StarTalk Podcast: X-ray Astrophysics with Neil deGrasse Tyson

[@mindsight1]

Neil and Chuck have amazing chemistry. It makes me excited to watch any podcast about science with them hosting.

[@ogopogoman4682]

Many comedians have come and gone but Chuck is definitely the best to merge into the show.

[@MacKenzieShirk]

@@ogopogoman4682 I find him incredibly annoying to listen to, hes loud and cuts in all the time

[@rebekahweber2413]

I think that neil finds it refreshing to hear some of the ways Chuck relates the tried and true science to Hollywood. But yeah, sometimes he is frustrated how either the educational system, or Chuck himself, has impeded his scientific growth. Sometimes you just have to take a break from complicated life to reset and return to refreshed to explore further. Sometimes a fresh look at something can be profitable and invaluable.

[@iamhawkeye3162]

@@MacKenzieShirk I think the lady in the video agrees. She looks annoyed already and I’m only 11 minutes in

[@sergiuq2good4u]

I am a musician and I am so far of the subject, but honestly, I enjoy every single second of this show. I feel an urge to start and learn physics right away

[@downhillphilm.6682]

I am a musician also, studied classical harmony as a music major. There is so much physics around the harmonic overtone series that we depend upon for our brand of music, i.e., Western European harmony (diatonic tones). Eastern Asian harmony (micro tones) is way different. Our "ear" is conditioned to standard orchestral "tuning" (e.g. the 440 A) and most of our "pop" music is steeped in diatonic piano based harmony. Yes there are hybrid scales used in some pop music but very rare and found mostly in American blues; the bent third and seventh of the scale producing a micro tone "blues" note effect on guitar and other instruments including voice.

[@sacalius_papalagius]

hey guys next year I am finishing school and I plan going in a music university and gradually specify in composition, but I also love physics and honestly I do not know what I will choose

[@Underwhelmed]

@@sacalius_papalagius choose the one you love the most. I don’t know how hard music compared to physics is but physics will always be hard. If you’re afraid from that, loving it will make that easier. If you love physics (and decided what branch of physics you’ll major in), then I’d say go with physics.

[@CaptPhiI]

​@@sacalius_papalagius I'm graduating Grad school soon as a Masters in music composition student, and I'm actually currently thinking about how I can relate my knowledge of harmonics (and overtones, etc.) as humans understand music to this greater understanding of wave patterns in the universe. In my experience there is overlap with everything. Regardless of what you choose, I think there will always be the option to incorporate the other (i.e. Majoring in physics and incorporating it into music by creating a new instrument or something OR Majoring in music composition and incorporating the physics of harmonics into your music [like I'm interested in]).

[@michaelkrenciprock6145]

Cannot give enough kudos to Neil. Still waiting for his announcement of running for President

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

It would ruin him, being surrounded by that many liars, cheats, confidence men (and women), and self-important inflated egos. Let the man's laurels stay where they are: with us, the people of science and nature.

[@Sinnbad21]

EmpyreanLightASMR I agree. All the bad things about a person become highlighted ten fold when running for office it seems. There was talk that Oprah was gonna run for president. A lot of people were excited. But if she did that she end up being hated by one or the other political parties and it would just get messy

Hello Star Talk... When is Cosmos finally going to air?!?

[@luniacllama8373]

Sanme query! Is it out?

[@theduder2617]

Fox and Nat-Geo absolutely refuse to acknowledge that question in any way what so ever. You won't even get a response. The ONLY comment they have made was in February. "Fox and National Geographic are committed to finding an air date for ‘Cosmos. There will be no further comment." And there hasn't been. Probably won't be either. There is a chance no matter how small, that episodes are being recorded at this moment. Unlikely, but possible. Since even Neil himself refuses to even mention the show anymore, it a safe assumption that is could have been stopped all together. It is now time to relentlessly ask Seth about an air date. After all, he is in a position to know EXACTLY what's going on. I say that because it is clear Neil either will not, or can not speak about it in any way what so ever. He used to speak about the show a LOT. Until the lies that is. Below is simply my opinion based on the recent events which involved blatant lies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probably lost faith in humanity due to all of the mindless who could not wait to jump into the canoe of hate based on NO factual data what so ever. Everyone simply sided with the lies merely because "a female said it". Their mindset was "why would a woman lie about that?" FREE MONEY is exactly why. It angered me, so I assume he was not happy about it either. Shoot, the mouth breathers are still bringing up those lies as if they were ever true to begin with. I'm just happy he still does StarTalk. I wouldn't have blamed him for cutting ties with the public since most of public can be rather intentionally uneducated.

[@jeffs6090]

@@theduder2617 - I can agree with all that. I will try to ask Seth through whatever means I can find, his Twitter etc, or look to see if he's mentioned it anywhere. All the episodes were done and ready for air this past spring. I'm assuming at this point it would air this fall or maybe this coming spring.

About the VR thing, Universe Sandbox ² has been around for a while now. It's something that's been on my wishlist since I got my VR, I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Also a space sim like Elite: Dangerous does somewhat of good job when it comes to scale in certain aspects, especially when you play it in VR. When you come up on a star or go for a planetary landing, you really get a sense of how big things are.

[@hareecionelson5875]

4 genius Chuck moments 1. The speed of light is the pre-programmed limit of our simulated universe to stop people travelling to a place faster than it can be graphically rendered around them. 2. The Earth is just a massive generational space-ship, whose inhabitants get no choice about being born on it, which is ethically equivalent to signing up your future descendants to a generational space journey. 3. "We think, therefore you (the universe) are" : humans exist and think, which allows the universe to be aware of its existence. Without humans, the universe does not have consciousness (as far as we know) 4. Insectoid aliens are smart enough to build the human equivalent of a bug zapper.

I wonder what the science community could discover if they weren't constantly dealing with budget concerns? Not to mention That they are also being forced to compete with the different branches of science to secure the small amount of funding that is out there.

[@ilikaplayhopscotch]

Rezkel please express this to any and all relevant political leaders in your life.

[@Q_QQ_Q]

Its a necessity because university science , tech develop those sciences , tech which are usually theoretical or in early stages which cant be predict where will they go if they are not controlled or restricted . They will go any direction mindlessly with no concern . utter waste of money . Restrictions keep them working on best solutions .

[@rezkel7404]

I disagree, just a bit, because a lot of science knowledge today was derived from accidents or from scientist discovering one thing while studying another. though i will admit that restrictions and budgets can force a scientist to focus, then again it can also force a scientist to put out incomplete or even wrong data that if they had the time they could have discovered on their own.

[@Q_QQ_Q]

@@Rezkel studying one science , discovering other is obvious not bogus because they are all related . its all mathematics , studying of physical sciences is physics , sciences of living things is biology etc . checks and budgets keep fudging of data away .

[@rezkel7404]

@@Q_QQ_Q To me checks and budgets give scientist far more incentive to fudge the data, sense now their livelihood and money for their research is tied to what their results are and how fast they can get them.
