More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I try to write in a way where you care deeply what the next paragraph will be. I hear the rhythm of prose and that, to me, distinguishes great writing from ordinary writing. By the way, I don't even claim that I'm good. I claim that I value it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We have people who believe they are scientifically literate but, in fact, are not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I object to religion in science classrooms not because it's religion but because it's not science.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Right now people think God is dark energy and dark matter, the spirit. Go ahead and think that, but the day we can tell you exactly what it is - that it's gremlins in the vacuum of space or whatever - then what's your recourse at that point?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Climate change has taken on political dimensions. That's odd because I don't see people choosing sides over E=Mc2 or other fundamental facts of science.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Today secular philosophers call that kind of divine invocation God of the gaps-which comes in handy, because there has never been a shortage of gaps in people's knowledge.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are in the universe and the universe is in us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I think on some level, role models are overrated If you require a role model who looks just like you to be something you wanna be and you can't find one, is that a reason to not be what you wanna be? No!
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't want to go back into space for military reasons, but the economic driver still remains. And so it's a matter of people understanding how that economic driver is revealed with healthy investments on the space frontier.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I would rather enlighten the electorate so that when it's time for them to put somebody in Congress, it will be self-evident that they will embrace the message and tools and discovery of science in a way that can transform our culture and even our civilization.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I wonder if, in fact, we have been observed by aliens and upon close examination of human conduct and human behavior they have concluded that there is no sign of intelligent life on Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It's my duty to enlighten people.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If God to you is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
... there is no shame in not knowing. The problem arises when irrational thought and attendant behavior fill the vacuum left by ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Society needs to see science not as a luxury of funding but as a fundamental activity that drives enlightenment, economics, and security.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Math is the language of the universe. So the more equations you know, the more you can converse with the cosmos.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What are you doing? Why are you concerning yourself with the meaning of meaning?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one wants to die, and no one wants to die poor. These are the two fundamental truths that transcend culture, they transcend politics, they transcend economic cycles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival.
