More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.
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
The chances that your tombstone will read 'Killed by Asteroid' are about the same as they'd be for 'Killed in Airplane Crash.'
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If God to you is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When I shop for fruit & melons I like to hold a grape next to a cantaloupe & think of Earth next to Jupiter. Then I eat Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
There are as many atoms in each molecule of your DNA as there are stars in the typical galaxy. This is true for dogs, and bears, and every living thing. We are, each of us, a little universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Some of the greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken it for granted.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nature is not here to keep you alive. It has just as many ways to kill you as it does to sustain you. And if you cherry-pick this fact, you are left thinking that earth is some haven for life, but 96, 97 percent of all species that ever lived on earth are now extinct from the actions of the earth itself and an occasional asteroid to stir the pot.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm a little fatigued of adults saying we've got to worry about the kids. And these are the same adults that don't know science and are running things and wielding resources and legislation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I recognize that there's an appetite that I'm now serving, and I'm happy to do so. I think it means quite a bit that science has achieved this level of public interest and access. And so I'm simultaneously astonished every day upon recognizing this, and I think it's a good sign for the country and possibly for the world.
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
As areas of knowledge grow, so too do the perimeters of ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big. I'm big because I'm connected to the universe and the universe is connected to me.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Only when creative people take ownership of cosmic discovery will society accept science as the cultural activity that it is.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The greatest teachers are the ones that turn a B student into an A student, or a failing student into a B student.
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
Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for energy sources buried in the sand
Neil deGrasse Tyson
95, 96 percent of all that drives the universe has no known origin.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
'Boldly going where hundreds have gone before' does not make headlines.
