Everytime I stop to listen to this man, I come out the otherside just that much smarter. Sometimes in order to learn something you just have to stop and listen. If he has something to say about the universe, then I'm willing to listen because I know I'm about to learn something I didn't know before. 6 David Cha David Cha 1 year ago Thank you for your enthusiastic display of sharing with the world that when communication is in tuned with the mind and the heart.

I love this guy. 63 Peter Le Peter Le 1 year ago So, are we permanently limited to seeing a certain amount of dimensions (like the ant) or are we capable of evolving to see/experience more of these different dimension? If so, would the privilege of seeing more dimension be a learned trait or is it innate (a trait/ability that you're born with)? 1 andy grey andy grey 1 year ago I would have loved, 'I feel now', given almost anything up to have had his thought process, his patience and open sence be a running theme in all of my teacher growing up! Can you imagine the capacity your children would possess being around teachers with close to his general knowledge. I only mean his passion and ability to explain what to 'my tiny porous brain' can begin to understand and want to hear and learn more. He is a fantastic communicator! 1 Ryan Winkler Ryan Winkler 1 month ago I love this hosts interaction with Neil. The audience is amazing, makes it feel like some spectacular astronomical theory talk show.

What i like from him is the clearness in which he explains things. 79 Luis M. Rodriguez Luis M. Rodriguez 6 months ago How understandable is this complex matter when explained by Professor DeGrasse Tyson. Thank you so much for these lessons. 6 Adam Williams Adam Williams 1 year ago Neil,I might gently infer you description of a line as one dimensional, having a beginning and an end (point)was supportive of your argument and wonder if a line being bordered by 2 points would have the same dynamic inference if you didn't limit it by using a start point and end point. I wonder,is a line still one dimensional if you don't interrupt its progression using points?Adam. 4 llirbwerdnadivad llirbwerdnadivad 6 months ago So glad to finally know why a difference of one quark allows protons to have a charge while neutrons don't! :D 8 jeff tripp jeff tripp 1 year ago He is such an ego maniac, but in a good way!

Stating the obvious to be sure. He is a walking endorsement for scientific education and the value of learning biology, chemistry, physics and math particularly. But also the history. Amazing wealth of knowledge with directed purpose. Brian Gill Brian Gill 14 hours ago Concerning the red spot of Jupiter part (warming: I’m learning so please be patient if this is a dumb question): If Jupiter is 10x the size of earth and rotates once in 10 hours would it be 20x the rotational speed (or rather 28x) and not 2x the rotational speed? This is an honest question, apologies again if it’s obvious but it seems like if it’s that much larger it would be spinning much faster than 2x the speed. HannaHannabelle HannaHannabelle 4 years ago I'm speechless. this guy is simply mind-blowing. enough said. 66 tonyfanfarone tonyfanfarone 9 months ago Neil is an enthusiastic and sincere educator.

CharlesM1957 CharlesM1957 3 months ago When I was a child growing up in the 50s I saw a cartoon where a lab-coat scientist invented the "portable hole". I have been immersed in that concept ever since . Yes I know it was a cartoon with fictitious providence but it was basically the concept which interested me. I have always been curious about the existence of things that were difficult to explain despite their nature to exist in reality. I have witnessed in my life several instances for which I have no viable explanation and that has motivated me to seek science for the truth. Some things I fear we may never gain a foothold on but that will never stop us from trying as long as we are driven by curiosity . Anthony Wright Anthony Wright 1 year ago When he spoke of going to a coffee shop in Boston, I imagined myself walking on a sidewalk in Boston, noticing him, and wondering how I would react. Would I quietly glance, smile, and nod in polite recognition and move on? Would I stop him and tell him where I am from and ask him for a picture together? Would I offer to buy him a coffee for a conversation? Then I imagine how he may feel. Would he prefer not be accosted by a fan? Would he welcome the stranger? To what level does he enjoy celebrity. He is, quite frankly, the only celebrity I would care to meet. 15 V V 8 months ago Wow! I agree with the being flung out of atmosphere. I think you have to be yanked into timelines to properly not take anything from it or disrupt it.. heck.. even physically being able to go to that place.. nothing else but you can come.. boomstra boomstra 3 years ago By the way I love Neil Tyson, he can explain difficult theories in a simple way. Robert Krulwich is a nobody who fell upwards to the position he is in. 13 bendoi namsao bendoi namsao 1 year ago If I had him as a science teacher all throughout school, I would like to think I would've pursued science and made it my career. He truly captivates people and simplifies things to a level many more can understand. the G-girl the G-girl 9 months ago "I am gonna be all up in that!" the scientific curiosity in a line 23 vaishali agrawal vaishali agrawal 9 months ago Just the moment when Neil De-Grasse Tyson said, "And then I tweeted!", is in itself a revelation lol 12 Richard Kan Richard Kan 1 year ago The greater our expanse of knowledge the greater the perimeter of the unknown. So beautifully put 11 LittleSheDevl LittleSheDevl 10 months ago I feel like I’ve been lost for 4 years and have now just discovered this guy. He’s amazing!!

It is a pleasure to listen him. Jesse Lee Jesse Lee 4 months ago I love the dynamic between these two.

He just expressed an idea I've been trying to express for a while now, very succinctly! And physicists know about it already, cool. I guess. 5 J B J B 1 year ago 29:24 the thought of levitation brings to mind of the 2 magnets that you try to push together perfectly on top of each other. 1 Luisa Santos Luisa Santos 1 year ago O Neil é fantástico, o apresentador é um palerma que não merece um convidado deste calibre Billy Lucius Billy Lucius 8 months ago I love his stylish explanation of "Near Death" 2 fn station fn station 1 year ago Everyones that's watched/read flatland imagines square and sphere when he talks about the shapes.

A gift to us. 1 Mujic Lub Mujic Lub 11 months ago That was a half a minute applause.. 😯 EPIC 3 Mairis Bērziņš Mairis Bērziņš 1 year ago Neil is like on a whole different level than us lower mortals. Spending his nights wondering about the secrets of the cosmos to him is like it is wondering about whether it's more efficient to buy 2 medium pizzas vs 1 large pizza for us. 4 Vicente Fernández Vicente Fernández 5 months ago (edited) I've seen comments about Krulwich being annoying and such, but I actually like his style of hosting, especially with people like Neil. The sassy challenge he's got really gets Neil going and keeps the conversation fun, interesting and fricking amazing. Plus I once heard a theoretical physicist say "there's nothing I love more than talking about my work with someone who's trying to find everything I'm doing wrong". 12 Make Money Online Make Money Online 3 years ago (edited) What really grabbed me was the statement about how if all of the universe's matter met with it's anti-matter counterpart, and they met and annihilated, there would be only light remaining. This is homogenous with the experiments in which scientists created matter (and therefore anti-matter) with photons! Insane. Anyone else find this utterly fascinating? 7 BLAZIE BBL BLAZIE BBL 1 year ago I love how simple and basic this guy is, especially at the Jesus part 1 Peter Nagy Peter Nagy 1 year ago For those who neglected learning much about science, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a great instructor on nearly anything, meteorology, geology, you name it. 4 ZenRyoku ZenRyoku 5 months ago GAWDAMN!!!!! that is the best explanation I've experienced to weight the "anti" counterpart to the summing up of quarks to produce the anti equivalent... 💯👍 2 Ahmad Naqib Zaini Ahmad Naqib Zaini 1 year ago Genius, humble and funny😍 1 Badri narayan Badri narayan 8 months ago What a session it has been!

He's so interesting and charismatic. I've been done with school for 7 years now and he makes me want to continue learning. 23 Conhan D. Conhan D. 2 years ago Apparently a lot of folks out there in the comments know so much about the art of interviewing a scientist. Why don’t we see you guys doing it then? Invite Dr Tyson, film the interview and post it to YouTube so we can all learn! 10 Speck Of dust Speck Of dust 1 year ago He definitely makes you think 🤔 👍👏🏻👏🏻 3 Deborah Holt Deborah Holt 1 year ago (edited) There's so much out there in the universe and we've only just begun to grasp how it came together, its purpose and its meaning.
