StarTalk Podcast: The End of The World, with Josh Clark and Neil deGrasse Tyson

[@StarTalk]

How do you think the world will end?

[@Vimarsh24]

Entropy

[@alexanderg8466]

The world or our universe?? Because I believe the world will never end

[@ThePinnacleSFA]

Accidental nuclear detonation and the following widespread chaos

[@ToTheStarsSB]

If we are speaking eradication of life, then probably at our own hands in war or getting hit by a giant space rock. I think any other possibilities are too far out for us to be able to comprehend.

I am a 73 year old Canadian male who spent most of my life in music. I've never hit "the big time" but have supported myself well and am happy with my life so far. lol My comment to you Mr. Tyson is, Thank You! I never had the advantage of education (left school in grade ten due to no family support) but I've always had a deep interest in WHY? Since following yourself and your scientific colleagues for many years online now, I feel I've learned so many things, from Quantum Mechanics to the histories of the greatest scientists. I hope that in the future, other "disadvantaged" folks like me, continue to learn from people like you. I feel I have become part of a scientific community, if not for my education, at least for my curiosity. And being curious is what keeps me active in life, music and happiness. Have a great day sir and again, Thank You!!

[@tailofeddas555]

I think Chuck's humour is underrated. He's quick and subtle at times and has an understanding of comedy. Often with spontaneous gold! I really like this episode.

[@TheDeadlyDan]

I'm just about to turn 64, and I've lived my life trying to learn at least one new thing every day. So far, so good . . .

[@ericwilde3837]

have you gotten to the point where you realize that there is way more to learn than you have in your whole life thus far?

[@mattdaemontargaryen5256]

Have you been a vegetarian? If so , do you regret it?

[@TheDeadlyDan]

@@ericwilde3837 That happened a very very long time ago.

[@TheDeadlyDan]

@@mattdaemontargaryen5256 My sisters talked me into trying vegetarian maybe twenty years ago. After maybe two months, I was so ill I had to stop. I love vegetables of all sorts, but I honestly need meat to keep healthy.

[@TheDeadlyDan]

@St0rm Ranger I was working with computers in 1972, when they filled two whole rooms and programming was done with jumper wires you'd plug into a wire-frame. Today is childs play compared with what we did. It was a long road to get them to the point where any four-year old and some chimpanzees can swipe a phone.

12:21 I love how uniquely talented Neil is at pointing out tropes in popular media, his interactions with others especially in the media has trained him so well to see between the lines. These guys delight me, and this show never fails to impress and entertain :)

[@danoliver3053]

"Doctor, will I ever dance again?" "Only with me." 😂 I felt like that quick response went unappreciated. @2:40

Ty for helping me listening to yal makes my anxiety go down I love to learn and keeping me thinking about stuff that is bigger than me thank you

[@rudydborboa1098]

Thank you sir, for being a beacon of light in our culture today. You and those you have on help bring science and it's multitude of fields to the pubic in a way the masses can perceive. And you connect it to real life issues, possibilities, ethics and philosophy.

[@91plm]

honestly i loved the first part of the show where youd dived more. lighting round you just skimmed the surface and created even more questions.

[@OllamhDrab]

Well, it sounds like each of those questions would make another great show like this, I think the format works, that way. :)

[@johnyepthomi892]

Well , that’s the point.

[@GewanMadoo]

I looked at the length of this video, and thought I didn’t have the 49 mins right now, but started watching anyway. Before I knew it, 30 very interesting minutes went by. Great conversation. Thanks.

Chuck was way awesome on this episode. You can tell he's learning so much just by being surrounded by other great minds. Awesome talk.

I’m here because of Josh. I think he was tolerating those to d-bags.

Yay, another episode of StarTalk, woohoo, Neil you are my favorite go to channel for science and astronomy! I watched almost all of your online videos or you featured in them and i also read your books !!! Love you Neil, you are my idol, sending regards from Europe/Slovenia #AlwaysLookUp

[@CeeBarrio1]

He's an idiot actor!

[@CeeBarrio1]

@Joe Horn dude u responded on two of my comments.

[@CeeBarrio1]

@Joe Horn like I said if you're so "smart" and look at movies and get mad when they don't equate to what you been told is accurate how in the hell did he say "u know we went to the moon because they had just enough fuel to get ti the moon and back" ???? Wtf kinda flawed logic is that? "Uuu know I went to Florida from NY cause i had just enough fuel to get to Florida and back" lol how about i just drove around NY blocks or i even went to PA back and forth a couple of times or to Wisconsin!?? But if you think thia dude is smart idk bro... He regurgitates stuff he's OBVIOUSLY not a problem solver imagine he was a detective or even a politician hes better off narrating tv shows and regurgitating sht he heard/learned from OTHERS he's NOT (absolutely not) a critical thinker. And these ppl look at the rest of us like we're idiots and they're privy to some unspoken knowledge LMFAO keep following the followers bro! Lol

[@CeeBarrio1]

@Joe Horn no I DIDN'T take the quote of out of context! You don't even know what that IS "you took that out of context" lol yes the context of hos proof we went to the moon that was EXACTLY what he said (I'm *not* a flat earther btw or a Jesus juice drinker) that said you're not very intelligent nor is Tyson. Mike Tyson is more intelligent than Neil! *TRUST ME*

[@VeryUsMumblings]

17:47 In defense of Douglas Adams, 'knowing where your towel is' is important based on the most useful thing(s) for an interstellar hitch-hiker, not the survival of the apocalypse! :)

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I like it when NDT grabs the books on his shelves and talks about them. Actually wish he'd do it more (he's talked about "Gravitation" which is there somewhere). I've also noticed that the book behind Chuck Nice changes orientation between episodes often enough. Someone either references it a lot or they're doing it on purpose lol.

[@edoardoalistairsalvino7863]

I think he's pausing because he doesn't want you to watch viedos while he's in you

[@Raz.C]

@@edoardoalistairsalvino7863 Edoardo? Your sentence is missing something. "...watch viedos [sic] while he's in you," implies something sexual. Now I have to admit, I always wished that some of my sexier lady teachers had taken sexual advantage of me when I was in school, but even I'm weirded out by the images conjured by your comment.

[@jennk3106]

Right

[@M0rn1n6St4r]

The world, as we know it, will end from famine (and food wars). Crop failure... economic failure (with automation/AI a factor)... overpopulation. Take your pick. Unlike every other solution to climate change, famine is guaranteed to work. Drastic population reduction via denial of access to food; cuts the greenhouse emissions of those affected by 100%. If we were switching the entire planet to nuclear power, I might believe we were implementing a kind solution to climate change. Apparently, it's too late for that... needed to be done 20 years ago. Only the devil's arithmetic can save humanity from impending doom. Political consent on such policy is given implicitly; lack of sufficient action in all other solutions, leaves only two doors: reduction... or extinction.

[@sfisabbt]

I don't believe climate change, energy crisis, mass extinction, crop failure, economic failure can make human life disappear. These can drastically lower the wold population, including in western developed countries and make the survivors change completely their way of life. We can eat far less, some places in the world will remain fertile, some people will remain. These can't extinct humanity directly. ... but we can. We have all the weapons we need for that. What will happen when the most populated areas of the world become uninhabitable while every country is progressively choosing defiance and nationalism? For the moment, with obviously no intention anywhere to face the problem at its scale, it seems like a gamble : either a downfall toward some dystopian post-apocaliptic life or to oblivion.

[@johnyepthomi892]

Humanity is distracted or don't care about it. It's just astonishing the views are so less. But for them , to get such videos recommend to them by the algorithm will only happen if they make that choice or have that need to learn or question. They're still too busy with their own thing and hopefully will watch it someday. It comes from within and from your peers. So , I guess that says a lot.
