More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
When we try to look farther into the universe we come to what appears to be the end of space but actually it's the beginning of time.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If something comes up that is completely freaky, it's spiritual-looking to the scientist, the first explanation is not going to be that it's God, because the history of that has failed. It would have to be, like, the hundredth explanation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
But my vote for Venus's most peculiar feature is the presence of craters that are all relatively young and uniformly distributed over its surface. This innocuous-sounding feature implicates a single planetwide catastrophe that reset the cratering clock... turning Venus's entire surface into the American automotive dream-a totally paved planet.
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.

There's a lot of memorization that goes on in school. You memorize vocabulary words and all these sorts of things.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't want to go into space because of war. I think we would if it was triggered. If China said they want to put military bases on Mars, we'd be at Mars in two years. That would be quick. I don't want that to be the reason.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.

You can get an Egg McMuffin all day you just can't get the hamburger all day.

The world, I think, has too many late-night talk shows.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
There's no tradition of scientists knocking down the Sunday school door, telling the preacher, That might not necessarily be true. That's never happened. There're no scientists picketing outside of churches.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Because we all just function, the rest of us, just go to work and come home artists make life bearable. They give perspectives on things we never knew you could have. They bring joy. They explore inner human emotion, and at its best, the full dynamic range of that emotion.

It's part of our pop culture to give animals human personalities and talents.

With automatic spell checkers running unleashed over what we compose, our era is that of correctly spelled typos.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When students cheat on exams, it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning.

I don't want to die ... I don't want to die poor. Two great motivators in the history of human cultures.
