More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The past is another planet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not a scientist, I was not a good science student, I felt effectively alienated from science throughout my young life, and it was only when I became an adult that I began to really appreciate from a completely different angle the power of science.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You don't need to be a scientist to know Earth's age or that life evolved. You just need be one who embraces objective truths
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Photons are accurately and legitimately described as waves and particles at the same time. They are genuine wavicles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What are you doing? Why are you concerning yourself with the meaning of meaning?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one is saying you're possessed by the devil anymore except the most ignorant of people in modern culture.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The news media reported the $250 million as an unthinkably huge waste of money and proclaimed that something was wrong with NASA. The result was an investigation and a congressional hearing. Not to defend failure, but $250 million is not much more than the cost to produce Kevin Costner's film flop Waterworld.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For centuries, magicians have intuitively taken advantage of the inner workings of our brains.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me. To fall into a black hole, that is more amazing than anything I've ever read in a science-fiction story.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for energy sources buried in the sand
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Venus transit is not a spectacle the way a total solar eclipse is a spectacle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If cosmological theory were dominated by women, who are no strangers to cycles, how can we know for sure that we wouldn't then be told that the oscillating universe is the more aesthetically fulfilling alternative?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The persistent failures of controlled, double-blind experiments to support the claims of parapsychology suggest that what's going on is nonsense rather than sixth sense.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Why can't Pluto be a planet? Some people like Pluto. And if it doesn't exist then they don't have a favorite planet. Right? Please write back but not in cursive because I can't read cursive.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As areas of knowledge grow, so too do the perimeters of ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Some air you inhale was exhaled by Cleopatra.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
They [scientists of centuries past] call on God only from the lonely and precarious edge of incomprehension. Where they feel certain about their explanations, however, God gets hardly a mention.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
To be scientifically literate is to empower yourself to know when someone else is full of bullshit.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
