placed on top of the box which held 45 pounds of my neodymium magnets. Foolishly, I labeled the the magnet box, but not the box of tapes.

[@wckdaintgood]

One of the greatest minds that we’ve ever seen. Neil blows me away every time he speaks

[@ChrisBrengel]

You are talking about Carl sagan, right? If you want someone current, I think Brian Greene is brilliant.

Yes, diet pepsi cans floats, regular pepsi cans sink. Not a mystery, sugar water is a bit heavier than water. Pour sugar on the water in the cooler, or salt for that matter, and the regular can of pepsi will surface from the bottom.

[@Kongodiantotela]

I don't understand why there are haters who don't see Neil's greatness.

[@dejomatic]

It's due to a few reasons. First, he repeats himself verbatim. Often. I also listen to Sean Carroll, Brian Cox, Janna Levin, and others. They don't repeat themselves like Neill does. (btw I don't mean repeating yourself for learning purposes. I mean repeating yourself cuz it's easy and a quick soundbite. Like a politician giving the same stump speech over and over) 2nd, he gets stuff wrong in ways I don't understand. For example, he said The JWST is in earth's shadow on a few occasions. Absolutely false, and he has to know that. Also his bit about the billiard ball is wrong. Or at least incomplete. 3rd, his hubris is annoying. On a recent Star Talk with Wendy Freedman, she said there was not evidence there would be a "big rip" and he basically told a working scientist "you're wrong." I'm glad it happened at the end of the show cuz I turned it off after that. And that interaction happens fairly often.

[@rogertoaster9385]

He might be a great entertainer, but as a science communicator he's garbage because he's just so wrong so often or exaggerates things to make topics seem more dramatic.

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

His greatness at being a charlatan?

😮😮I enjoy Dr. Tyson because he says things at my level. He is an effective communicator. . . . . I have tried reading and listening to well known scientists but they are way over my head and I get bored. Maybe someday I will learn enough to understand the other scientists. . I am not stupid. I have college degree and work in an area not related to science.

[@ChrisBrengel]

I agree. At his best, like here, Neil deGrasse Tyson is brilliant. Unfortunately, he is often a loud mouth bully.

[@bigbluebuttonman1137]

Neil Degrasse Tyson and Richard Feynman. They didn’t care about being jargonistic, and are all the better for it. I’m sure others fit the mold, Bill Nye, Adam Savage and Michio Kaku have earned my respect for these regards, but I’m especially attached to these sorts of lectures.

[@ChrisBrengel]

Neil deGrasse tyson, at his best, is brilliant. Usually, however, he is a loudmouth bully. Pictures of Iron Man. [Richard Feynman!] was a certified genius in many ways, particularly as a teacher.

[@ChrisBrengel]

Michio Kaku is horrible! He just cares about getting in front of a camera and making people think "oh wow, he's really smart!" Take a critical look at him. Really, he's the worst.

[@vinnyvdalidemonet8527]

Instead of a rubber duckie, Neil wanted a little rubber Saturn. 😂 lmao

[@1tapsocietyOTS]

IMHO, Carl Sagan was the best there's ever been. I'm a big fan of Brian Green. His PBS specials I think are excellent.

[@theduder2617]

But ONLY if one makes the effort. Anything you want to be is not a default outcome for anyone, regardless of what mommy and daddy says.

[@ChrisBrengel]

He is a very smart guy who has worked very hard to get to where he is. Which is a professional physicist and (at his best) brilliant explainer of astrophysics and the like to the public.

[@whatabouttheearth]

They mention the 2000s in the beginning so it's probably early 2000s Great Courses stuff just looks old.

[@ChrisBrengel]

Sometimes when he's not being a loud mouth bully Neil deGrasse Tyson can actually be pretty awesome.

[@darrinwebber4077]

You've said you'd like to meet Sir Isaac Newton if you could go back in time... But Bruno is the guy I'd like to meet. He just seems like a kindred spirit. (... except for... I suck at math... lol )

I gather that Newton was not just a plagiarist and bully but also a deeply unpleasant man.

[@robertwagner2079]

I wonder, if black holes transmute even heavier elements than what is on our periodic table?

The problem with Neil (if you want to consider it a problem...and you may not) is that I don't know of any important discovery he's made. What he does well is he's a great explicator. Not an inconsiderable accomplishment. But in terms of doing basic science (like Murray Gell-Mann, for instance, or Steven Weinberg), that's not his strength. So, I don't see him as "great" or as a "genius." But I do think he's very good at explaining mathematical complexities -- which can only be fully understood mathematically -- in plain English, explanations that come close to their mathematical equivalents. That's hard to do, and it takes a lot of training and experience to do well. But genius, greatness??? I'd reserve those descriptions for someone like Andrea Ghez or Roger Penrose or the other great discoverers. They're the people who write the scripts that Neil then interprets and explicates in ways most people can understand. I think even Neil would agree with me.

[@kennyalbano1922]

You make a good point. One thing to add is for many years he has run the Hayden planetarium. Which is another way he brings science to the public.
