I cannot express how much my son and I love, admire and respect this man. A jack of all personalities (athlete, intellectual, even comedian), yet he chooses to enlighten and educate us, the feeble minded.
One of the great attributes of Dr. Tyson is his quick wit and analytical mind. He often debates people who are anti-science and puts them in their place, showing them their flawed line of thinking.
@Beard Cheese - I see that. He can be so full of enthusiasm and the need to share knowledge that he dominates a discussion, which makes him seem full of himself. I don't think his ego is as subdued as Simon implied, plus his natural extroversion, can definitely make him annoying to some.
Funny story. I met Tyson at a meet and greet after one of his shows. I stood in the long line thinking what am I going to say to him. Well, I thought about a video I seen on RUclips of one of his Q&As that he did at a lecture hall. He explained Isaac Newton's Orbit Cannon photo. It blew my mind and put the bug in me to learn more. Like a fool, because I only had about 5 seconds, I decided to share that with him. How he inspired me to learn. I walked up to him, shook his hand and smiled for a photo. I turned and blurted out something about I saw your video on RUclips, blah blah, Isaac Newton blah blah. Complete gibberish. He stared at me as if I was speaking Cantonese. Then i thought to myself (you fool, there are so many videos of him on RUclips. He has no idea what you're talking about.) So I said, I'm a big fan, it's nice to meet you. He said eeehh, nice to meet you too. 😂😂☹️ Love the channel by the way! At least i walked away with a photo.
Neil deGrasse Tyson … Is arguably the greatest living teacher alive today. I never get tired to listening to this mans podcasts and RUclips clips.... Pure magic!
Me too! I've learned so much from him!! His science lectures are up there with other scientists who have taught us elementary sciences that actually made sense and answered our questions. Bill Nye, the other guy and Neil are the greatest scientists in the world!!!!!
I love Neil de Grasse Tyson, I’m not academic material myself, but I truly appreciate his contribution to the scientific community and especially the fields of astrophysics and cosmology.
A legend in our own lifetime, true gentleman, and fitting successor to the great Carl Sagan... Responsible for so many's interest in astronomy and physics alike. A true inspiration
You should check out the Robin Williams bio in which they called his wife "Marcia Grimes" instead of Marcia Garces, and showed us the Wikipedia picture of Marcia Gay Harden (who was his Flubber co-star, not his wife). A giant mix-up that one was.
Dr. Tyson makes science easily accessible and understood, not a normally easy thing to do. I wish I'd had science teachers like him when I was in school.
I happened to be teaching a science unit about our solar system when Pluto was declared no longer a planet. As this was a Preschool (3’s) program, it was a great opportunity to teach that the more we learn, sometimes we need to change our thinking. It was an interesting challenge to take the former planet of Pluto out of our displays, teaching, artwork,etc. I believe that it was a wonderful lesson that learning can evolve and we need to keep checking the facts. Neil Tyson is an amazing person! 💫
I dunno...I like the music for the Arnold Swartzenegger bio. Whatevs; do you. Just please don't lose the "thumbs up" animation at the end of the video.
This was a really good one! I'm sharing it far and wide. I'd love to see more scientists' bios: Sagan, Feynman, and even the more personally unpleasant ones like Hubble. Great minds don't always have great personalities, and some are simply misunderstood. Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm really enjoying this channel so far!
I just found out Tictock videos in China are geared towards educational subjects math n science. In America their algorithm pushes anti education, silliness n conspiracy theories. Think about that.
H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawkins, Richard Dawkins & Christopher Hitchens and I'll swear my eternal loyalty to you! Thanks for running a couple of great channels, well needed in our day and age.
The world doesn't coming short of numbers of scientists that are finding, debunking, searching, cracking, solving, etc... but poor on sending the message, excite, and attract the general public to like it. And there is one person no other than Neil deGrase Tyson with his rockstar persona to make science sounds cool in general public and we need a lot like him.
Talk about an American icon and extremely positive role model, that man is what every kid who has even an inkling of an interest in the stars should strive to emulate....
Tyson is amazing, and I love the way he explains science, space and the universe in both Cosmos and the audio version of Astrophysics For People In A Hurry. The one thing about him that contradicts this usual calm persona is how he gets in debates. I've watched a few RUclips vids of him in debates on shows and other venues and he can really pushy, hardly letting the other person get a word in edgewise. Still very smart and charismatic.
Literally no one has commented about the director of titanic, “David” Cameron. I didn’t think it was possible but my faith in humanity has been lowered even further.
@Biographics Simon, I absolutely love this new show!! Fantastic and concise biographies that manage to capture the essence of the subject of each show! Bravissimo Simon, bravissimo‼️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Do one on Galileo. I read a biography on him when I was in the 5th grade. I have been in love with astronomy ever since. Galileo is a perfect example of persecution of new ideas, something that seems to be happening today, and how powerful ignorance can be.
This was a great video. One of the coolest people, who admittedly, I’ve only recently discovered. The guy is a genius, funny as hell and so well spoken too. 👌🏻
Good stuff enjoy all of your channels.... suggestions for future videos: Galileo, Aristotle, and even some early criminals like Bonnie & Clyde, John Dillenger & pretty boy Floyd.
Would love to see one on Ronnie James Dio, one of the most influential people to the rock and metal genre and its culture. Even after his death to cancer people still raise their hands in his honor at every rock and metal concert around the world \m/
I absolutely love Tyson! I watched every single episode of Cosmos and for a brief time considered returning to school to study science! LoL! Instead I try to incorporate the universe into my art work. Even if you can’t tell by looking at it! 😉😁
I got to meet and hang out with Neil when he was on the board for the Space Foundation. He is a great guy to hang out with and it's amazing when he has a telescope to point out stars!
I really love this new channel! Seeing the in-depth of people both past and present is so fascinating to me. Would it be possible to do a series on women who pushed the boundaries in their eras? Like Susan B. Anthony or Eleanor Roosevelt?
I loved this one and also recently saw a doc on Bill Nye. I would love to see one on Carl Sagan now since he influenced both of these men and talk about him in their own stories.
I always look forward to a new video of Biographics, Top Tenz and Today I Found Out. I just recently watched the Patton video you did. And I was thinking that there is another Military Officer who has almost a cult like following. Being a former U.S. Marine I could only be talking about Lieutenant General Chesty Puller United States Marine. I don’t think not many people outside the Marine Corps knows about this man and what he has done for his country but also what he means for Marines like myself. I feel this would be a great addition to this channel and maybe also a good Top Tenz video on his top ten quotes.
These videos are great! I started with Musashi and ended up on Neil deGrasse Tyson, what a whirlwind! I'm definitely a subscriber and can't wait for new vids!

I LOVE Star Talk, Mr Tyson is so entertaining. He did a really interesting interview with Jay Leno and learning about horses in the 1880s, before cars, and all the problems NYC had that was pretty eye opening. Thanks Simon for this bio, loved it

Neil Degrasse Tyson, probably the most intelligent man currently on the planet.! In my opinion, he rivals Hawkings and Einstein. I would like to meet him one day, shake his hand, and just say thank you for all that you’ve given us.
Neil deGrasse is a man that the americans can be proud of. On many levels. “Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act.” ― Albert Einstein And...now I am expecting Pluto to grow a tail.
This was the first vid i watched from this channel. I hit subscribe only 2 mins in!! Great work, very informative! I know so far you have done very well known people, But the person i would love to see next is Ben Folds (the musician and most awesome piano player, of Ben Folds Five Fame) Just someone who personally has also inspired me with his music, and life.
Fountain pens are cool, Tyson has taste for good things. It remembers me of my father (now retired teacher) writing with Pelikan fountain pen, correcting student's work. These days really had magic of it's own.
I wish we lived far longer. So much I wan't to learn and discover. I feel i was born to early. I really would love to see what life is like in the far future.
This guy is hella cool. This may sound strange, but he's one of the few scientists who can make me feel uneducated, but not feel stupid about it.
Uneducated and stupid is not the same thing.
hahaha Oh man. What a statement!!
@@Jarod-vg9wq exactly his point
@Collin Caperton stupid people usually feel condescended to when dealing with true intelligence.

Dr. Tyson has a fantastic smile.

Biographics I think I was star struck lol
You can tell people this a photo of you and your Dad. There is resemblance.
Star struck. Nice.
Biographics yes. Many people said that on my Facebook post of this photo. I did a side by side photo of Neil and my dad. Practically twins.
I love when people get to do something they wanted to do since childhood and be good at it

Coolest nerd we've got!
My son and I travelled to Brisbane last year to meet Dr Tyson at one of his talks. I’m loving this biography.
A legend in our own lifetime, true gentleman, and fitting successor to the great Carl Sagan... Responsible for so many's interest in astronomy and physics alike.
A true inspiration
DO CARL SAGEN NEXT
Yes please do!!
Ditto
It's now been done.
For Titanic, you called the director David Cameron, when it's James Cameron.
Other than that - great video.
We know. We are sorry.
Jan Egeland james Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does so you can forget the name of James Cameron

I would love to see Penn and Teller.
Those are two seperate people.
Go to Las Vegas and see them then.
@@coena9377 Biographics made a video about Evita and Juan Perón, Sirhan Sirhan and Robert Kennedy, not out of the ordinary
Especially there’s 80’s work !
This channel keeps knocking it out of the park! Excellent coverage of Mr. Tyson
Tyson did not so much remove Pluto from the display as COMPLETELY change how the planets were displayed.
One of my favorite people on the planet! Thank you, Simon ❤️
Dr. Tyson makes science easily accessible and understood, not a normally easy thing to do. I wish I'd had science teachers like him when I was in school.
Really wonderful video. I've lived in "The Bronx" all my life and he has been a great source of pride to me, and others. Thank you.

Who knows, we may not use it again too.
I dunno...I like the music for the Arnold Swartzenegger bio. Whatevs; do you. Just please don't lose the "thumbs up" animation at the end of the video.
I don't know of any video games with Dr Tyson, so that is one media format that is still untouched by him.
Thank you, Simon... Well done!!!
Neil deGrasse Tyson for president in 2020 ! PLEASE ?!
hotdrippyglass that would ruin the man. He be smart and no take it.
RUclips’s algorithm sent me here. I just started watching his MasterClass. Good job, Simon.
This was a really good one! I'm sharing it far and wide. I'd love to see more scientists' bios: Sagan, Feynman, and even the more personally unpleasant ones like Hubble. Great minds don't always have great personalities, and some are simply misunderstood. Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm really enjoying this channel so far!

I am glad they did a biographic on Neil DeGrasse, hope they make one for Carl Sagan.
Thank you for this Simon. This served as an unexpected inspiring jolt to my day.
Zapp!
Man that last quote, he couldn't have said it better.
Hey I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channels Simon! Biographics keeps teaching me new things- keeps me sharp for trivia night!☺
I was pretty stoked to see a snap from Neil's interview on Hot Ones in there. Another awesome show with a great, well researched host.
The world doesn't coming short of numbers of scientists that are finding, debunking, searching, cracking, solving, etc... but poor on sending the message, excite, and attract the general public to like it.
And there is one person no other than Neil deGrase Tyson with his rockstar persona to make science sounds cool in general public and we need a lot like him.
Up to now I don't watch Biographics of people still alive, but for my favorite scientist I make an exception
Excellent! Great subject matter!
Talk about an American icon and extremely positive role model, that man is what every kid who has even an inkling of an interest in the stars should strive to emulate....
Watching Simon everyday is exactly why I used to watch The History Channel in the 90's, I actually learn real things.
Do Nelson Mandela please.

Literally no one has commented about the director of titanic, “David” Cameron. I didn’t think it was possible but my faith in humanity has been lowered even further.
I have to say this channel is fast becoming one of my favourites!
Glad you feel that is something you have to say. ;-)
Love this so much! Just recently watched a bunch of videos and interviews of Neil, he is such a wonderful man. Thank you thank you. :)
I would have loved to have Dr. Tyson as one of my professors. Great communicator!!
I love NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON❤❤❤ and hope to meet and tell him how much he inspired me during my childhood to pursue science
Tyson is an inspiration and makes me want to learn more about everything everyday.😊
@Biographics Simon, I absolutely love this new show!! Fantastic and concise biographies that manage to capture the essence of the subject of each show! Bravissimo Simon, bravissimo‼️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

I just saw that. What a life! Highly recommend.
Great video Simon... Science can bring us all together. Thanks Neil So Much...Carl Sagan RIP x
This was a great video. One of the coolest people, who admittedly, I’ve only recently discovered. The guy is a genius, funny as hell and so well spoken too. 👌🏻
I have wanted to know more about Neil deGrasse Tyson how amazing it is to such a light in these times.
I wanna meet him just to ask him this, *ahem* "Is math related to science?"
Yes obviously
Math is the language of science
Wow. I bet he'd love that question. It's a hard one, but he might just be able to come up with an answer. :P
You are emitting Katy Perry, that's rude
I love that he tweets at 3:14 a.m. Those of you who are math nerds will appreciate the significance of this time.
I generally despise math, but I love dessert....
Thank you, this was great!
Good stuff enjoy all of your channels.... suggestions for future videos: Galileo, Aristotle, and even some early criminals like Bonnie & Clyde, John Dillenger & pretty boy Floyd.
Ok, did anybody else notice Simon call James Cameron “David?”
Pluto would've gotten away being labelled as a planet if it weren't for that meddling scientist Neil deGrasse! *shakes fists*
Keep on with these great videos. I'm learning more about people I was familiar and unfamiliar with.
Would love to see one on Ronnie James Dio, one of the most influential people to the rock and metal genre and its culture. Even after his death to cancer people still raise their hands in his honor at every rock and metal concert around the world \m/
Souchirouu I agree on RJD. My avatar says it all...
Jordan Belfort (The wolf of Wall street) would be awesome!

Short but super informative. Great video to watch! 👏
