Ahhhh the quintessential Neil Degrasse Tyson comment. I knew I'd find the resentment. It's on every comment section. Not "I want to go back to school because of Tyson". Rather "I would have done better in school because of Tyson" Appreciate the teachers you had, and find someone that inspires you to move forward, rather than resent the past. I suggest Elon Musk

CJV842 That’s actually the flaw for someone like Dawkins. He speaks with a certainty, a kind of, this is 100% true as if there is no chance he could be wrong. The we don’t know what stuff we don’t know is a profound philosophical statement. We didn’t know about weather systems until we “discovered” them. It means that someone like Dawkins can say there is no god, but the truth is that no one can say with 100% certainty that there is or there isn’t So he can’t label you as deluded if you say there is because he can’t prove his point. Proper, honest scientists like Tyson will admit there is stuff we don’t know, and that we don’t realise we don’t know it. Others are just playing at science.

[@FlashRyu]

That's one of the greatest things i've ever heard Neil Degrasse Tyson say. I love thinking about the universe and theories on how it works. I've also thought there are many things we can't see beyond the observable universe, picturing something like Dr. Strange's multiple dimensions as an extreme example. We're so small, it's unlikely that everything we see, i.e galaxies, is all there is in the universe. I pictured it this way, it's very simple: asteroids revolve around planets, planets around stars, stars around black holes that form galaxies, and then what. What comes next... what are galaxies revolving around? There's a good chance every galaxy we see, the observable universe, is all but a small sliver of a bigger galaxy ring that revolves something... many many times more massive than black holes. And whatever that thing is must be what is the providing the majority of force, "gravity", that is missing from the equation of dark matter and energy. And I suspect it keeps going and going, more round things revolving around bigger round things. It might also make sense that we cannot see these massive objects, because they act much like black holes upon light. It's somewhat scary to think about, that everything in our observable universe is only but what our star is to the milk way. But I think it's very likely. When Neil says that astrophysicist don't know the source of gravity, that 80% of it is unaccounted for.. That's interesting to hear, because I was skeptical of celestial body cores being the only source of gravity too. The true universe is an infinite piece puzzle, and we're only 3 pieces in starting somewhere in the middle.

Man, worrying about astronomical bodies becoming so distant they are practically isolated in all of space and here I'm just glad I got the elephant reference.

[@TheSquirrelyGhost]

What's the reference?

[@pixarboy02]

TheSquirrelyGhost If I remember it from English I think it’s an analogy for describing things you don’t know with things you do. I think there’s a story where three blind men find an elephant, and one touches its leg and thinks it’s a tree trunk, and the other touches it’s tail and thinks it’s a broom or something, and they all try to describe what the elephant is only using their past knowledge of what it feels like. Apparently in the story the men begin to fight over which person is right, and I guess the moral of the story is to understand that you may only have partial information, and to accept that others may be able to broaden your own partial knowledge with their partial knowledge.

And probably the proof of all this is that aliens have never visited us. So even if we somehow miraculously found alien life. Theres just no way to get there in a timely/efficient way. Im sure there are aliens out there that have existed long before us, are way smarter, way technologically advanced and guess what... they havnt made the trip. Or even found us.

[@batintheattic7293]

"No person will ever know everything." Ah, but Josh, this is what collective knowledge is for! We have to hope that our library burning days are over and then we can enjoy a kind of 'hive mind'. If the human race can survive our current tribulations - we are on the verge of an exponential explosion of comprehension. Just as the known universe is speeding up in it's expansion - so is our ability to find ways to understand the nature of existence. Which brings me to my criticism of what Neil deGrasse Tyson says is troubling him. When he says, "..beyond our horizon" is he talking about our observable range? If he is - then that's not set in stone. We've got ways of 'observing' things more distant than we would have ever thought possible fifty years ago. All we need to do is have our science keep pace with the rate of expansion. Josh, I agree that we will never know everything (singly or collectively). That's the nature of infinity. Yet, we will always have the opportunity to know 'more'. Isn't being a sophisticated life form, on a Goldilocks zone planet, wonderful?!!!

[@XIII_Vanitas]

timbits187 That wasn't his point. He's saying that, just like eventually no other galaxy will be observable from Earth, maybe there was a point in time where an observer on Earth was able to gather more information about the universe that we can now. He's losing sleep over the fact that we'll never be able to know for sure whether there is any information that's forever lost to us.
