- On this week’s episode of StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Paul Mecurio ( / paulmecurio ) sit down to answer a grab bag full of Cosmic Queries that span the cosmic spectrum. We start at the beginning - the Big Bang. Is “Big Bang” a misnomer for what actually happened? Neil and Paul try and figure out if there’s a better name. You’ll learn how the origins of the name “Big Bang” were birthed from the Steady-state model hypothesis. Discover more about the differences between a law, a hypothesis, and a theory.
We ponder a thought experiment that explores the boundary conditions of the Earth and the Universe. We ask: if you travel close to the edge of the universe, will you see the other side? Find out the immense reach that astrophysical terminology has in popular marketing and everyday products. We discuss Star Trek and what things from the show could be true in real life.
You’ll hear why space tourism requires fundamentally new technology in order to make it accessible for everyday people. Neil tells us about his lottery idea that can send people into space for one dollar per person. You also find out the real costs for sending things into orbit. And, Nell explains why it’s almost certain that there will be fatalities when pushing a frontier forward, like the early days of the airplane industry.
Dive into the delicious mysteries of dark matter: Is it a placeholder for our incomplete understanding of gravity? Does it work differently on galactic scales? Can we eventually use it to help us travel through space? Learn more about the science of something exploding in space. Get details on the tricky business of catching neutrinos. Lastly, you’ll discover why it’s hard to pinpoint the center of the universe. All that, plus, you’ll explore the obstacles in trying to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
This episode originally aired as a podcast on August 23, 2019.

What gets you curious about the universe?
Everything.
does Cosmic Microwave Background have a mass? could it be counted as dark gravity.
What gets my curious about the universe is, whether the producers of StarTalk are out of whack about running a podcast in a format that people could appreciate it to the fullest, or just dumb?
Thank you.( PS : English is not my first language. I hope my question was clear).
The sheer size of the universe
what is solar wind? how does it effect other things in the universe?
Here's a question for you: Why does a 50 minute episode of Cosmic Curiosities feel like 10 minutes from another TH-cam Podcast? Does time really fly when you are having fun?
yes your perception of time is entirely up to you, the only thing you cant change is the universal clock
Time is relative :p
when ur focused, nothing else matters.
pun intended
- specially the rate of decay around, we observed as time
Time does not exist. Try to define TIME
I see what you did there.
I love that quote. The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. I don't think I've ever heard or read a better statement on any subject, ever.
So true. Many things that mean so much to us mean nothing in the context of the universe. In the context of the universe, we are just vibrating electrons inside a remote atom.
@@josephbishara4791 you could say that about anything you know

Neil's tombstone is going to read, "By the way..."
"Wait, wait, wait!!"
...keep looking up"
“We got this”. “Are you ready?”
"Sooo"
"No. Next question!"
Neil could be telling me that I’m dying and it would sound good.
You are dying. How quickly is the only question.
Think of all the amazing new experiences! Think of all the many things that will happen to you that never have happened to anyone alive.
I was literally just telling someone that I could listen to him talk about dog shit for an hour and be content lol
He'd say something like, "death, the final frontier into the universe. Wherein the forest and fauna you've been feasting on your entire life, finally get their turn at you."
Listen to Logic’s album where he says that exact thing to Logic
He's so smart that at times when explaining something, he can get stopped up on microsubjects from his own vast knowledge and I appreciate thoser little nooks and crannies of information.
¡Incredible, Señor!
There ya go,,,,Micro subjects !!,,,Wayyyyy to Many!!!!
To me, this was one of the best shows ever. Great focus on the information I crave, balanced out with just the right amount of intelligent humor. Thanks to both of you!
When Chuck can't be there, I love when Paul Mecurio fills in👍🏾👍🏾..
I love your start talks I love to listen to this before I sleep and am I the only 11 year old
i love Neil and Star Talk!!!! I can spend my entire existence watching, back to back. not healthy lol.
I have to say, I LOVE how much fun NDT always has with these, no matter who he's on with (and this Mecurio guy is great, btw). Neil's infectious joy always lifts my mood, and I always learn a lot of fascinating new things.
Mr. Tyson, if you're reading, thank you for enriching my life, and always uplifting my mood! (My family thanks you for that last bit, too!) ;-D
I love the can of Campbell's Primordial Soup on Neil's bookshelf!
I need Tyson to hold kids classes on the perception of existence to Primary School kids throughout the Caribbean!! Please
Mr Neil you are so carismztic you will listen to anyone who wants to learn about the universe You are about beautiful person I Love you !
If you don't hear the music, you think everyone is .......
I was rolling in laughter at 3min 58sec.
Next talk time.....
Neil talks about car detailing.
Neil talks about knitting.
Neil talks about fixing modern train.
Neil talks about dirty jobs ( mike rowe)
Neil talks about pantyhose.
Neil talks about his top 5 subjects he wishes to learn more about.
You sooo captured me as always with your amazing mind, subtle, clarity and vibrancy in your voice.
Bless you Neil
Love all your material Neil, really got me back into science again and you are one of the few people I look up to and encourage my friends to listen to!
The way you make it so easy to understand , and entertaining is very unique. Keep up the good work! Much love x
I just wonder if people like myself would have had an influence on me as a child or adolescent. I would probably be doing something completely different in life now! Just recently found startalk after binging on the latest Cosmos series. I've probably listened to 50+ episodes in the last few weeks. Truly love the show and the way you spark curiosity in the mind of us all. Keep up the great work! We need more educators like you and your guests!
this guy should co host every time
gotta admit, he was good. but so is chuck!
Paul Mercurio is dope I would love to see him in the next episode.
Amazing talk once again
Also, wondering if a Dave Chappelle guest appearance can happen
Best co-host ever! 🤣🤣🙌🏾
I miss being on his spaceship with him. Just him and me....flying around the Universe together. Him as my personal guide. ☹️
❤️Bring back the Neil Tyson Spaceship!!!!!!! 😊
His voice is so soothing, we love you Neil!
The biggest mistake is that these form of videos have like 4k likes, while "funny people" have like 80k... It says a lot.... Sad.
Neil is awesome....you too Paul....and no..we don't blame you for him answering Paul's questions! Great job and enjoy watching!
I just wish that I could meet Dr.tyson some day & ask my questions about the universe and tell him how important he's to me!❤
Of course I'm at the right place at the right time. Am using my time machine. My time is 3 years in the future. But I use my time machine to come back and watch this episode
Hi, I always had this thought that as the boundaries of the visible universe is determined by the time from the big bang and the distance that light could travel since then. That would mean that each point in space is the center of its own visible universe. Then it would not be wrong to say that I am the center of my own universe. Thank you, greetings from Argentina
Thanks for the subtitles, make it easier for me because I'm not fluent on english.
"you wanna go to space? RUNNN!!" THAT WAS HILARIOUS. 😂😅😂😂
Have a huge respect for Neil, one of my favourite people on Earth, actually)
“I got it right here in my pocket” neil’s teenage years slipping out while saying that phrase 🤨😂
Because all teenagers are constantly telling dick jokes?
Anti-HyperLink and he also voice cracked while saying the phrase i just thought it would be funny overall to make my comment...
Neil wouldn’t delete my comment and remove this comment from highlighted comments over a joke bruh someones filtering comments for him ☹️

Thank you Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson for another day of info. You are a pillar of knowledge and an inspiration to countless souls. Keep up the good work, I hope to work hard and dedicate my life to science partly because of your influence, again thank you so much for everything that you do to help educate us.I am going to click like now so I won't have to later.
Instead of the Big Bang we should call it Initial Universal Expansion
Daniel Bray What I wanted to know is it really the universe that expanded or did the initial expansion expand into the universe. If not what did the universe expand into?
@@tim.e.l The universe expanded into spacetime.
"the big deal"
@@tim.e.l nothingness.. We are ALL in the Center of INFINITY!
@@okaydetar821 I am willing to bet that 99% of people who use the term Space=Time have not got a clue what the term really means, including me
I clicked the like button and it went from 7.2k to 7.3k!
You Neil Degrasse Tyson are the beat down of knowledge, ty. I love your work!
Paul was great.
Thank you for keeping me interestingly Fed about space,and open thinking. We need more....NOW!!
I think Subaru is also a cosmic name, its names after a constellation or cluster of stars if I remember right.
NO CHUCK! BEST EPISODE EVER!
You would be the best science teacher in any school ⭐🗣️
Had a great time, Paul was fun, thanks always..... what am I curious about?.....The existence of the Universe and the formula of our human existence.
I'd like to ask Dr Tyson a question regarding the age of the Earth. On one of his episodes of Cosmos, a scientist was tasked with determining the amount of lead in a zircon crystal as compared to the amount of uranium. The science was supposed to be determining the age of the Earth. On another episode of the series, Dr. Tyson was discussing element formation. The big bang was responsible for the hydrogen (a lot), helium (a little), and lithium (a tiny amount). Everything else up to iron was forged in the fusion processes of stars of varying masses with only the highest mass stars able to produce iron in their fusion cores. All elements past iron on the periodic table have been produced as a result of supernovas, including lead and uranium. As there are no solar system formation mechanics able to produce uranium or lead (or anything past helium, for that matter) how is determining the lead/uranium ratio anything other than simply determining the age of the uranium? Is there a planetary formation process that locks the uranium in zircon of which I am unaware?
You are the greatest asset to human life we could ever ask for your thee best thx for being a awsome teacher and person NDT
20:08 basically just explained a whole topic of business administration in 10 seconds which took me several lessons with my teacher back in the day
Hey, Dr. Neil, I have a question. The Earth's core is fairly large for it's size and it, as a result, has a strong magnetic field. Now, reference this in relation to the super earths that are being found. Is there any hypothesis as to how large their cores might be and consequently the strengths of their magnetic fields.
They could have no magnetic field
Iirc, Earths core is molten metal and spinning which creates the magnetic field. Other planets may or may not have all the all the ingredients to produce a magnetic field.
Thank you, Gentlemen. Always a delight.
Neil's pickup line "Wana find out how much dark matter can fit inside you?"
Nathan Brenner brilliant
Go away 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nathan Brenner bruv 🤣💀
,😭😭😭
27:00 It was a really great question.
This is the best!! Cheers!!
Thanks for coming to Minneapolis, last night. Was quite enjoyable.
The Big Bang is called 'Urknall' in German.
Which literally means 'Bang of the origin' or " 'First of all' bang "
This was a great one!
So glad i have a personal astrophysicist
oh shit i am so happy that i found this :D never stop doing YT videos, pleeaaase :)
Dr Neil i love you man i am going to study Astrophysics in 2 years after i finish my undergraduate in homeopathy here in South Africa yeeah
This extra banter/questioning is so much more entertaining to listen to than Chuck Nice. Sorry Lord Nice
NDT:...Chevy Nova
PAUL: Oh, that was the car we made out in!!!
I bet Paul's wife facepalmed upon hearing this.
🎉🎉🎉 The Main Event starting Barbara Strisand 😂
Since we are able to detect Gravitaional waves more concitently, would it be possible to differantiate if the gravitational waves originates from Matter or Dark Matter colisions ? And if it would be possible, what could that mean?
Thank you for all you do Neil.
Paul Mecurio is awesome host.
The cosmic car names thing.. *mind blown*
That's it in moving to Canada
Can we please lose the laughter and get some questions asked and answered?,,,Please!!
You must be fun to hang out with.
@@ohcliffy --Sorry cliff,,,,it's just the guy is an endless wealth of cosmic information ,,it just seems so much time is wasted on silliness ,by the time he's ready to get down to the good stuff,the alotted time has been used up!,,,but your right ,,,I'm Dee Definately not the guy at the party with the lampshade on his head,,,😐
I do get your point I was just ball busting a bit, have a good day.
@@ohcliffy I know,,,,,and he's also built a reputation of constantly interrupting interviewers while there posing Questions,,,not that where gonna get any Gems in this format ,,,he's best at lecturing,,,on stage,,all alone,,,in my Humblest,,,opinion,,,Good day back Atcha!
Is this the gentlemen that said "Pluto had it coming"? Nevertheless and notwithstanding, I am of the opinion he takes a lot of things for granted, and that is giving him the benefit of the doubt. A real conversation with him would be enlightening, that's for sure.
The 'science' product names segment was hilarious!
Chevy ASTRO! Full sized van w best side opening backdoor w full opening hinges.
You gotta get Dr. Robert Zubrin on here. That would be an awesome episode.
Best segment ever!
Goodnight Star Talk 😊
Yeahhh yeahhhhhh Star talk! Woot woot!
Lol Dude I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson he really makes learning fun
Your amazing Neil 🙏✝️
How to be like Neil deGrasse Tyson? Cuz that's the only sci witty guy💪💪🤟
I call the Big Bang the “Big Sigh” since a sigh is typically quiet and I like to believe that’s when the universe took a breath in and breathed life out
Neil if you ever read that, I hope you have remember to include the jaguar in your list. I mean jaguars exist in the universe so that seems to fit your logic.
That guy repeats the same question which Neil already explained .
Chuck's the best
What if dark matter is matter neighbouring our position on the axis of the the fourth spatial dimension? That would allow us to feel the effects of the matter (the gravity) without seeing it or lack of it or being able to physically interact with it?
❤ awesome stuff
The great expanse would be a good name for the big bang
Though if you really went there, guess what, you'd end up in the Bible! Hahaha! That's why I love science... It's all in the Bible. So call it the great expanse please 😂🙏
Pulsar is a motor bike model hugely popular in India and Titan is a Watch company.. and btw if there are any developers out there then you would know the whole versions of Eclipse IDE with the versions named after Jupiter moons (Callisto, Europa, Juno, Ganymade etc) and other solar names like Helios, Mars, Neon
I have a lot of intrest in this kind of stuff but no support from family
Just 14 years of age and lot of depression due to life.😂😭😭
Live the way you wanna live. If space is what you like go for it. Making your parents happy is useless they will die and you will be sad for the rest of your life with a job you dont like. Try to search ppl like you in the internet, dont stay alone
If we had neil as our science teacher we would have deifintely passed better.. Agreed??
And the top of the mountain near the equator that is furthest from the center of the Earth: Chimborazo, Ecuador.
Yes, and the weight reduction is super tiny like fractions of a gram or something.
lets change the big bang to the big show. the really big show
funny co-host, it would be great to invite him back again
Shouldn't the center of the universe be considered the point where most matter is moving away from? (for the most part)
I do wonder about the center of the universe, and why it’s typically avoided in astrophysics discussions. Center of the galaxy? Supermassive black hole. Center of the universe? ...... Moving on.
Holly molly, I live in Quito, Ecuador where the Andes are in the equator, feeling weightless right now
Dr. Tyson, not all demands are elastic. There is inelastic demand too, which allows the supplier to fix the price with no replacements,
i learned that Neil DeGrasse still cant do a lightning round! :)
thnks
Lol! Omg. Thank you! That's definitely a keeper!!😎👍
I love having a personal astrophysicist
Earth is flat lol
I'm not religious at all. But what always rattles my brain, what is the universe in? What was here before the big bang? And how long was there no universe as we know it? Everything has a beginning and end, so how does our universe end? When? What happens after? If space is nothing, then how does it expand?
HighStreet Killers More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.
I can just imagine people in space suits trying to set up bowling pins in the cold, unforgiving vacuum of space and then bowling and it all just floats away. And then they'd go back in the ship or whatever and eat weird astronaut food.
Well...it might not have made noise outside of the expansion front, but wouldn't it have made noise, at a decreasing level, within the expansion front?
Cellphone earbuds totally freak me out. I always forget that they're a normal part of life in this digital world in which we live. SO my first assumption is "that guy must be crazy. Who does he think he's talking to ?" It just doesn't occur to me that they're just talking on their cellphone.
What if gravity is related to the absorption rate of photons? While we think of photons in terms of vectors, would it be incorrect to think of them in a mild sense as a fluid? It could potentially explain why black holes can absorb light using gravity alone.
I didn't think I would end up hearing about other people today who used to make out in their Chevy Novas, lol. 😂
