Neil deGrasse Tyson
God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Revelation replaced investigation.
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.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
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

Neil deGrasse Tyson
All information is good, even when it is bad.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Right now people think God is dark energy and dark matter, the spirit. Go ahead and think that, but the day we can tell you exactly what it is - that it's gremlins in the vacuum of space or whatever - then what's your recourse at that point?
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.
