youre not alone buddy
Brooks Gasser lmao I enjoyed the comment
LMFAO! Thanks for the laugh!
Ryan....How can anyone get so upset about an idle, harmless, KZhead comment? Jeez you sound like a miserable guy...You're gonna talk about other people's parents when your own very angry, petty comment and apparently negative nature must make YOU the subject of any parent's disappointment Thanks for your brief expression of rage, it said a lot more about you than the harmless comment said about it's author.
@Ryan Gallagher Breathe brother, life goes on
That tie is *out of this world.*
No, our world is inside of that tie.
🤣
Underrated comment
We are that necktie
You're a dad aren't ya Tom? LOL 😂
I like how when he’s explaining physics he gets excited and starts talking fast and then he has to slow himself down to make it sound more dramatic
He loves physics with an ultimate passion
You should watch the joe rogan podcast with him he has to calm himself down multiple times cause he was shouting at joe 😂
He got that dramatic flair from Sagan. You outta check out some of his videos on here.
The delivery of the fact is just as important as the fact itself when talking about education
@@mpatzikas5138 So true
As a physicist (not an astrophysicist tho), that thing keeping Neil awake at night is indeed something that I could see physicists lose sleep over
“We don’t know what we don’t know” sums up my math knowledge
Math isn’t about knowledge. It’s logic and understanding.
@@youtubecomments5951 well mine and dvendys logic and understanding of math is quite insignificant.
Blades Santa there are a few types of people when you go to school. The one that doesn’t know the answer and always pretends to know and never ask questions. Those people usually are never good at math. Cause they think knowing is smart and don’t want to be labels dumb so in reality they become dumb. People that are smart never know it all and always ask questions till they understand something. Those people are smart cause they go looking for the right answers and aren’t afraid to look dumb by asking a question.
@@youtubecomments5951 You my good fellow, have earned my respect,. Well written!
Mathias Söderlund thanks. My thoughts came out nicely this time. Usually it’s not easily understandable
If all my teachers would have explained the subject material like niel degrasse explains almost everything I wouldve graduated high school in elementary school
Neil*
*would've
You're all good buddy, correction squad out!!
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
That's right, but you see, high school is just baby sitting...so, if you're Mom don't teach you nothing, then all you get is high school.
“Here we are touching an elephant not knowing the elephant is standing there” Idk if it’s just me but this thought is horrifying 😂

I kind of love how when Steven says "we won" Neil continues to say "you won..."
I feel smarter after understanding nothing

Ahahahahahahaha
“We don’t know what we don’t know” Seems pretty accurate tbh
No, sometimes you know what you don't know. For example some details in history. What he says is that there could have been a lot of different that could have led to a variety of totality different questions

What is bigger than the universe. Nothing because the universe o
@Enjeru “if you step out of our universe looking in, you’re in another dimension” I heard Neil deGrasse say this in a video, but he explained even more. But it’s not possible to go outside our universe looking in
That's what happens if you put a washing machine inside a car, and then turn the washing machine on which has a shirt in it. And the car velocity is more greater than the washing machine torsion
Or is it?
He da real life professor klump
I feel like Neil was that nerdy kid that was so smart everyone thought he was cool as shit. Always went to him for answers, he was the one to question the teacher, when you looked at him you just knew he was getting somewhere.
makes science from better to best
@Nag Dasty what hasn't he done. Guys a fucking genius
@Nag Dasty so what's actually funny is now based on this comment, your last was meant for insulting him. Not sure how you were raised but it's a little odd you say something negative about him but yet now "hes a very bright dude". I don't think anyone here said he was on the level of Einstein or numerous amount of the people you named. So really it seems tou want to make it known you think hes a lower lever of genius? I'm not sure what you're really getting at. I'm glad you take interest and pay attention to this subject, but in all honesty who are you to judge anyone when it's clear your views are one sided. Have a good day
@@johnnytoppside Idk what this other guy was saying, but he's definitely a lesser genius in various aspects. He is more of a science promoter than anything due to his enthusiasm. Unless you are in these fields I doubt you know how deep physics really is, and there are many levels. In any case, the average bachelor's in physics has an IQ around 135 (at an average school). PhDs are in the 140s on average, so yeah he was probably the smart kid in his classes.
No one did this ever.. a nerd I'd a nerd.. there are no cool nerds
I love how tickled Neil gets by the simplest of jokes
Sometimes I think he laughs at the "dumb" or silly things we say lol
Or he just possess a good sense of humor.
Me too
breana hayes he has a great sense of humor.
We won was hilarious because of how he said it lol
I love how his thoughts are almost too fast for his ability to communicate them effectively. So amazing.
Same thing with Elon Musk. Always interesting to see indeed.

This is a near perfect interview. They have great chemistry
Yeah, love them together.
I could talk to Neil for 10 hours straight and not get bored. How fun that would be to grow up with him.
He might get bored talking to me😊
exhausting. famous people's families are all like "whatever."
Albert Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough", which shows that Neil has keen knowledge and understanding - amazing.

@@elmerspudds5546 Meaning that because Neil deGrasse Tyson can explain the core of an idea so easily, he must understand it quite well.

This astrophysicist just confessed that for all our knowledge of science, we can never keep up with the past nor the future, cause our perception of time is so limited and defined.

Devika Kaul And he has acknowledged the scientific contributions that have come from the Catholic Church. We even have our own scientific academy. Stephen Hawking was a permanent member until his passing.
Mysteries are events science hasn't explained yet. Their hands are being set free to continue their quests for answers.

Neil Tyson is fun to watch. He so animated and excited. Always love listening to him.
Neil deGrasse Tyson has got to be one of the best guests to ever invite on a show. He is so affable and intelligent. Love their rapport.
Neil Degrasse Tyson is one woke "scientist".
“We don’t know what we don’t know” seems obvious but has a deep and scary context to it.
Sin Cosine a sizeable chunk of the population are so terrified of that concept, that they lie to themselves everyday.
you are such a fucking moronic waste of conspiracy loving oxygen
Why do you guys have to ruin everything with fucking politics and religion dude.
It would have been appropriate for Stephen to harken back to his Daily Show days when Donald Rumsfeld said (about the Iraq invasion), I paraphrase - "there are known unknowns, but there are also unknown unknowns."

I love the way he explained the vastness of the universe, that we may have lost a big part of the universe we could study and explore cause it's beyond our horizon and that the next generations will have less and less universe the discover. I am amazed really, so scary but amazing. And his excitement explaining it is so awesome.
Cool stuff.
I wouldn't be too discouraged. The next generation is gonna have the James Webb telescope.
This knocks me off my lawn as well. What if we just witnessing in the universe could have been leftover of previous marvel universe. What if this is a continuous chain where every generation feels the leftover of the preceding marvel universe.

If people were at least half as passionate about a cause as Neil deGrasse Tyson is about astrophysics, the world would be a better place
It's actually astronomy
But I do agree
True. Fuck politics
Storm Sliders 360 if more people were trying to split atoms and create the newest biggest bomb that doesn't make the world a better place. We no bombs, no pollution, no hate, no starvation etc. I feel like the government isn't the bad guy at all. More like trying to save us from our own extinction while knowing the end is near and sacrificing what they think is best to allow humans to continue to be a thing.
What is zealotry?
It' crazy how Neil has an answer for everything and the answers are so complete, witty and educational. Man is a GOD.
That's because everybody keeps asking him the same questions over and over again.
And he one TV show which tell him question they going to ask if he was different situation it will he able answer question

Gotta be honest.... its not that exciting to me. The more i discover about it the more i realize all those sci fi movies are bs and the universe is just wayy more boring.
@@thatguy2244 what’s so boring about the universe?
@@hjs7626 He's just that guy, a simple human being that presumes to think he knows everything. Silly.
@@thatguy2244 uhh this is satire right?
@@franksinatra9579 no. The universe is mostly cold and dead. Empty space really. Worm holes and stuff exist only in theory simply because the energy required to create it is unfathomable. Two black holes collided and bent space 3mm. Black holes are not worm holes theyre just a lot of mass, infinitely compressed and if you went in one youd just die lol. 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. Similar to the theory time travel will never exist. One, time itself doesnt really exist but even if it did, where are the time travelors? Thats it in a nutshell really.
9 minutes passed and it felt like 2... the power of Neil's storytelling
Einstein would agree with you.
the power of Neil's bullshit.
I want to hear him sing some 70's disco tunes .
Amazing. Watching him for 3 hours on a few Joe Rogan podcasts - flies by, almost upsetting
Jesus i almost don't believe it
Neil Degrassi Tyson. He is like the Public Relations guy for astrophysicists. He knows how to explain this stuff to the rest of us “simple” folk. Carl Sagan was like that.

i was wondering how far down the comments i'd have to scroll before i got to a con disparaging a man of science. it seems to be their stock-in-trade: anyone who isn't a young-earth creationist is either "not really that bright" or an agent of the Devil....
It says a lot about a talk show when their most frequent guest is a scientist. Kudos!
Stephen: Wow, Neil, you’ve been on my show a lot. Neil: Yes, the universe.
Ok nobody is gonna talk about his tie??
I loved his galaxy tie!
U should see some of his other ties
My sense of fashion has been utterly and completely warped by him and i think it was for the better
I the first thing i glanced at when he comes by
Neil has the most pimp ties on every appearance
I literally got up, went outside and looked up and said “holy fawk”
lmmaaaoooo
I started punching the air while laying down on my bed when Neil was all “is there some chapter there but not there anymore”
Deep
Why did I laugh so hard at this lol
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.
What if the blackness/void of space is just a black hole everything is riding on the surface of?
@@nicholashepburn9381 yeah it could be, but the surface is three dimensional and not flat like ground.
Agree! I love learning science but I just don't like the math in it.
It would mean we’re just getting started (:
Neil Degrasse is one of the very few ppl in the world i could listen to for hours and not get tired of listening

Actually Donald Rumsfeld said basically the same thing back in 2002" "[T]here are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns-the ones we don't know we don't know."

Smart and funny is a combination many people lack. Imagine having a conversation with a group of people like this. Orgasmic
“We don’t know what we don’t know”… I think that is now my favourite quote
That quote predates Neil by a very long time. It's prominently featured in Nicholas Taleb's 'The Black Swan' and was a common saying of Donald Rumsfield. He referred to it as "unknown unknowns," elaborating upon that saying "there are things we do not know we don't know." It's a fascinating subject.
Einstein said it best: "Not only is the universe stranger than we can imagine; it is stranger than what we Cannot imagine"
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.
Dawkins actually said there is probably no God. He never said he couldn't be wrong.
AHHAHAAHA
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.
What's the reference?
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.
TheSquirrelyGhost, it's an Indian parable as 7ristan describes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant
poem by rumi in ancient india
it's only been a couple thousand years, you can't expect shit to move that fast in our own galaxy when we move just as fast.
I could spend years with Neil and I would still be hungry for his knowledge!
The idea that the universe evolved from something that we cannot see beyond our own horizon is awesome. What came before the universe? Was there ever a beginning to anything? How many universes are there? The vastness of the cosmos is terrifying.
And exciting!
"The world is not celebrating the same moment." Yesss interesting...
Yes, because we as humans have agreed on having calendars and have taken time zones into account, so what's the big deal ? A "year", "month", "minutes", "seconds" are all terms that are man-made. So hence to what we call a "year", it is ending or starting differently depending on which time zone (also man made) you're in.
beatz04 the point Neil was trying to make is that New Years is when the earth completes it's orbit around the sun, so technically everyone should celebrate when the planet reaches that point, it's silly we rely on the time of day
yeah you tried to be intelligent in your reply anddddd it was all for nothing😭😭
INF1NI73 I've wondered that since I was 10 or something?

I was thinking exactly same what he said, in-fact I can feel and think all his talks I have listened so far(not much) and those talks makes very much sense. And I got so much relived and kind of proud that I can grasp all those ideas and philosophy related to science easily by own. He is one of the few persons who can think all conclusions and possibilities philosophically very accurate(don't getting the word) about science or any other topic also. And almost all ideas and talks of him makes lot of sense and are very right. (Btw this my first comment on any social media platform)
Welcome aboard. You picked a good topic and spoke well about it, especially for your first comment.
Tyson is the perfect ambassador for science and scientists. He has done so much to demystify and destigmatize a subject everyday people once believed belong to “geniuses” only.

this has been explained before. there's "known knowns"; things we know we know. "known unknowns"; things we know we don't know. 'unknown unknowns"; things we don't know we don't know. and "unknown known"; things we don't know we know. But Mr Tyson reduced and simplified very well here. short and sweet.
thats not a very profound statement if you think it is
Word. Too many people spew shit on things they know nothing about.
swat22camden if you have a simple mindset it’s not all that amazing. But if it’s your job to question the fundamental nature of the universe everyday. Something like that does keep you up.
This man is an absolute gem!
Dear Neil deGrasse Tyson, Thank you for so much for giving me another space related existential crisis. First, it was the future of the universe I was worried about. NOW, I am worried that the answers to our questions have been taken away from us by Dark energy.
*Hits blunt* My mind is now ready for this
UnPhayzable No, you’re just dumbing your mind down with drugs.
cool
I put some distillate on top of my bowls. No more blunts for me 😁
Big Birb It's far from a useles drug, fool.
UnPhayzable Has i
Always a joy listening to Neil.
corega111 how he is stupid I hate Neil
khairowensullivan can u prove the earth is a ball id like to hear it
sende senf what proof is that this is nothing
I love when Neil is going on and on as usual and then suddenly slows down and puts on his documentary narration voice.
I like how towards the end Stephen acted like he understood what Neil was saying
What makes you think he didn’t?
7:31 "what"? Absolutely love this.
no, the POPE part was better
i swear i had a laugh panic attack after hearing that and i was in the freaking library!
I see Neil, I click.
Casey T what a simple man
Casey T but the universe isn't expanding
@Deuel Ellan Yes it is. Why do you deny science?
Simboo show me the proof, there's no proof. Our way of measuring that it is expanding is flawed. We are using triangulation on such a large scale that we are getting false readings
There is no proof? There are thousands and thousands of studies that prove that the universe is expending and with all the data collected, by using simple maths, the scientists have demonstrated without a doubt that this expension is accelerating. Just do a google search, you will find all the information you need easily.
I wasn’t ready for this conversation. It blows my mind!
Neil, that is an interesting thought. Another one is: What happens to the collective of photons that are furthest away in the boundaries in the galaxy? Do they lose energy and eventually cease to exists? Do they just stop?
Love Neil DeGrasse Tyson, this is what a truly intelligent person sounds like. He is able to explain a very complex subject matter at a level that can be understood by the masses. Not once did he say "I'm like a smart person."
BRENDA VIGEANT I hate neil degrasse tyson
KING FERF Nobody gives a fuck
I can confirm that no fucks have been given
"I'm like a really smart person and a very stable genius"
LIKE REALLY SMART OK. Check IQ meter, yup over 9000!
A society that has no sight of galaxies other than our own, will soon come to believe that those galaxies are only myths from the dark ages of earths history.
Oh shit... That may mean (bear with me here) that a lot or at least some of the mythology from the past isn't mythology and it's something that was there and we just have no reason to believe it's there. Like they'll look at our writings and stuff about galaxies and be like "wtf that's bullshit" and that might be what we're doing today,
Chuck Anderson doesn’t that just blow your mind...
joke's on you, the galaxies will be around much longer than Earth will! The sun will turn Earth into a charred rock long before the universe expands enough for other galaxies to disappear from sight.
@Truth trying to start some shit are we? lol
That'll be in like 100m years. Hopefully we'll figure things out by then lol
DUDE I SWEAR I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING TODAY ABOUT THE NEW YEAR HAPPENING EVERY HOUR! These kind of things always happen to me.
When he started getting fired up about the Gregorian calendar had me laughing so hard. “10 DAYS!!!!” “POPE!!!!!”
4:15 saliva or a piece of foodflew out of Neil's mouth 4:16 Colbert noticed it 4:21 you can spot it on the table 5:26 Colbert discretely wipes it away with the paper
NGT gets giddy and excited when talking about science.
lmao
You should apply for a job in Video Forensic Department...
Seriously, you should be the guy that watches new movies and identifies errors.
You should be the guy who writes about the last day of humans on earth
Now, that's a stable genius.
Peter Griffin I'm dead..... Haaaa
Peter Griffin congrats on this reference, serious.
jbberinger Agree.
Genius, sure. Stable, debatable.
Didn't see anything stable or genius about this guy.
LOVE BOTH THESE DUDES SO MUCH:) LAT MIN OF THIS ... BADABING !!! :):):)
Just realized he sounds like a smarter Seth Rogan. He’s an inspiration though for sure loved his books.
Aliens to Earthlings: "We come to interview Neil."
Ben M Earthlings: hell no he’s ours, get your own.
Neil is like the cool uncle that you shoot b-ball with while chatting about universe-edge and quantum physics.
At the edge of the universe is God's firmament dome, which Neil knows nothing about because he is a pseudoscientist who just makes things up and he is completely ignorant of the Bible and everything about the universe --- all of which vehemently contradicts the Satanic lies that Neil pushes.
True Christian lop your people wrote the bible before they knew what the sun even was or where it went at night XD
True Christian bahahaha oh man that's funny
What an odd president to choose
Joshua Hammond you're not serious, right? lol
He once said. Not knowing the answers to the mysteries of the universe is bad enough. But not knowing what questions to ask is worse. ..thats a very profound thing to say if you think about it A very astute and clever man
His passion is contagious
That overexcited “POPE!” At 4:06 killed me
Literally HIS BEST GUEST
Use sunblock.
I watched this coming down off weed and it’s honestly the best enlightening thing I’ve watched. Absolutely love it ❤️❤️❤️
"We dont know what we dont know" Thats so easy and deep at the same time.
"We don't know what we don't know". That's the essence of thinking and therefore of scientific and philosophical curiosity. Some poet, whose name i can't recall right now, wrote something more or less like this: "If we had conscience of everything we are ignorant of, we would be omniscient"
Pedro Cacela; It's why I loved his comment!
