Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Our five senses are faulty data-taking devices, and they need help.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I would lose matches, I fully respected the person who beat me, because they beat me. I can't blame anybody.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Odd how often blood is shed to obtain freedom from those in power. Oppressors must be the most insecure people in the world.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Practically every food you buy in a store for consumption by humans is genetically modified food. There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There’s no wild cows.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If God to you is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket.
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
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.
