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
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.
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

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."
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.

@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

A nerd and a geek, my two favorite people. An astrophysicist and a comedian, love them both. Never boring and educational. Walking footnote... and they are so silly.
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.
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.
@@jayyy1041 What’s the James Webb telescope? What makes it different from others what does it do? First time hearing about it. This stuff is fascinating though so I’m hoping to get more into it
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."
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
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.
@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.
James liar? Lol. I have trouble believing the comments here praising this drop the mic disgrace Tyson. He is and never been a scientist. Even Wikipedia tells us this. He was a dancer , now he is an actor. He is I. My mind a pos liar . People, this guys number one job is promoting space nonsense
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 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.
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.
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.
Mine does that and because I get self-conscious, so I don’t think about anything 🥲 and now I have bunch of mental health problems 😭 (but’s fine I’m working on it )
@@Aster.2006 lol relatable. thinking a lot drove me into questioning too many things which has made me depressed, now i'm working on being more fulfilled
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
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.
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.
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.

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,
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.
"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"
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.
@@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.
We Catholics also have an academy dedicated to scientific advancements. It’s called the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and they gather together to advance science. Stephen Hawking was one of the members until his death.

Stephen really knows his audience, if my two favourite guests of his (Jon Stewart doesn't count, because he's also a producer on the show), are also the most frequent. If the whole show would only consist of his monologues and talking to Neil, Jon and John, I'd be perfectly happy.

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)
Stephen: Happy New Year Neil: it might be In our interpretation In relativity of space but In the vast and ever expending universe...... Stephen: *mind explode*
@@ManjotSingh-sf2ri In a sense. The light that reached your eyes from the sun is actually millions of years old due to various scattering events in its interior.
No person will ever know everything. No human being lives forever. We all die. Death is only defined by the existence of life. So do what you can, while you can, finding happiness wherever you can and have faith that it'll all work out. :)
But other galaxies aren't accelerating away from us so fast that the next generation won't be able to see them.... it will be millions of years (and humanity will be long extinct) before the milky way is the only galaxy detectable from Earth. I don't know why he voiced this thought.
"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?!!!
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.
I honestly spiral over similar thoughts. Lost knowledge, especially about existence in general really gets to me. It's the source of much of my existential dread.
Top Five moments: 1. Neil touching Stephen's hand - 3:40 2. 10 DAYS!!!! - 4:02 3. "Team Roman Catholic" - 5:07 4. Stephen takes glasses off - 8:18 5. Stephen puts glasses on - 8:37 Bonus: Ooooohhhh - 8:01
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.

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 just love Neil's passion for this stuff
Cousin Ant You mad because u weren't smart enough to graduate highschool?
Zachary Alexander it's amazing. He can invoke a sense of passion in those around him as well.
Cousin Ant Go bad to school you dumb son of a bitch.
I love it too! It makes me passionate for science, more so than usual. Neil is a science hype man, gets me excited for more discoveries.
Shut the fuck up you hick, no one cares about you.
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.

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!
"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?
beatz04 Also, what if you're between the time zones, why foes it jump by the hour instead of slowly increasing?
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 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.

Woah, stop with the conspiracy cocktail there man, its damage your brain.
@Victor Gibson have you ever seen an alien dude?
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.

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.

Picture Neil Degrasse Tyson late at night sitting on the edge of his bed in his underwear contemplating the course of the universe.
"With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof." Quran 51/57
Literally HIS BEST GUEST
Use sunblock.
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 (:
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!

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.
We don't know what we don't know!
....and i who thought we know what we don't know........pffft i'm so stupid at times
There are known unknowns and there are unknown unknowns !

We don't know what we don't know - Neil DeGrasse Tyson, 2018.

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.
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

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.

@@Justthinkalittle 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.

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.

Nandakumar K Dude, I just woke up at 4am CST thinking about this!
But other galaxies aren't accelerating away from us so fast that the next generation won't be able to see them.... it will be millions of years (and humanity will be long extinct) before the milky way is the only galaxy detectable from Earth. I don't know why he voiced this thought.
"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?!!!
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.
I honestly spiral over similar thoughts. Lost knowledge, especially about existence in general really gets to me. It's the source of much of my existential dread.
