More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe is so amazing and so limitless, who wouldn't want to study the universe?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I as an astrophysicist, see the universe, feel the universe, smell the universe every day. Every day. And for people to say, I'm cool, I'm right here, it's all I need.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Any time we are answer-driven rather than idea driven, we have lost the true meaning of education.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When you're advancing a frontier it stimulates creativity to find solutions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Some morning while your eating breakfast and you need something new to think about, though, you might want to ponder the fact that you see your kids across the table not as they are but as they once were, about three nanoseconds ago.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It seems that we're better at finding someone to blame for our problems than we are at finding creative solutions to fix them.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are star dust in the highest exalted way, called by the universe, reaching out to the universe
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you're denying God's power, that means you don't really believe they were miracles, and so then why believe they happened at all. What you're saying is you're taking the Bible's account as literally true in need of a scientific explanation rather than just people coming up with stuff to fulfill their religious missions.

Everybody's got money for vacation time. Look at how much we all spend just to get - well, I get sick on the loop-the-loop roller coasters. People pay money for that kind of experience. So I would certainly save up money, save several vacations worth of money, to go on a suborbital flight or any rocket flights.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you seek only easy problems to solve, then ultimately, there'll be nothing about you to distinguish yourself from others.
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
My goal is not to shove information into your head. It's to find ways to reignite the curiosity that we all had as children for the natural world. You don't have to tell a child to explore the backyard.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Venus transit is not a spectacle the way a total solar eclipse is a spectacle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We have people who believe they are scientifically literate but, in fact, are not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The idea that God resides in the unknown is what philosophers call the God of the gaps. And we have this thing called science, which marches on and makes discoveries in those gaps, ultimately closing gaps.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I try to write in a way where you care deeply what the next paragraph will be. I hear the rhythm of prose and that, to me, distinguishes great writing from ordinary writing. By the way, I don't even claim that I'm good. I claim that I value it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We're quite happy with our Big Bang description of cosmic origins. But actually, the Big Bang accounts for what happened only after the beginning. The beginning itself, and especially what happened before, remains the biggest mystery of all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don't ever forget that! And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
But to measure cause and effect... you must ensure that a simple correlation, however tempting it may be, is not mistaken for a cause. In the 1990s the stork population of Germany increased and the German at-home birth rate rose as well. Shall we credit storks for airlifting the babies?
