- On this episode of StarTalk Radio, recorded live at TH-cam Space NY and premiering here on TH-cam, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Paul Mecurio ( / paulmecurio ) are back together again to answer fan-submitted Cosmic Queries. This time around, they’ll be answering the quirkiest of questions covering all corners of the universe.
To start, we investigate binary star systems. Would planetary orbits be stable in binary star systems? Neil tells us why orbital allegiances might vary. Then, we ponder if humans would be the most intelligent species in the universe if it turns out there is no other intelligent life. Find out why it’s more likely than unlikely that intelligent life is out there somewhere. Neil breaks down the intelligence gap between chimps and humans and the possible intelligence gap between humans and extraterrestrial life. Could aliens have visited us already and we didn’t know?
We discuss the idea of immortally. You’ll learn why Neil thinks the first person to live forever is already alive. Paul shares why he thinks it’s Beyoncé. We ponder the downsides of living forever and why death gives meaning to life.
Neil tells us what science fiction concept he would like to see become reality. We debate the merit of x-ray vision and warp drives. Discover more about ʻOumuamua, the interstellar object that passed through our solar system in 2017. Could it have been an alien space probe? Was it just another comet? Or could it have been something else?
Lastly, we dive into a passionate debate on the relationship between science and creativity. We explore the counterintuitive nature of the universe. All that, plus, we also investigate the multiverse and why, even in the multiverse, there’s still only one “you.”

I would love to have Neil at a dinner party of introverts. Non stop entertainment. So much love for him.
He would need either an extrovert or a group effort from all of us introverts.
Ohhhh I would love that too. Can I get an invite? 🖐🏼
we're gonna need only one extrovert to keep this conversation going tho
Every Bird he’s the extrovert that’ll keep us afloat 😄
Just one problem, introverts don't go to dinner parties...😅
So pleasing that our personal astrophysicist is also a brilliant philosopher.
you dont know what is philosophy, and no he is not.
@@michgingras And you do not know how to construct a sentence.
“8 planets” I saw that look Neil! (Me wearing my “Never forget Pluto” shirt.). Just coincidence, but amusing to me.
Ohh thats why he looked i didn't catch that lol.
LOL
Pluto.is.not.a.planet.
@@amirmohammadganji485 HOW. DARE. YOU.
36:12 Non-existence upon death: Something I already agreed with, but hearing it explained this way is terrifying, yet motivating. Why the hell did I watch this before bed 🤦🏾♂️
If only we all had a professor like NDT, learning physics would've been awesome!
I agree entirely. My high school physics teacher was the epitome of boring. He was very "robotic" as he spoke which killed interest completely.
I ended up not getting into physics until college as a result. Betting I would be farther along had the right educator been involved at a younger age.
NTD looks like something you might get if u have unprotected sex...
Learning physics was amazing!!!!
I have a question if we could surpass the speed of light and travel faster than light does that mean we could travel faster than the universe is expansion in reach some end point I'm talking about the entire universe not the observable event Horizon scientist like to talk about?
Luckily for me, my high school physics teacher made everything just as interesting as NDT does. I excelled in that class because he made me love it.
Hearing "Who's Your Daddy" in an explanation of planetary gravity is too funny!
Who's your gravity daddy 👉👤 lol
My daddy is my Sun! XD
@@namastewellness atarttastk
“Who’s your Daddy?” is funny, but so true in this context!
@@namastewellness you
I love the dynamic of having comics as co-hosts on a science talk show. I would love to see casual, raw, uncensored conversation between Neil and Bill Burr.
The friendship and chemistry between you two is awesome.
I also want to give Neil his roses while he is here:
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and conveying it in a way that a simpleton, such as myself, can understand. I love your work!
Just in time to wind down the last hour of my day at work, thank you Neil and Chu...Paul!
I'm telling your boss
@@dr.withoutthedegree3990 Go right ahead, I just quit Friday, lol
Dr. DeGrass Tyson I thank you. I don't disparage any of the inspirational teachers I've had in my educational life at all but I have to count you as the greatest. I listen or watch you and I take notes on what you teach so that I can get the books and learn even more later. Teachers give their students the ideas that further their own ability to learn on their own after the teacher is done speaking and you do that for me everytime. It is the greatest gift. I can not express how much joy its given me over the years that you've spent your time sharing your vast and brilliant mind with the world. Or how much I've learned in direct response to the things you've made me aware of. There is no real way to thank you for it so I'll tell you a little truth. Ever since I was 12 years old my person motto has been 'Just look up' and it made me smile to find out years later that one of the greatest science educators on out fair planet had one so similar. I look up to you.
Every time I watch a talk of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I feel like I unlock a new path of thought.
Neil, you need to write an Astrophysics for Dummies because you get me to understand what baffled me when others tried to teach me! You are my favorite teacher because you are funny, understandable and you connect with us on so many levels! You get us!
But.... He did... It's called astrophysics for people in a hurry
Such a wonderful show. I've just subscribed yesterday, but now got hooked on so hard, been marathoning, and just wish that we will never ran out of this shows. Damn good show
The difference between artistic creativity and scientific creativity was spot on. I second it!
We need a show with just Chuck and Paul trying to answer questions!
😂🎉
Paul Mecurio is an acceptable backup for Chuck. But he definitely a bench player when Chuck is back because he is the G.O.A.T.. Can't start over the G.O.A.T. but thank you to Paul for filling in and doing a swell job we appreciate it
This as a deep one. Loved it!
I like this cat. He's getting it, and he's putting things accurately into simple phrases.
Thank you neil for your share of knowledge
If the Star Talk staff even sees this comment.... This is the best Star Talk episode by far.
39:30 "My physics professor in college".
Imagine being able to referto Isidor Rabi with that and not by name.
one of my favorite episodes so far
If Neil had a son or a brother called Moe, I'd love to be there when it came time to mow the lawn. I can imagine how that would go:
"Moe, mow de grass, NOW!"
Sounded funnier in my head...
Paul Mecurio is an excellent guest. 👍🏼
I am 100% committed to the sun. It provides me with everything I need
Always enjoy hearing some real thought occuring!
I'd love for Neil to talk about plasma engines. The last I heard, they were at the working prototype stage. They even planned to test it at the space station.
This is the most informative video watched since the beginning of TH-cam. Thanks 🙏
@ 28:25 : The comic makes a good point. A star-hopping civilization could certainly master remote real-time interaction, a Bose-Einstein joystick.
@30:59 : How much energy would have been required to impel the course change that Oumuamua underwent? Has any comet ever exhibited that much 'jet caused momentum change'? What explanation credibly explains why its' change in course occurred shortly after passing earth? Does any one alternate explanation answer those questions satisfactorily?
Great show again. Surprisingly intimate in a slightly brutal way. The comic really warmed up to making good insights later in the show.
Humans do throw their poop... Just ask Sheriff’s deputies working at county jails. Poop throwing is real 😅💩
Indeed and also others spicies poo. There is a cow turd throwing championship. 😑
Ya'll never hear off bock turd spitting? Goes even further then throwing it just put a bock turd in the mouth and spit it as far as you can.
The winner wins a toothbrush.
Dennis Tafeltennis 💩🤮🤣
Zergjerk 😝
Velvet Boily word. I’m an occupational therapist… In a psychiatric ward… I dodge poop constantly
I love that he said "my favorite MRI joke" implying he knows more than one! Lol
NDT: My favourite MRI joke.
Me: He has an MRI joke?
Also me: Of course he does.
I got a nice example for creative engineering that doesn't get mentioned all that often. So, you take a few good (or awesome) engineers and tell them to improve on an oven. They can work for decades and make the best oven there is. But it will still be an oven. Then comes a long a (basically failed) application for microwave communication, and the birds fall from the sky. Some engineer looks at it, saw the application for microwaves besides communication, put it in a shielded box and there we got our microwave oven. I think it's a spectacular execution of cross-field engineering and creativity. Not as life-saving as MRI, but still very good.
Love these
Please kneel, never use this clown again he is not even the kind of clown that makes you laugh, just the kind that makes you want to cry. Love your work thank you for all you do.
48:00
I seriously thought I was all alone in that thought.
Soo happy there is at least one more out there.
But twins aren't identical- yet there is some evidence they do share experiences-
All you are is experience and memory- reproduce that memory and it's the original consciousness-
@@setaihedron
Actually, I was referring to time travel and a person's identity while also considering the multiverse idea.
I simply listed the timestamp where that part of the discussion concluded instead of when it began. lol
So much more than memory reproduction would be involved in determining who the person is who traveled back in time. For going back may in fact create a new universe. And there is no logical reason to presume who we are will be the same if we were to travel back as suggested in this video.
Brain chemistry would have to be virtually identical, which does not occur in this timeline.
Perhaps it would remain the same to the traveler. But it's also equally likely that it will be an entirely different identity all together.
Omg this show is teaching me so much thank you
Paul is the man
This is my last StarTalk video and then I've seen them all. :( I still have 95% of the podcasts to go through (listening to them in order; I love how non-structured and laid back the early eps are and that NDT has to wait for callers to call in lol). So I"ll be starting the All-Stars channel soon. Thank you NDT for all you've told me even if my silly brain can't retain nearly any of it.
Consciousness: layers of memories that can exchange information between themselves.
I like that!
This one’s an old episode, glad they finally uploaded it.
Cristian G. del C. If they’ve just uploaded it, where have you seen it before?
@@Sinnbad21 I guess it was a live stream; I know it's old cause on november 8th, I tweeted something Neil said on this Q&A.
Cristian G. del C. Ah gotcha
Best episode I've watched so far. Thank you
@35:00: Vagabond Planet; what a name for a rockband!
I love this episode!
Neil clearly hasn't seen my Steam backlog, i need to live forever because I'll perpetually be behind on my game completion.
Steven Wright is one of my all time favorites! 41:21
Neil, love you
My question is are fields of the standard model and the 10 dimensions the emerge from quantum mechanics related? I realized I've been putting these in the same basket. Please set me straight
I like when he is throwing sudden little hints like "understanding of Bernoulli's principle" in the sentence with Primate's understanding of flying, and I am "what, Bernoulli's principle, hmmm let me be eduKated" and bam there it is, I am familiar with the idea, but never knew who, what and how... Again and again I conclude that one can fill out whole libraries with staff that I DON'T KNOW d:(
the ones with paul are my favourites :)
Talking about living forever, earlier in the video you were talking about not wanting to think that the human mind was incapable of solving a problem. Losing that time limit would make a lot of people lose track and focus, I will definitely give you that. I bet for a lot of people, a large amount of time would be squandered. I could also see a vast swath of people taking a Roddenberry approach and move their focus towards advancing humanity as a whole, making those discoveries themselves, not just "laying the groundwork" for the science to come.
I bet if you had the ability to get Einstein back to the future for a few years, let him study the science that his brain spawned, then give him the option to live forever and keep working on stuff, he'd probably take the potion and keep working on it. Not for himself but for what he was doing it for in the first place.
If I had a teacher like you I don’t think I would have had to take the course 2times to get a low B. You are great
Never thought I would hear Neil argue that the human consciousness is essentially the human soul.
So helpful! I think I learned a lot XD
so great!!!
Cosmic Queries is my favorite bit
This is the best show ever!
At 7:11 . Like this Dr Tyson, "the ancestors I evolved from were not just gorillas. They were great apes.
This comedian is great!
now one of my favs!!
One of the smartest men alive and he forgets patrion asks their questions first almost every video😂😂😋
Loved this one, Thank you (uk)
Lol, I liked the ending. Very funny. And true.
Excellent episode Neil
Loved it thank you. Stephen Wright best comedian that was a good joke.
37:10 yeeeees I said this before I heard Neil say it!
Me again,
What are some issues with making a gravitational inferometer with lagrange points of say venus or earth?
Great Startalk
At around 28:30 couldnt you send the signal ahead of time like hours, days or years before so when you warp drive you can meet the signal you sent yourself in the past
Good one thank you
That was a great show
Wow, this was recorded when we were about to hit the Covid Crisis.
Btw, I like Mercurio as co-host. I hope to see him more during 2024.
Man, this episode really drives home the point that Neil is an astrophysicist, not a biologist.
We aren't 1 percent smarter than chimps, it's 1 percent difference in genetic makeup. Completely different thing. And an alien that is 1 percent different than us is likely impossible because they would have evolved from completely different lifeforms, their genetics would likely be alien as well.
@@B1u35ky clearly you're on the chimp side of things.
He didn't say we're 1% smarter, he said that our genetic makeup is 1% different and MAYBE that 1% is responsible for our intelligence gap. Either way, we're highly intelligent compared to chimps yet were almost identical. Now take an alien with different biological makeup that is 100% different than ours and think how much more intelligent they could possibly be as a result. The fact that they could be so different is his whole point. And he's saying that even if the aliens had a 1% difference than us they could potentially see our greatest achievements the way we see a chimp stacking boxes. He's not saying that it's possible or likely for aliens to have a 1% difference.
Man you really see just how stuck in a box some people are when you read the comments on these videos.
@@TheSCPStudio you need to chill out okay, I know what he was saying. All this nonsense about aliens though, it's just hypothetical. Chill out
27:20. Independence Day depicts this better than any movie.
Doctor, I my son came up a question to which I have no answer and it was amazing. I thought perhaps it may be in your wheelhouse. Are black holes or the space/time around them warmer or cooler than open space? Very cool question coming from a 13 year old. See, you are the best teacher ever.
Around 36:00, How about the fact that all of our known existence is not really "solid", but is instead nothing but energetic vibrations in various fields?
“My Existence”
I exist somewhere in between
Yesterday’s sun
And tonight’s darkness
Standing on the edge of tomorrow
Waiting for a shooting star.💫
I discovered this piece of writing in a hauntingly beautiful poetry book,
“12:12 Midnight” by Danielle Ever Rose
It was a great read.🖤✨
The weekly format of our calendar reflects the fact that Sunday is the first day of the week and that Saturday is the agreed-upon LAST (or seventh) day. In Hebrew, Sunday is even referred to as "Yom Rishon", meaning "the first day". Also, the Hebrew name for Saturday -- "Shabat" (compare "Sabbath") -- is based upon the word for "seven", which is "sheva" in Hebrew, again reflecting that Saturday is the LAST day of the week.
If I was exposed to this show when I was in school, I would have become an astrophysicist for sure. I am now a machine learning engineer, so I did okay, but astrophysics is so much more interesting to me!
This is so awsome
Holy!! I never thought of Star Trek's beamer that way.
While i am at it, if i had the chance i would like to live forever. But not because of fear of dying, but because i would be able to witness everything. I would be able to say where the universe is headed at the end of all time in the far far future.
I love startalk! Also .. what does it take to change gravity on a planet.. big or small
Mass = gravity. So if dump all flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers to the Jupiter it wouldn't do much on Jupiter but in here we would gain extra resources to do some thing useful.
Zergjerk what about without changing mass
@@leeb8992 well black hole forming near by or a worm hole or rogue "planetoid" that gets stuck on the planets gravity well thus becoming it's moon.
Love you neil you are the guy man.. thank you for everything
The science classes we all wish we had %1000000000000000000000000000
This was great
That last segment just killed me.
released on my bday!!
Oh The Green Rangers dad is a guest. Cool. I hope they talk about Dragon zords
I have a question for Dr Dr Tyson! Is the pattern of Magnetic field correct in textbooks or is it correct in that book on amazon titled as "My Quest to Understand EVERYTHING: Everything is the Mechanics of Reflection"...
His word play is off the chain
I love star talk🖖
10:15 someone needs to make a movie about this!
Keep up the act, Neil. Humanity needs it.
Yeah Neil!!!
34:50 I think the answer would be the Big Bang itself. The fact that it's still moving is because there's nothing to stop it, and what makes it appear to curve is spacetime itself literally stretching around it
Oumoumoua asteroids was really driving by extra terrestrial beings it just prove Neil theory about how primitive we are as they already gone without disturbing our saga history!
Neil is funny how he put it together in words......cleaver
Good Morning Les..#Jazzlifefree
Thank you for keeping make videos(:
Well, I am so interested in what is going to happen next, I want to live forever. How wonderful it would be to see what happens in the future. I'm going to be very disappointed not to see what is to be.
He is the best!!!
