I simply go with what works. And what works is the healthy skepticism embodied in the scientific method. Believe me, if the Bible had ever been shown to be a rich source of scientific answers and enlightenment, we would be mining it daily for cosmic discovery.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
To the scientist, the universality of physical laws makes the cosmos a marvelously simple place. By comparison, human nature-the psychologist's domain-is infinitely more daunting.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The history of science shows that great mysteries get solved. It may be that there's an answer that humans are too stupid to understand. I'm intrigued by that possibility.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When students cheat on exams, it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If there's some kind of rock star status, would I be irresponsible if I didn't somehow use it for a continued greater good? I'm always involved in some way with reaching the public.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't want to die ... I don't want to die poor. Two great motivators in the history of human cultures.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Newton came up with Newton's laws of motion and gravity. They worked. They were working.
