More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
One thing in life is for certain, the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You don't take a dead cat to the vet. I mean you might, but why?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
People like it when they understand something that they previously thought they couldn't understand. It's a sense of empowerment.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Access to science is greater than ever before. There are more vehicles out there that grant the public access to science. Not to mention the Internet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
85 percent of the gravity of the universe has a point of origin about which we know nothing.
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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Our nation is turning into an idiocracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It makes good sense to revere the sun and the stars ... because we are their children
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are star dust in the highest exalted way, called by the universe, reaching out to the universe
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As a scientist, I want to go to Mars and back to asteroids and the Moon because I'm a scientist. But I can tell you, I'm not so naive a scientist to think that the nation might not have geopolitical reasons for going into space.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The most creative people are motivated by the grandest of problems that are presented before them.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Deep in the world of atomic nuclei, life is not always tranquil.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You should chose your heroes a-la carte. Picking and choosing from one and then another, thereby assembling a kind of composite hero. That way when you discover something reprehensible about any one of them it matters nothing to you because that's not the part of them that piqued your interest.
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
When I needed to overcome the low expectations of others or the bias that would be expressed in one circumstance or another, I'd keep on keeping on. And I climb over the obstacle, go around it, dig under it, fly over it. That's what kept me going. Otherwise I would have never been an astrophysicist.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
All information is good, even when it is bad.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
