I am not the most annoying person to bring to a movie 'cause I basically hold it in and write about it later or tweet about it. The most annoying people to bring to movies, I think we all agree, are those who read the book first.

More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
As areas of knowledge grow, so too do the perimeters of ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Perhaps we’ve never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon earth and decided there’s no sign of intelligent life.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.
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
Practically every food you buy in a store for consumption by humans is genetically modified food. There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There’s no wild cows.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
95, 96 percent of all that drives the universe has no known origin.
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
If all that you see, do, measure and discover is the will of a deity, then ideas can never be proven wrong, you have no predictive power, and you are at a loss to understand the principles behind most of the fundamental interconnections of nature.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The typical person has no trouble believing without knowing. What people need to realize is simply that you do not need to believe to know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
That is a big question we all have: are we alone in the universe? And exoplanets confirm the suspicion that planets are not rare.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't see why there is no intelligent alien life in the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What would aliens say when told earthlings shift clocks twice a year to fool themselves into thinking there's more sunlight?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One should not be too distracted by definitions. Ideas transcend definitions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Deep in the world of atomic nuclei, life is not always tranquil.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It's quite literally true that we are star dust, in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase. ...I bask in the majesty of the cosmos. I use words, compose sentences that sound like the sentences I hear out of people that had revelation of Jesus, who go on their pilgrimages to Mecca.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The most successful people recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
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
One of the reasons we're here, that we exist at all, is that Earth, cosmically speaking, is in a relatively peaceful place: orbiting our Sun in a near perfect circle.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That's just not true. In fact, we hold our highest rewards for those scientists who can prove others wrong. And by the way, they are famous in their own lifetimes. We don't wait until they're dead.
