More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm a little fatigued of adults saying we've got to worry about the kids. And these are the same adults that don't know science and are running things and wielding resources and legislation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The dinosaurs never saw that asteroid coming. What's our excuse?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One thing in life is for certain, the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
95, 96 percent of all that drives the universe has no known origin.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science, and its impact on a person's livelihood is the common denominator.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Once you've got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues to stick together, clumping into rocky asteroids, which eventually become orbiting rocky planets. And voila: a solar system!
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't see why there is no intelligent alien life in the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As areas of knowledge grow, so too do the perimeters of ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Life existed on Earth for nearly four billion years before anything remotely resembling a human being showed up. And even then, when we started to branch off from other apes about 10,000,000 years ago, our ancestors looked pretty different.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
A supernova is one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. It's so luminous, it can be seen across billions of light years. It releases as much energy in an instant as our sun will produce over its 10-billion-year lifetime.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We went to the moon and discovered Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The limits on your enlightenment come not from the age you stopped going to school but from the age you stopped being curious.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The educated elite is not without their own actual snobbery. And I kind of an anti-elitist in that regard.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For decades, we've been trying to cook up the building blocks of life, in the lab, and recreate the origins of it all, but the parts didn't seem to fit together, until now.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If Neptune were analogized with a Chevy Impala in mass, then how big is pluto compared to that? Pluto would be a matchbox car sitting on the curb.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When asked about which scientist he'd like to meet, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, Isaac Newton. No question about it. The smartest person ever to walk the face of this earth. The man was connected to the universe in spooky ways. He discovered the laws of motion, the laws of gravity, the laws of optics. Then he turned 26.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in front of you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
UV is bad for molecules because its high energy breaks the bonds between a molecule's constituent atoms. That's why UV is bad for you, too: it's always best to avoid things that decompose the molecules of your flesh.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Dinosaurs are extinct today because they lacked opposable thumbs and the brainpower to build a space program.
