@@vasudevraghav2109 Science too. It's the very purpose of a science, which philosophy also is. You take some of the work that's been done on a subject by peers and you analyze, understand and comment or judge the research based on facts and thought. It may lead to dead ends, or to new pathes. Scientific method makes you see the new possibilities, and philosophy helps you not to get lost in the process. Which is why you always need a bit of philosophy as a scientist, and why you need some scientific method as a philosopher. You can study for years any given subject and never come out with a helpful result if you don't pay attention to the meaning of your research, and you can get lost in researches if you don't organize methodically the information you're using. Both need each other to be succesful, and both are sciences in fact. We do need both to evolve as a person IMO.
3. Statistics & Statistical Process Control. Critical thinking & logic defend you amidst the uses & misuses of rhetoric, but understanding Statistics theory allows you to understand and defend yourself amidst the uses and misuses of data & information. It is equally fundamental to being able to rate sources and comprehend what's really going on. Standard deviations and interdependent approaches to limits are how groups of things & events actually occur in nature.
Having gone through some of the older episodes, due to the lockdown, I gotta say how much I love Chuck to be part of this show. The show isn't the same without him. Just as informative, but a lot less fun to watch.
I’ve always been an advocate for “constructing knowledge” as opposed to instructing directions for a specific situation, especially in schools. I’ve never heard of david helfand but I’m absolutely researching more now, never had my opinions expressed so eloquently.
Definitely a solid way to get results. Science method was invented in the Arab world. Then they abandoned the idea, because of doctrine religion and culture. So enlightenment went to the next in line. China did in fact invent over 1000 things before modern time. Science is the hammer we use to chip knowledge away from the unknown.
Plural of anecdote is often how scientific studies begin though. Not saying that the morons with flat earth or antivax have a leg to stand on. Just saying that if multiple people (scientist in particular) have anecdotal experience with something that can lead to genuine scientific inquiry.
@@davidw1390 While that's fair, the big problem is that you can't use what could be just a statistical anomoly as part of your dataset or you're adding bias from the start. As an example to make it more clear, I remember reading about a study showing that 84% of the children of Israeli fighter pilots are girls, which led to all kinds of dead end questions about what it is about fighter pilots that make them more likely to have daughters, when the important question is "Why are you focusing only on what you already picked out as significant?" - It's the sharpshooter/bullseye fallacy that Neil alluded to in this episode. If you want to know how significant a clump of data is, you can't include the data that drew your attention to that clump in the first place! If you make the prediction that "From this point on, I expect the ratio of boys and girls to be around 50-50" and that prediction is proved wrong, only then do you have significant unbiased data.
We need a *"Critical Thinking and informal logic"* class taught in FRESHMAN YEAR in high school. We also need an *"Intro to the Scientific Method"* class or *"Philosophy of Science".* Those are probably the most important classes that lifelong learners and critical thinkers would ever need. Everything else follows.
Agreed. We also need to have already done that 20 or 30 years ago, but since we haven't found a time-travel method we've been able to make work, we should start now.

If ever there was a time I actually watched the ad to the end. This was it. Hearing Neil talking about giving me an opportunity to think differently, while he teaches me how to do that.....I'll take everything.
20:51 I still have an insane amount of curiosity. And I'm in high school. Props to my teachers for not stifling my curiosity, creativity, and desire to learn.
@@sanctionh2993 So true. I started getting into science years after I left university while I stopped being interested by any scientific class since I was like 14 or so. I just couldn't keep up with the flood of information with no meaning or explanation, teachers just didn't feel like giving complete answers or didn't have time to send me to find the answer myself, so I just stopped being interested.
Thanks to Neil, not only America is becoming smart again but also the rest of the world. Greetings from South America. Also, I’ve got the golden opportunity to meet interesting people like David. My curiosity has become increasingly active and I’m becoming smarter every day.
This mentally is an artifact of modern formal education. The emphasis is on learning and not understanding, least of all learning how to learn. Third year of uni is where the magic happens. Up until then it is learning how to walk.
@@apextroll School never really worked for me because I am not someone who takes in information by rote. The more I actively try to learn something, the worse it gets and the less I remember of it. The way this professor talks about wouldn't work for me either because I almost never come to the "scientifically correct" conclusion through what they call "logic". I'm very annoying to teachers because I always want to know "what if?" about everything and most questions I ask have no answers or any way to figure them out with human means.
Neil & Chuck, this was by FAR your best podcast for a long time. Not because other shows were wanting, but because this misinformation crisis is at the core of the world's current problems...
WE REALLY NEED science literacy, critical thinking and logic classes! I’ve been having conversations with people in my neighborhood and it is heartbreaking how intellectually bankrupt so many people in the low income neighborhoods are. And through out my own experience and the recent conversations I’ve come to realize that theological dogma may not be the reason but it definitely plays a huge part
You would be horrified at how scientifically illiterate most of the people i talked to are! They no nothing of the human genome project, natural selection, the fusion of elements that takes place in the birth and death of stars, even that water is 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen! It’s absolutely alarming.
Teach ppl how to think,reason,question and follow the evidence. This was a great episode and hits the core of the huge problem we're experiencing now.ty.
Wow. I've been watching StarTalk for a while and this is my favorite episode yet. I've know David since grade school and every time I see him my opinion of him gets bumped a notch higher.
That was amazing. It is great that we all can watch this for free from all over the world! I want to say "Thank You" to all the people supporting the show! Greetings from Serbia!
To be fair: In a college class for science, especially chemistry, biology, and physics, the beginning of most textbooks show you how to construct knowledge. Most people skip that part of the book that covers that information.
I'm from Holland. You know what I think is odd. Most aliens like to spend there holiday's in the same country as where almost all flat earth believers live? How come?
They go where they are welcome? North America loves sci-fi more than any other continent. (Don't forget Canada & Mexico, where the "X-Files" & "Stargate Sg-1" and many other sci-fi shows were also filmed and/or very popular.) Also, since the USA has by far the largest navy & air force, it finds itself near the AAV's the most. North America is also the only place free enough AND physically large enough for goofball offensive religious fundamentalists to be both tolerated in public and have a flat earth idea in their goofball bible-literal theology. Australian fundamentalists are equally goofy, but its size and position on the globe makes a flat earth idea untenable. Whether these two phenomena are related is debatable. However, given the relatively small area and population of the Netherlands by comparison, you won't see nearly as many "unusual" people and events in your country. North America also has more bears than any other continent. In fact, it has more bears (over a million) than the rest of the world combined. For some reason, you didn't choose to ask about that. Perhaps this is showing your prejudices.
Maybe aliens and flat-earthers both like bears? The key, here, though, is that we should go actually find out whether the aliens and flat-earthers like bears, instead of saying "that would make sense," and leaving it at that.
Neil is famous as heck because he’s not only a brilliant guy, but honestly, who in their right mind could ever not want to hang out with this guy? He’s so great.
Chuck’s on his game in this one! Another fantastic podcast! Thank you for the great discussion and for giving us knowledge and wisdom about these things
For those who want to know Clarke's 3 laws: 1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. 3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Edit: Hypothesis: Dark Matter is actually the gravitational pull from objects that exist in alternative realities adjacent to our own....
I agree with your hypothesis, but I would edit your edit, using "different dimensions" or "alternate universes" instead of "alternative realities." That phrase sounds too close to "alternative facts" and will create undeserved resistance.
Late to the party, but interesting idea. However, if these objects are able to interact with our universe, aren’t they part of our reality, by definition?
I'm new to this and hoping to get into astrophysics and this certainly is something...I've only watched a few of these videos and podcasts but I've been getting into it...and I'm only in high school...
StarTalk is one of my Top One favourite channels! Neil, thanks for always inspire me to look up....🤗🤗 Chuck, thanks for always making me laugh....🤗🤗 You both are very much appreciated! Now, let's head out, I'm buying! 🍻
Wow, this is great topic. I personally agrees with David Helfand, let the man construct their own knowledge. Knowledge is not something we create but to understand. It is written before we read it, we often re-writing this knowledge to become a thought to compuse us but rather make this knowledge a lot of sense to be as fact.
I have used David Helfand's method of growing your own knowledge base my entire life. I use my motto, "Seek to Understand". Seek the information to understand a subject of interest. I wanted to learn about Electricity and Electronics so I took a night class at the local Community College. If I wanted to educate myself on courses at the college, I would buy the book for the class and read it and not enroll in the class. Self teaching method.
You ARE making progress. Science has greatly impacted my thinking over my life, and that is shown in my son, who in turn, may influence others. Id wager you impact more people than you would imagine, directly or indirectly. My son is a great thinker (constructing his own knowledge, to a degree...) sometimes to my chagrin
This is one of the best (top-5 or even top-3 of ones I've seen) Star Talks. I am a math and science educator, and one of the things that I always try to get across to my students is that fact-based knowledge is one of the lowest forms of knowledge. A fact is simply a statement, a proposition, that is either true or false; theory-based knowledge is superior because it links facts together, provides explanatory models that can lead to the discovery other facts, and makes predictions about the future. Knowing things is great, but memory is fragile. Recall from memory is very fast, but if you don't remember, could you figure out how to recover that knowledge?
Torus fields are open at the centre allowing connection to the whole universe. This approach is like a singularity of 2 forces, ♾. Masculine and feminine or exothermic or endothermic or negative or positive. Point is oddly enough their is another torus field of convection their. As below so up above 3,6,9 as in all scales this dynamic exist. Such as cells or up to galaxies anything with flow has convection. But these motions of spiraling fluctuations which are apart of the whole. Are like alternating current that the embodiment moves through, that support and sustain the system. As well for us our masculine dense bodies are all connected to feminine energy as well. We have a connection to everyone and everything, by channeling our feminine side of duality. We can connect to our higher self and to the whole and the reality that be.
One of the best parts of StarTalk is how curious Chuck is about everything. It's great and it makes the show even more relatable.
StarTalk is perhaps the most intellectually compelling channel on TH-cam.
we are in a little bubble over here

Best episode ever. David Helfand, what a powerhouse. Also, we don’t recognize often enough that Chuck Nice is perfect for this show. One of a kind.

Neil, you were my hero until I watched this. David has supplanted you. Sorry.
imho best guest by far. love his articulation when he answers questions!
You ARE making progress. Science has greatly impacted my thinking over my life, and that is shown in my son, who in turn, may influence others. Id wager you impact more people than you would imagine, directly or indirectly. My son is a great thinker (constructing his own knowledge, to a degree...) sometimes to my chagrin
I love how much fun these are.
I seriously want more episodes of this subject.
This channel is fantastic!
Constructing knowledge, I love it.
This is one of the best (top-5 or even top-3 of ones I've seen) Star Talks.
I am a math and science educator, and one of the things that I always try to get across to my students is that fact-based knowledge is one of the lowest forms of knowledge. A fact is simply a statement, a proposition, that is either true or false; theory-based knowledge is superior because it links facts together, provides explanatory models that can lead to the discovery other facts, and makes predictions about the future.
Knowing things is great, but memory is fragile. Recall from memory is very fast, but if you don't remember, could you figure out how to recover that knowledge?
More please. Just keep it coming. Thank you.
One of the best and very compelling episodes.
Neil is just theeee freagin man! I love the way your mind works boss man! Keep em comin, i listen to these most of the day at work almost everyday
What a great guest and episode!
Science Santa is an amazing guest! Thanks for another great episode!
I just saw an ad about how you're going to teach people how to think... I've said everything you said.
I feel big brain.
sifting thru information is like tuning the static out of an old tv til u get a clear picture 👍
Torus fields are open at the centre allowing connection to the whole universe. This approach is like a singularity of 2 forces, ♾. Masculine and feminine or exothermic or endothermic or negative or positive. Point is oddly enough their is another torus field of convection their. As below so up above 3,6,9 as in all scales this dynamic exist. Such as cells or up to galaxies anything with flow has convection. But these motions of spiraling fluctuations which are apart of the whole. Are like alternating current that the embodiment moves through, that support and sustain the system. As well for us our masculine dense bodies are all connected to feminine energy as well. We have a connection to everyone and everything, by channeling our feminine side of duality. We can connect to our higher self and to the whole and the reality that be.
Congrats for the 1 million subscribers!!! Lets make it BILLIONS and BILLIONS 😏
This was an absolutely brilliant episode.
Wait, aren't they in New York City? Is ok for them to be in the same place like that, or is this CGI wizardry?
