More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I simply go with what works. And what works is the healthy skepticism embodied in the scientific method. Believe me, if the Bible had ever been shown to be a rich source of scientific answers and enlightenment, we would be mining it daily for cosmic discovery.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
With automatic spell checkers running unleashed over what we compose, our era is that of correctly spelled typos.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For all we know, the aliens have already done this and unwittingly concluded that there was no intelligent life on Earth. They would now be looking elsewhere. A more humbling possibility would be if aliens had become aware of the technologically proficient species that now inhabits Earth, yet they had drawn the same conclusion.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Miniaturization of electronics started by NASA's push became an entire consumer products industry. Now we're carrying the complete works of Beethoven on a lapel pin listening to it in headphones.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I needed to overcome the low expectations of others or the bias that would be expressed in one circumstance or another, I'd keep on keeping on. And I climb over the obstacle, go around it, dig under it, fly over it. That's what kept me going. Otherwise I would have never been an astrophysicist.

Science reveals that all life on Earth is one.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
God displayed a sense of humor when he configured the region between our legs an entertainment complex built around a sewage system.
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
Some of the greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken it for granted.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Not only do we live among the stars, the stars live within us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
My popularity does not derive from me pandering to people. People came to me. I don't tell anyone to follow me on Twitter. I don't tell people to like my Facebook page. I don't tell people to fill the venue. I'm offered to people, and then people come.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Once something is answered, then there's another question. Hence the eternal quest.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
85 percent of the gravity of the universe has a point of origin about which we know nothing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I can tell you that in my modern life I enjoy language. I enjoy words, their meaning, what they sound like to the ear, what they sound like to the listener. I strive to write the perfect sentence in all that I do, and when I write [the] perfect sentence I know it. If I had a second life I'd be a librettist for Broadway musicals.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As important as the civil rights movement was, I think what will rise to the top is that we left Earth in that time.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Today, scientists sound the alarm on other environmental dangers. Vested interests still hire their own scientists to confuse the issue. But in the end, nature, will not be fooled.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Photons are accurately and legitimately described as waves and particles at the same time. They are genuine wavicles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are in the universe and the universe is in us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
A television advertisement must illustrate the scientific method to substantiate any claim.... That is why stains are lifted, ring-around-the-collar is removed, paper towels become soaked, excess stomach acid is absorbed, and headaches go away-all during the commercial.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are part of this universe we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
