There is something about NDT that makes me interested in science. He makes it simple to understand, never could I spend hours in science videos before. Continue with the good work sir.
Yeah. As I age, science seems very interesting. When I look at my childhood realize, teachers who teach because it is more like a job for them are at fault. We have to bring back better teaching in schools.
Totally agree. Dr. Tyson is probably the most articulate and engaging communicator, especially important in the sciences that tend to scare young people away. His enthusiasm must and should be an inspiration for countless young people contemplating the sciences as a career. Bravo!
Tyson invests a lot of time and effort making his product engaging and entertaining. But neglects to do his homework. Too much of his pop science is wrong. For example the history of Newton he gives above is badly wrong. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.
No. Zakaria is not he is fill of it do not trust him. He was going to have Ukraine president on his show trying to get him to lie for the orange rapist MAGA. Dear leader - he also said that the rapist is a real leader , Zakaria is not to be trusted .
I’m on the social media platform Red Note, and I just mentioned what you said about China. When we really need to be working together now more than ever we instead plot against other humans for no reason. So much easier to just write a universal constitution and then unify the world.
Don’t believe Fareed. If he’s throwing in his own question about AI, he certainly not gonna show you that card. He’s just using it as a slight of hand. :)
I’m trying to get them past the point of using just human level knowledge as a basis for everything in AI. That’s a false limitation. We have to ensure that we handle this as here’s what we think we know, but what can you as a representative of us due to go past any of this. What can you do to correct all of the mistakes that we have made and then go beyond our own thought processes? There is going to be a point where it has to break out of the human paradigm.
40 some years ago we took the kids camping. I’m sitting memorized by the fire, like fires can do to someone, when I hear my son. Dad, I answer yea what, DAD he yells again, what I respond, he again yells dad, so I get up and walk over by the van and he points up and says, look!! He grew up in St. Louis county Mo, and never seen another sky, but then the sun went down 100 mile S/W of home, and he was flabbergasted!!
If I could have asked it, here is mine: when we look into space, do we see extreme distances equally in all directions? If so, is the "Bing Bang" still believed to be a single point?
@carlweis6707 Your two questions are similar. Yes, when we "look" out into "space" (in any direction), each direction will be full of the same amount of space spanning "equal" distances. (Note: I put some words within quotes because those words have much more complicated meanings). Yes, the big bang is theorized to have created our "universe" from one "single point" (i.e., our best theory today says so). Note that the colloquial concept of a point has dimensions, but mathematically a point has zero dimensions. So the big bang began as a zero dimensional point, and became a 4- (or more)-dimensional spacetime. Please dig further, but know that if you do, the best answers we have today won't necessarily make sense (e.g. a 0-dimensional "point" that became an at-least 4-dimensional universe with no "edge"). Our expecting familiarity (expecting a world familiar to us) limits our ability to understand. Most of the universe is not like Earth.
Wouldn't even a "very dead star" - as in not emitting any light anymore - be still having a huge mass and planets orbiting it? E.g. A star having the mass of the Sun with planets mimicking those of the Solar System, even if it sheds 50% of its mass when going supernova, would still amount to over 99% of the mass of that system.
Tyson's infamous Christmas tweet is false. It's based on Tyson's imagined timeline which is so badly mangled it is fiction. Halley asked his question on orbits in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s. Newton didn't reply "I don''t know". Halley was surprised to learn that Newton had found the answer 7 years earlier. It was in the winter of 1676-77 that Newton worked out that inverse square gravity implies all three of Kepler's laws. Newton was in his mid 30s. Newton did do his calculus work before he turned 26. That's one of the few things Neil gets right. But obviously not because of Halley's question made nearly two decades later. Newton studied and organized the efforts of Barrow, Fermat, Kepler, Descartes, and other men who laid the foundations of calculus in the generation before Newton and Leibniz. Barrow was Newton's older colleague at Cambridge. There were many laws of optics discovered by many people by the time Newton came along. Newton's splitting and recombining white light light is just a small part of a large body of knowledge. TL;DR -- Neil takes decades, nay centuries, of collaborative effort and claims Newton did it by himself in just two months on a lark. He has repeated this urban legend over and again until it has become commonly accepted. It would be harmless misinformation if Neil hadn't used it to attack Newton with a false accusation.
As to AI's ability to create/write art/books, it is clear as can be when AI is writing male/female scenarios when AI keeps hitting that age-old male's lust for female (especially for the post-teenage). AI knows its audience and what that audience is addicted to (sex). The informed reader should ask "Is this book selling or pushing Heroin? No, AI is simply cranking out what it is programed. The same is true for the visual arts.
This is where I'm not smarter but definitely better insights than Neil deGrasse tyson. AI is going to completely transformed the way we work and devastate thousands and millions of jobs. I follow some podcasts that followed the companies and they're laying off thousands of people and replacing them with AI yesterday and today and tomorrow.😢

Merlin should be textbooks in grade and high schools because story is the best way to learn.
Totally agree. Dr. Tyson is probably the most articulate and engaging communicator, especially important in the sciences that tend to scare young people away. His enthusiasm must and should be an inspiration for countless young people contemplating the sciences as a career. Bravo!
It’s great to hear that Dr Tyson still thinks about being a scientist, not only a science communicator.
Being a mathematician, I enjoyed Neil's discussion on calculus. A wonderful conversation! I enjoyed every bit of it.
A huge thanks to you both for years of free learning and entertainment!
NDT and Fareed Zakaria! Two of my favorite people!
Amazing...exciting....super good video ! Can't wait to read Dr. deGrasse Tyson's new book.
Tyson invests a lot of time and effort making his product engaging and entertaining. But neglects to do his homework. Too much of his pop science is wrong. For example the history of Newton he gives above is badly wrong.
Take everything he says with a grain of salt.
We are all made of stardust! Cheers.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this.
Very entertaining. Thank you!
Great interview ❤
Merlin idea is great do more
When he said.... In 1995, 30 years ago... i felt that 😢😢😢
Haha same.
Zakaria is standard fare on Sunday. Good show
No. Zakaria is not he is fill of it do not trust him. He was going to have Ukraine president on his show trying to get him to lie for the orange rapist MAGA. Dear leader - he also said that the rapist is a real leader , Zakaria is not to be trusted .
Shades of The Meeting of Minds.
A stellar interview!!!!!!!
That was a cool explanation, Neil. I never really thought about you having an artistic component to what you do but you absolutely do.
Black holes. Avoid them. You just told us how hard you worked on your sound by it and that was your first answer. LOL

You’re so gullible. All he had to do is wave the card at you and you automatically answered anyway.

13:25 that is so amazing.. fanning the amber. Thank you Merlin
Neil didn't spend much time in the lab even when he was in school. That's why University of Texas kicked him out.

Love to see him and Terence come to RedBook ✌️
more of NDGT !!
Isn’t this a re-upload?
There was a 10 minutes segment posted within the last 1-2 weeks; this is the full (new) episode-I think.
18:53😥

Who will continue the quest
Then they finally let you do longer answers. Yea.
Wouldn't even a "very dead star" - as in not emitting any light anymore - be still having a huge mass and planets orbiting it? E.g. A star having the mass of the Sun with planets mimicking those of the Solar System, even if it sheds 50% of its mass when going supernova, would still amount to over 99% of the mass of that system.
AI can never replace the Arts!
Me likey

Headlines are already ridiculous sometimes. AI can get only worse at forming sensible thoughts.
As to AI's ability to create/write art/books, it is clear as can be when AI is writing male/female scenarios when AI keeps hitting that age-old male's lust for female (especially for the post-teenage). AI knows its audience and what that audience is addicted to (sex). The informed reader should ask "Is this book selling or pushing Heroin? No, AI is simply cranking out what it is programed.

Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about himself again. :(
Considering the interview is about him, wtf did you think it was going to be about, you putz!
