Neil deGrasse Tyson
I lose sleep at night wondering whether we are intelligent enough to figure out the universe. I don't know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If we have the power to turn another planet into Earth, then we have the power to turn Earth back into Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The methods and tools of science perennially breach barriers, granting me confidence that our epic march of insight into the operations of nature will continue without end.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The persistent failures of controlled, double-blind experiments to support the claims of parapsychology suggest that what's going on is nonsense rather than sixth sense.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You innovate in ways that stoke your economy. Because innovations in science and technology are the engines of 21st century economies.
