More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
There are two ways you can receive energy from your environment: One is molecules bumping against you. That's the air. The other is radiative energy. That's what you're feeling from the sun. When they say Get out of the sun, out of the heat, the air is the same temperature it's just you're exposed to sunlight.

As areas of knowledge grow, so too do the perimeters of ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I recognize that there's an appetite that I'm now serving, and I'm happy to do so. I think it means quite a bit that science has achieved this level of public interest and access. And so I'm simultaneously astonished every day upon recognizing this, and I think it's a good sign for the country and possibly for the world.
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
Science is a philosophy of discovery. Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance. You cannot build a program of discovery on the assumption that nobody is smart enough to figure out the answer to a problem.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
With no gravitational force to work against, your body not only doesn't need the same amount of muscle and bone, it starts breaking them down. As on Earth, so in space: use it or lose it. And exercise may not solve the problem.

Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.

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.

The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Part of knowing how to think is knowing how the laws of nature shape the world around us. Without that knowledge, without that capacity to think, you can easily become a victim of people who seek to take advantage of you.

It's progress I think, that science has joined philosophy, metaphysics & religion as subjects drunk people argue about in bars.
