The episodes with Lord Nice are my absolute favorites! Star Talk is an amazing and educational show. Thank you both for being such an inspiration to the entire world and probably to a few people zooming around it at 17,500 MPH!
Chuck is invaluable to these episodes. About the time my brain gets in a knot from trying to understand difficult concepts, Lord Nice makes me laugh and relax so I can continue learning. Love you both!

For me, it's all the poetic ways Neil talks about science, the subtle manner in which he transcends or connects the binary(of science/art). There is a lot to learn from you. Hats off.
I absolutely adore what you do Mr. Neil! In my mind, you rank as the Bob Ross of science. You are in living rooms entertaining us with science! School is never out and you are the best bus driver. Also, Chuck is no slouch. I’d like to know more of his thoughts on white holes. I think he might be onto something 🤣🤣🤣The dynamic you share together is invaluable. Thank you so much! I love you guys!
I'm definitely one of those people who miss school. I was happy with summer breaks but I was sad school was gonna end. I loved learning. I didn't have many friends but was friendly with everyone. We all knew each other. 300 or 400 people we grew up together. Clicks existed but it wasn't very strict.
Almost 10 years off hard drugs my only regret in life is not taking my education seriously. Closed a lot of doors i wish i hadn't. Keep all my struggles, pain, and suffering, just wish i could redo all of school ❤
I loved being in school! High school introduced me to the worlds of calculus, abstract algebra, and so many other worlds of mathematics and physics! That's why I'm here at this channel. Lifelong learning!!! Thanks Neil and Chuck! BTW: Get Hannah Fry back for a math show. She's my favorite mathematician!
I appreciate the frank conversation about life/consciousness and touching upon how its temporary nature is what gives it so much value. I feel like it's always hard to speak candidly about this kind of stuff (and especially so publicly and with the reach this show has) because religious and cultural norms can create such a negative backlash to anything that undermines people's beliefs. So in short, I just really appreciate how matter of fact you are about it. It really *is* simple, and it feels like so many problems in society could have been avoided if our cultures weren't so socially acceptive (and in many cases welcoming) of belief without justification.
I’m not religious in the least bit I do think there HAS to be something after death we just have no way of proving it. We can’t see what happens when someone is dead from the person who died’s perspective. And that state of where there’s nothing we don’t know how long that happens. Like Neil said we don’t have a conscious awareness before we exist so who’s to say something doesn’t happen to where one day we suddenly become aware but in another person’s body. I feel out of all things the most likely scenario is rebirth. I see no possible way where we die and then there’s nothing at all. There has to be something else.
@@edbass2769 These experiences are happening when there is still electrical-activity in the brain, and demostrate what happens when different areas of the brain begin to shut-down...It's easily reproduced by g-force testing or psychoactive-drugs. The experience tells us about how the brain fuctions, but nothing about an _afterlife_
@@DarkestVoid There really doesn't "have to be something else" , it's just chemicals and biology at work. Do you think trees go to a better place? What about bacteria? what about things that are so close to just being simple chemistry we don't even call it "life", like viruses? Make the most of it, the time after you die will be _exactly_ like it was before you were born ...
senang sekali menonton dan mendengar kalian berdua, semoga selalu sehat dan panjang umur. terus berbagi pengetahuan pak Neil deGrasse Tyson dan pak Chuck Nice
I love learning while being able to move around. It was hard for me to sit still in chairs at school. It is a wonder of the 21st century that I have access to Dr. Tyson exploring these topics! Chuck offers just the right mix of curiosity and humor to bring out the fascinating points of your subjects. Great team you two, ty!
you sit still in school because that's the only way you can truly and accurately retain information. your brain can't cement your learning into long term memory if you're busying it with other tasks. watching these videos while going about your day may be fuel for curiosity, but it's a far cry from learning and retaining information.
to prove my point, can you summarize what this video taught you about time dilation? WITHOUT going and watching it again? no, you can't. because you didn't learn it, you just used it as bubblegum for your curiosity. nothing wrong with it.
@Samantha Loughborough Ummmm, Howard Gardner's work in this area is over forty years old. You may have trouble learning while doing other tasks, but don't assume this is true for everyone.
@@firebird2 regardless of your preferential methods for learning, if I read you a list and ask you to recite it, you're going to repeat it more accurate if you focus solely on my words, rather than if you were folding laundry or some other rudimentary task. and that's only an example of your working(short term) memory, not your long term memory retention. your brain has a limit to how many electrical impulses can be sent effectively.
@Samantha Loughborough I don't know what your background in neurology or education is, clearly it is limited. You are focused on memorization. Learning is so much more.
From the beginning of this video, talking about some people appreciating being in school, because their only job is being a student, that was precisely my experience when I went back to college in my mid 30s. It was such a liberating feeling to be in school. Every day of class was a thrill, and that never waned over the length of my 3 years of study. What a privilege and a joy it was to have learning be my job.
la primer parte del episodio fue muy importante para mi, mi padre, hoy cumple 20 años de muerto, pero sus dos últimos años los pasó postrado en una cama luego de un derrame y muchos subsecuentes derrames lo fueron reduciendo, fue duro ver como su vida y lo qué él había sido toda su vida se iba desvaneciendo hasta que su cuerpo se dió por vencido. escuchar estas palabras de Neil me removieron un poco pero también me hicieron recordar con cariño el hombre que mi padre fue. un fuerte saludo desde Colombia.
Big fan of the show, a quick critial feedback... The questions or the genre of questions seems to repeat almost all episode. Maybe we can pick different sets of questions. Also, guys I've a suggestion- please start explaining equations so that along with understanding the concepts we can also see the application. For e.g. F= gm1m2/r1r2 | Here if Niel can help us understand how was the equation derived and why arranged this way mathematically and conceptually. Might encourage me at least to not just understand but apply.
Teach Chuck...school is NEVER OUT. Neil was on point for us aspiring people who keep nurturing that level of curiosity...its like eating or breathing...I MUST LEARN!!!
I love learning... once I stop learning I'll be pushing daisies. I also enjoy teaching what I know. From computers, fixing cars, carpentry and riding motorcycles. Now I'm a farmer. Making trebuchet to entertain me and the dogs. Because trebuchet!!!
Neil I just found out about your star talk. I love it it's informative it's funny. please you guys don't die yet. Chuck is like a buddy everybody wants to have. more power!
Thank you Neil for decoding other peoples questions and telling them what they actually meant to ask and explaining it. You really need to be thanked properly by people.
Science is the GREATNESS of human kinds experiencing a understanding of living, with a theory, they can create with there hands and achieve anything..Love The Show 👏👏👏
"Your speaking like a person who has confidence. I like to get the money up front." 😂😆🤣😂😂😆🤣 I'm dying over here! I love the combination of you two. It works perfectly! How did the two of you come together for Star Talk?
As someone with a typically non Anglicized Name myself I appreciated when Niel insisted that Chuck make an effort to read the users last name at 38:10 Thank you🙏
in regard to the GPS's time, I think Neil meant their time ticks faster not slower as he mentioned, because time flows slower in the vicinity of the earth than out in at higher altitudes by about four part in a billion.
My personal astrophysicist, barr none. I follow three main astronomy related channels: you, Dr. Becky, and Perimeter Institute lectures. I often feel as if someone threw me in the deep end, you 3 are my life guards. As Mr. Spock was fond of saying: "fascinating."
Thanks for the laughs along with serious topics. I'm 78 y.o. and still taking notes while I listen to you two. You are the greatest duo on RUclips! ♥️🧓 Energetic Granny (in Central California)
Going to this from that Sean Carroll episode is like getting pulled out of your late semester engineering course and thrown back into the 5th grade lol
That fact that they film it with Neil's head so prevalent in the shot, makes it feel like he's bending over your pushchair to impart his knowledge... Condescending at best
I was lucky enough to have good teachers when I was in school who made classes fun and now that I’m older I still enjoy learning new things. I know people who hated school so much that they refuse to take in any type of media if it’s educational.
I'm one of those 2 people. Tha ks for the shout out Lord Nice! I agree with Neil. Assume there are 0ast lives, assume I WAS Leonardo DaVinci, I can't make his discoveries today, only had 1 chance at that. MAKE THIS LIFE COUNT! Crocodiles are dinosaurs too
I just watched your episode about time when an alternate answer was given about your life span which said the moment in time where you are alive will always exist.
About us being a simulation. I believe he was thinking we are living in a simulation, not in a quantum simulations that our reality is just one of the many infinite options being run. The rules would not dictate specific results, but run all possibilities. We would have infinite versions and our version awareness is stuck in our has worked out this far. We got Dr. Tyson in this reality. Thats good.
I am troubled by Neil's explanation of mirror flipping. The reason that (flat) mirrors 'flip' us horizontally and not vertically is that they don't flip us at all, or rather, they flip us in the plane of the mirror. In physical space, in order to turn something front to back, we must either rotate it vertically, flipping it top to bottom AND front to back, or rotate it horizontally, flipping it left to right and front to back. Since we don't ordinarily see people flipped top to bottom and since we can very quickly confirm the vertical orientation of the self in the mirror, we intuitively expect the left-to-right flip, and it is the absence of that flip that we notice. Am I misunderstanding this? Or have I misunderstood the explanation given here?
Neil is either high af or extremely tired. Nick is on point and ready to work. Either way, Neil's wisdome and knowledge is still fascinating and a pleasure to listen to
Hi Dr. Tyson, thanks for the lecture, always fun to learn about everything. Ps: i miss Dr. Charles Liu, i believe it would be amazing so see him on this episode
I hope you'll explain the quantum entanglement experiment which won the noble prize in physics this year. I watched so many videos read so many articles but found it hard to understand.😅 You are my only hope. 😬
This is wonderful which proves the survey would be an extemporaneous endeavor. See I can sound knowledgeable without being smart enough to even understand what you are explaining sometimes. The explanation is good, but I often realize how difficult much of it is
Neil said something that reminded me of a quote from a book called Brother West: Living And Loving Out Loud." Don't remember the name of the gentleman who said it but it was, "life after death is no more problematical than life before life" and I think that's a really beautiful outlook.
I have learnt a lot from this Edition and only look forward to learn more. However, I have my reservations on the question of whether we live in or on earth. First, I think we should appreciate that the word "earth" simply means "ground." For me, it is safe to say that we live on Earth because the primary meaning of earth was the ground we live in. This word, however, changed in the scienific world to mean the whole mass of land, sea, and all that encompass the planet (Considering all other planets were being named from Greek gods except earth). So going back to its use in language, I still think it's imperative to say that we live ON earth.
I thought about that before. The "did you exist before you were born" question. As a Christian, it's not something I like to consider, but if I ignore evidence, then how strong can my faith be in the first place? That really is a tough one.
Dear professor Tyson. Could you please do the world a big favor? Design the curriculum and lessons for grade 1 through 12. It would go along way to increase interest in science and making it easier to understand. I mean between books! I'm not crazy lol. Thanks for everything
Hello, My wonderful child who is seven is listening to your show with me and would like to know what you feel would take place if 2 tornados met one another ...what would happen? I shared that I think they would merge and that I would ask you guys for him since we are already tuned in🙂 He also would love to know if the form underwater. We love your shows.
In regards to what happens after death, If we don't understand the fundamental nature of consciousness yet, how can we conclude that there is and was no existence before life and after death? Is it not possible that a state of consciousness could possibly continue on with no attachment to our physiology, ie consciousness without self awareness or memory?
Absolutely love you guys! Chuck, you're an incredible foil to Neil's information. Something else about Saturns rings. They weren't always there, and therefore they are temporary. Cosmologists believe they will disappear in about 500m years. I'm looking forward to watching it!
I truly wish I can experience The sound of silence one time. Unfortunately if I go in the world's quietest room it'll probably be a nightmare due to my tinnitus
Hmm, a correction. There were microbes during the Carboniferous era. But it was also during this era that woody and bark-bearing trees evolved. It took microorganisms and fungi some time to develop the enzymes needed to digest lignin, the main component of wood. However, a more likely reason for the large coal deposits were the rapidly dropping sea levels, which led to the spread of huge swamps. Even to this day, swamps show conditions that prevent rapid decompositon.
What's your favorite subject to learn?
Dark matter and Dark Energy
Everything! My tastes are so eclectic the YT algorithm has no idea what to feed me next!
Evolutionary biology. It is fun to scratch our heads about the origins of strange and complex structures, and wild phenomena like bioluminescence
Geology I say
@@rickkwitkoski1976 best answer ive heard
Chuck said something very important early in the video. He said we are learning all our lives whether we want to or not. He added that some people learn the easy way (by educating themselves and reducing their own ignorance), some people learn the hard way. So true.
Chuck-a-baby aka Lord Chuck is deep
Balancing the Equation, unlearning is life-long too.
Nice comment bro

Noone learns anything from doing it right. You either win or learn as we say in racing.

I dont get it
How we live IN EARTH instead of on earth
That explanation made no sense to me
Albeit. I'm NOT calling ANY MAN LORD!
And Chuck is quite smart. He understands what Niell is saying well enough to restate things so the unwashed masses can understand them.
Whatever works for you, great. For me, Chuck is just annoying with his constant interruptions and juvenile attempts at humor.
Neil & Chuck should never stop doing this.
Great pair.

Neil and/or Chuck should do a cameo in Star Wars as Imperial scientists or force sensitives. That would be cool!
23:55 was so sweet lol “not giving you that” ❤️ I love this channel
Wish Neil was my teacher in schools.
I’m enjoying my final “read-through” by reading and listening to worthwhile things like this.
Physics seems to be giving me a new outlook on life. I've never found anything more fascinating. I'm finally not bored!!
You are a gift to humanity
Love how excited and genuine Cleo is about this
Going to this from that Sean Carroll episode is like getting pulled out of your late semester engineering course and thrown back into the 5th grade lol
That fact that they film it with Neil's head so prevalent in the shot, makes it feel like he's bending over your pushchair to impart his knowledge... Condescending at best
I was lucky enough to have good teachers when I was in school who made classes fun and now that I’m older I still enjoy learning new things. I know people who hated school so much that they refuse to take in any type of media if it’s educational.
Neil and Chuck for 2024
I'm one of those 2 people. Tha ks for the shout out Lord Nice!
I agree with Neil. Assume there are 0ast lives, assume I WAS Leonardo DaVinci, I can't make his discoveries today, only had 1 chance at that. MAKE THIS LIFE COUNT!
Crocodiles are dinosaurs too
Waiting eagerly for Neil's new booked named Starry Messenger.
We need more episodes ! 😍
I just watched your episode about time when an alternate answer was given about your life span which said the moment in time where you are alive will always exist.
About us being a simulation. I believe he was thinking we are living in a simulation, not in a quantum simulations that our reality is just one of the many infinite options being run. The rules would not dictate specific results, but run all possibilities. We would have infinite versions and our version awareness is stuck in our has worked out this far. We got Dr. Tyson in this reality. Thats good.
Yes, I want more of this please! 🤓
Gday mate!!.. Pete from the 🍎🏝
I am troubled by Neil's explanation of mirror flipping. The reason that (flat) mirrors 'flip' us horizontally and not vertically is that they don't flip us at all, or rather, they flip us in the plane of the mirror. In physical space, in order to turn something front to back, we must either rotate it vertically, flipping it top to bottom AND front to back, or rotate it horizontally, flipping it left to right and front to back. Since we don't ordinarily see people flipped top to bottom and since we can very quickly confirm the vertical orientation of the self in the mirror, we intuitively expect the left-to-right flip, and it is the absence of that flip that we notice. Am I misunderstanding this? Or have I misunderstood the explanation given here?
No i was wondering the same thing, ive always learned it switched front and back. Not left and right
Sure wish I had a teacher like Neil. Maybe I woulda gotten better grades.
Neil is either high af or extremely tired. Nick is on point and ready to work. Either way, Neil's wisdome and knowledge is still fascinating and a pleasure to listen to
Hi Dr. Tyson, thanks for the lecture, always fun to learn about everything.
Ps: i miss Dr. Charles Liu, i believe it would be amazing so see him on this episode
Greetings Dr. Tyson from your mother’s land, puerto rico. I admire you and I learn a lot from you. Thanks.
I love you guys!
I've known the "twin paradox" as the "moving clock paradox" since I was about 15. It perplexed me then, and it still perplexes me now.
This is science for the non geeks who know now as much as geeks😂❤️
I hope you'll explain the quantum entanglement experiment which won the noble prize in physics this year. I watched so many videos read so many articles but found it hard to understand.😅 You are my only hope. 😬
My old boyfriend used to say we were in the university of life.
My DREAM Debate would be Neil DeGrass Tyson VS Billy Carson. On SEVERAL TOPICS
There we go, Florida disproves the simulation hypothesis. No computer could ever come up with what goes on in Florida.
You R correct!
This is wonderful which proves the survey would be an extemporaneous endeavor. See I can sound knowledgeable without being smart enough to even understand what you are explaining sometimes. The explanation is good, but I often realize how difficult much of it is
What if all of human irrationality is just floating-point error in the ultimately-finite simulation computer?
Neil said something that reminded me of a quote from a book called Brother West: Living And Loving Out Loud." Don't remember the name of the gentleman who said it but it was, "life after death is no more problematical than life before life" and I think that's a really beautiful outlook.
I have learnt a lot from this Edition and only look forward to learn more. However, I have my reservations on the question of whether we live in or on earth.
First, I think we should appreciate that the word "earth" simply means "ground." For me, it is safe to say that we live on Earth because the primary meaning of earth was the ground we live in. This word, however, changed in the scienific world to mean the whole mass of land, sea, and all that encompass the planet (Considering all other planets were being named from Greek gods except earth). So going back to its use in language, I still think it's imperative to say that we live ON earth.
Chuck is so lucky. What a great job that’s gotta be. 🍀
Wow this whole video answered all my questions in my head thanks Neil😍😍
I thought about that before. The "did you exist before you were born" question. As a Christian, it's not something I like to consider, but if I ignore evidence, then how strong can my faith be in the first place? That really is a tough one.
I’m so happy I’m alive in the same lifetime as Neil and Chuck
Dear professor Tyson. Could you please do the world a big favor? Design the curriculum and lessons for grade 1 through 12. It would go along way to increase interest in science and making it easier to understand. I mean between books! I'm not crazy lol. Thanks for everything
Hello, My wonderful child who is seven is listening to your show with me and would like to know what you feel would take place if 2 tornados met one another ...what would happen? I shared that I think they would merge and that I would ask you guys for him since we are already tuned in🙂 He also would love to know if the form underwater. We love your shows.
EARLY for a change. Love it, another great episode. Is it just me, or is it SO easy to forget the basics unless you work with it all the time. Ugh.
Amazing to hear you speak. I hope you can get some rest because you look tired
17:14 what if the space ripples with a frequency between 20-20k Hz?
In regards to what happens after death, If we don't understand the fundamental nature of consciousness yet, how can we conclude that there is and was no existence before life and after death? Is it not possible that a state of consciousness could possibly continue on with no attachment to our physiology, ie consciousness without self awareness or memory?
Absolutely love you guys! Chuck, you're an incredible foil to Neil's information.
Something else about Saturns rings. They weren't always there, and therefore they are temporary. Cosmologists believe they will disappear in about 500m years. I'm looking forward to watching it!
I truly wish I can experience The sound of silence one time. Unfortunately if I go in the world's quietest room it'll probably be a nightmare due to my tinnitus
LOVE the title! LOVE the title as an idea.
Fits in snugly with compulsory education.
Great content, where interesting meets funny, what a duo
As so many pairs are well known in history. Neil and Chuck you'll be known in history too, because your both so dynamic.
Just found your show. It’s great 👍
Awesome ❤❤❤
Hmm, a correction. There were microbes during the Carboniferous era. But it was also during this era that woody and bark-bearing trees evolved. It took microorganisms and fungi some time to develop the enzymes needed to digest lignin, the main component of wood. However, a more likely reason for the large coal deposits were the rapidly dropping sea levels, which led to the spread of huge swamps. Even to this day, swamps show conditions that prevent rapid decompositon.
