Neil deGrasse Tyson
Everyone has all different experiences in school. I just know that throughout my life, at no time did any teacher ever point to me and say, hey. He'll go far.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Earth is just one place of many that we could hang our hats.

In life and in the universe it's always best to keep looking up.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
He invited people to sign a petition that demanded either strict control of, or a total ban on, dihydrogen monoxide.... Yes, 86 percent of the passersby voted to ban water (H2O) from the environment. Maybe that's what really happened to all the water on Mars.

The trend lines in research and innovation look good for places such as India and China and less good for America as we go forward. So even if you're not enchanted by the prospect of cosmic discovery, the prospect of dying poor may be what it takes to understand the role of this adventure in the future of the natural world in which we live.

How many times have you heard a person in a workplace say, I wasn't trained for this! That's an impossible reaction from a physicist, who would say, instead, Cool. A problem I've never seen before. Let's see how I can figure out how to solve it!
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.

I see all this talk about jobs going overseas as a symptom of the absence of innovation. And the absence of innovation is a symptom of there being no major national priority to advance a frontier.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't ever tell people what to do! Even if it seems and feels that way sometimes, I don't think I should tell a person how to spend their money. I try not to tell people what to read.
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
The most creative people are motivated by the grandest of problems that are presented before them.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Kids are born curious about the world. What adults primarily do in the presence of kids is unwittingly thwart the curiosity of children.

If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them we still dig fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
All of the full moons for the entire year are special in that they have particular names.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What I’m saying is, when different experiments give you the same result, it is no longer subject to your opinion. That’s the good thing about science: It’s true whether or not you believe in it. That’s why it works.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Because we all just function, the rest of us, just go to work and come home artists make life bearable. They give perspectives on things we never knew you could have. They bring joy. They explore inner human emotion, and at its best, the full dynamic range of that emotion.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'd rather enjoy the money, and then be buried, offering my body back to the flora and fauna of which I have dined my whole life.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Without new economies, our old economies get our jobs taken from them because everyone else has figured out how to do it.
