I think Niel is the type of genius that is scatter brained, so if he doesn't spit out his current thought, he loses that thought. He's kinda guilty of that a lot.

It didnt bother me because he at least went back and had Adam finish his thoughts, answers etc. More annoying when someone like chuck interrupts and just derails the whole thing with a "joke"

[@DiscombobulatedSenpai]

A great guest to have on the show. I always love Adam's energy and passion for creating. Regarding the topic of failure, the best way I've heard it described, is: _"Failure is not the oposite of success, but rather the complimentary precursor to it. More often than not, you must fail before you can succeed. The only way to truely fail, is to not try at all"_

[@terrizittritsch745]

My biggest complaint with him is that he cannot let his guest reference another person without getting them to explain who they are. Like when Adam says "Jamie and I" and Neil butts in getting him to confirm that Jamie is the other Mythbusters co-host.. lol WHY?

[@curtskywalker7441]

He did. There are FAR TOO MANY people who have no idea how intellectual discussions take place. And instead of learning, they decide they want their preconceived notions of how discussions should take place enforced. Spend a lot more time listening and paying attention to the world around you and amazing things may come to light. If intellectual conversation is above your level of understanding, perhaps Rogan will be slow enough for you. Funny. No one mentioned interruption until rogan was interrupted in order to address complete inaccuracies in what he was saying. Suddenly, all intelligent conversation became "interruption" for no logical reason what so ever. But ONLY where Neil is concerned. Amazing how intellect completely butthurts lesser minds now isn't it?

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" sounds like a quote Flat Earther live by.

[@falcovg2]

It doesn't just sound like one, it's their motto.

[@Zed0086]

xdragon2k I really like The Degrassi but until he debates Eric Dubey, he is rejecting the foundation of science and showing how it is now a religion and not “Science”. I suggest you do the research into flat earth instead of following the path of the opposing side telling you “The Flat Earth Society”. Which is straight bullshit. No, I am not a Flat Earther and no I’m not a person that only believes what the mainstream media and science says. Both lie. Both cheat. Not have been caught doing both things and show they are controlled by the same hands. Overlapping plausible truths with big words and laughter while at the same time speaking about theoretical sciences passed off as truths and taught in school is a tactic used to manipulate. That’s a key factor of why “Chuck Nice” is on the show. Let me save you your breath... free thinking is not the same as a Conspiracy Theorist.

[@BlackEpyon]

​@@Zed0086 Sensationalism tends to spoil science, but it's often the only way to get people interested. It's a necessary evil. Know however that the popular press does not equal scientific literature. If you want to know what's going on, read the journals. If a scientist publishing in a journal is ever found to be wrong, or lying, it is ALWAYS by other scientists who've tried what was published, and found it to not work, and never by self-professed "experts" on the interwebz. Ever wonder why flat-earthers never get into peer reviewed journals, and have to rely on self-publishing on the internet? It's the same reason you never find a flat-earther who's also a surveyor. It doesn't work.

[@Zed0086]

BlackEpyon you flat earthers that are from every career field humans have. So point is valid. Today’s population is very very dumbed down and needs comedy to grasp on to things. Which how lies and fluff is easily promoted. Science is debate. To not debate something that is mocked so much proves something is being mislead. I respect the hell out of Tyson but at the same time by him not wanting to debate Eric changes my thoughts on him and the consensus of of science. Truth doesn’t need comedy. With all of the focus that’s put towards space... if that focus was put on earth, we wouldn’t have any of the problems we have today. Not only that, Nikolai Tesla would be in the light. Not bullshit Edison.

[@BlackEpyon]

@@Zed0086 Not every field. There are no flat-earther astronauts, for obvious reasons, just as there are no flat-earther astronomers. An easy case in point is that the stars rotate overhead over the course of the night, as everybody knows. This makes sense if you're the central object within a firmament, but NOT if southern latitudes look upon a different starfield than northern ones, which they do, and equatorial latitudes will see parts of both skies. This fact necessitates that the surface of the earth between north and south has curvature to it that intersects with the centre of gravity perpendicular to zenith. Likewise, there are no flat-earther Science has debate, but debate is NOT science. The method and core tenants of science were best summarized by Carl Sagan. They are that 1) there are no sacred truthes, and 2) whatever is inconsistent with the facts, no matter how fond if it we are, must be discarded or revised. A fact is a unit of data that can be measured or observed. Either your hypothesis is supported by the known facts, or it is not. And if it is not, you must change your hypothesis so that it does conform to the facts, or you must discard it and start anew. The only time debate ever happens in science, is where the facts are not known, or are unclear. For instance, it is no longer debated by academic scientists that biological evolution is the best and most consistent explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. What IS debated, are fields of uncertainty, like which mechanisms of selection may be dominant in a given evolutionary scenario, or what was before the Big Bang; fields where there is insufficient data to reach a consensus. Most professional scientists don't debate crackpots because 1) nobody in the scientific community takes them seriously, and 2) it would give the crackpots and their fans the illusion that they're more relevant than they are, by using the reputation of the scientist as a springboard. Public debates are venues of opinion. Scientific debate happens in the journals, and only lasts until one hypothesis or the other is effectively disproven, and the disproven one is either discarded or revised. "Flat-earth" lost that debate centuries ago, because what had become known disproved that notion, no matter how much religion tried to save it and suppress the expression and advancement of science. Nikolai Tesla does get recognition among the scientifically literate, not to mention anybody familiar with electricity. Thomas Edison remains a household name in America because he was American, and Tesla was not. "Alternating Current" was chosen as the means of long-range electrical transmission because it was found to be simpler, cheaper, and more reliable in that application. But that has nothing to do with space. Looking into space does help us down here. It puts things into perspective, as the photos of Earth taken from lunar orbit during the Apollo missions have proven time and time again. We went to another world, and looked back to discover Earth. A vantage point from where borders are not apparent, and petty squabbles about nationality and religion mean nothing. A fragile world, where from that vantage point the film of blue that we call our vast atmosphere is comparatively thinner than the skin of an apple. Studying other planets, especially Mars and Venus, and comparing their atmospheric compositions and climates with models of Earth's atmospheric composition and climate, we can gauge the accuracy of the models used to predict future climate on Earth and determine definitively what the drivers of these climates really are, and how great a roll they play. It should also be stated, as I do whenever this argument of "why are we spending money up there when we could be spending it down here?" comes up, is that what we spend on space pales in comparison to what we spend on killing each other. Ie: NASA gets an average of 0.5% of the annual fiscal budget, while the DoD gets and average of 18%, a factor of 36 in difference. One application of funds promises hope for the future, and the other does everything it can to ensure that somebody does not HAVE a future. I utterly reject the notion that there is too much emphasis put on space, because it is an objectively false narrative.

I Believe there's a deeper truth to this and its all human beings want to do is learn and spread as much information as far as possible.

[@Eric.Morrison]

@@mr.smooth7809 I think the reason there is so much division and discord today is because when we were small tribes, the elder or the shaman told the story and we believed it. There was a powerful cohesion because we knew what the picture was and our places within it, even if the story wasn't true. Now that there are 7 billion of us all connected through the internet and thanks to modern science, we care a great deal about the truth - and no one can agree on the story. It's gonna take one hell of a story, and one hell of a storyteller to get this global tribe united.

[@mr.smooth7809]

@@Eric.Morrison I agree and the sad thing is, in the beginning, the best storytellers probably told stories/lessons of triumphant hunts and escapes of death that enabled them to eat a little better and have their pick of a mate and that somehow grew into stories of deities and eternal life that enabled the storyteller the same food and sex plus the ability to control men and guide the evolution of civilization..... Conclusion, I believe when we first started telling "stories" we didn't really have the capacity to truly imagine and create "stories" that were outside of everyday experiences but eventually "einstein" come along and had the most amazing story that could give you hope of eternal life yay. So of course everyone listened and really really liked the story and eventually after generations of hearing it became more then a story it became tradition and culture.

They should not have interrupted Adam Savage every 5th or 10 second he speaks

[@jordananthony5058]

Shut up lol

[@JoshuaMerrill042]

Probably my favorite episode!

[@Chuck.1715]

Neil I so hate you, and I so love you. And weirdly enough I don't see any contradiction in that statement.

[@jeremiahnorman]

terms of absolution is difficult enough but I also noticed Neil acting more like he was gay and stopped listening to his voice

[@silentotto5099]

I recall reading once that the Polynesians who explored and settled many islands across the Pacific had discovered that in places where one would normally think any ground water would be salty, like a coral atoll or the sort of volcanic islands in the Hawaiian archipelago, once can still find fresh ground water if the place gets enough rain. Apparently, because fresh water is lighter than salt water, rain will soak into the soil and form a layer of fresh water on top of the salt water. Since it's in the ground and is more or less protected from any forces which would cause the fresh and salt waters to mix it stays stratified. That knowledge was one of the things that made their voyages possible. Perhaps Jamie encountered that phenomena, rather than the sand filtering out the salt.

I don't see what Chuck adds to these interviews. Between his poor attempts at comedy and Neil's sporadic interjections, Adam could barely talk. I feel like he didn't even really get to talk about his book at all. Neil and Chuck are incredibly rude to their guest here. I love you Neil, but stop disagreeing just to be contrary. Wait until you actually have something to contribute to the conversation and then ACTUALLY LET YOUR GUEST TALK!!

[@noneofyourbusiness7571]

Jake Ward I respect your opinion. However, Chuck might be not the best out there but no one can handle interviews with Dr. Tyson like him, his comedy on point, he the charisma of this show. Regarding the mentioning of the book, they actually mentioned it like 5 times over the course of 52 minutes which is more than enough. This how PR works, you bring the host, you have a good conversation while selling your product. Maybe you an Adam fan and believe me he is one of my favorites, but you know it when get in a conversation with Dr. Tyson this is how it will go. You have to push back and it was a fun interview to be honest.

[@JohnLopezDeveloper]

I am with Adam. Having to master all of mechanical know-how, just gives you a natural urge for hunting for better and better materials. Material science has been born due to the need of better, more efficient and stronger materials.

[@stiimuli]

Gee it would have been nice to hear more from Adam instead of Neil talking for most of the hour. =/

[@kyle666999333]

Two of my favorite legends! Love it.

[@IH8YH]

HR GIGER is from Switzerland not Germany Adam.....you should know that if he had such an impact on you.

[@jonathankyle963]

Knowning where he was born(or not) doesnt mean he couldnt have been impactfull

[@ianh4297]

hes also from chur which is ethnically German so...its kinda a semantics thing

[@robm5581]

9:40 this is a great tip for any art IMO, so long as you're trying to create something truly your own.

[@kTTWSYFk]

I really wanted to listen but Adam just kept getting talked over constantly and it was annoying

[@daryljonesfoster4102]

Bro did you apply lips stick before snapping your KZbin profile picture ?

[@lordcrayzar]

Daryl Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious bro did you take your shirt off before snapping your profile picture?

[@user-xs3og8us3d]

Rich mix of subjects. I did not expect Bob Fosse coming up? Loved it.
