More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
The news media reported the $250 million as an unthinkably huge waste of money and proclaimed that something was wrong with NASA. The result was an investigation and a congressional hearing.

Any time we are answer-driven rather than idea driven, we have lost the true meaning of education.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Everyone has all different experiences in school. I just know that throughout my life, at no time did any teacher ever point to me and say, hey. He'll go far.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Scientists are human. We have our blind spots and prejudices. Science is a mechanism designed to ferret them out. Problem is we aren't always faithful to the core values of science.

Science, and its impact on a person's livelihood is the common denominator.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Exploration is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. That's what scientists do every day. If a scientist already knew what they were doing, they wouldn't be discovering anything, because they already knew what they were doing.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Venus transit is not a spectacle the way a total solar eclipse is a spectacle.
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.

How many times have you heard a person in a workplace say, I wasn't trained for this! That's an impossible reaction from a physicist, who would say, instead, Cool. A problem I've never seen before. Let's see how I can figure out how to solve it!
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The only accounting we had of the origins and the structure of nature was Biblical Genesis.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I've always been interested in pop culture. Some of my colleagues think of pop culture as beneath them, or there's the ivory tower and then there's everybody else, and I never could buy into that wall that's been put up by so many people over the decades and even the centuries.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Rational thoughts never drive people's creativity the way emotions do.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Gamma rays are the sort of radiation you should avoid. Want proof? Just remember how the comic strip character The Hulk became big, green, and ugly.

Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
