To the scientist, the universality of physical laws makes the cosmos a marvelously simple place. By comparison, human nature-the psychologist's domain-is infinitely more daunting.

More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
Too many people view on [space exploration] as a luxury rather than as a fundamental driver to stimulate interest in science to everyone in the educational pipeline. It's vital to our prosperity and security.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The first colony on Mars is not going to be built by a private company. How are you going to make money? You're not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I object to religion in science classrooms not because it's religion but because it's not science.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What scientists want next is a thorough comparison of what we and exosolar planets and vagabonds look like. Only in this way will we know whether our home life is normal or whether we live in a dysfunctional solar family.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I can't think that leaving Earth once is enough.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We have people who believe they are scientifically literate but, in fact, are not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The miniaturization of electronics, which ultimately was driven by the marketplace, was started by NASA, because it costs money to get something into orbit. So you want to trim your electronics, miniaturize your electronics, miniaturize your satellites.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We in astrophysics we think of the universe all the time. So to us, Earth is just another planet. From a distance, it's a speck. And I'm convinced that if everyone had a cosmic perspective you wouldn't have legions of armies waging war on other people because someone would say, Stop, look at the universe.
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
Rational thoughts never drive people's creativity the way emotions do.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I wonder if, in fact, we have been observed by aliens and upon close examination of human conduct and human behavior they have concluded that there is no sign of intelligent life on Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you're a scientist, and you have to have an answer, even in the absence of data, you're not going to be a good scientist.
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
It's my duty to enlighten people.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When everyone agrees to a single solution and a single plan, there's nothing more efficient in the world than an efficient democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If factual information upsets you, then you are creating a world that is not embracing objective truths, and that's not how you advance a democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The world, I think, has too many late-night talk shows.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The past is another planet.

People are really excited about robotic exploration. I understand the feeling there because, in fact, robots can do things humans can't. They can survive harsh conditions, they can explore places we would never go, plus you never actually have to bring them back.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
That the north star is the brightest in the night sky. I'd guess about 9 out of 10 people think this. But it does not require a grant from the National Science Foundation to learn the answer. The North Star is not even in the top 40 in the night sky. It's the 49th brightest star. Rather dull and boring by most measures.
