More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
If factual information upsets you, then you are creating a world that is not embracing objective truths, and that's not how you advance a democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
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
The typical person has no trouble believing without knowing. What people need to realize is simply that you do not need to believe to know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are only intelligent by our own measures
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I can tell you about the universe, but she feels it and when you feel the universe, it has a whole other meaning to you. Otherwise, you just put a Wiki page on camera. You can learn something, but it won't mean anything to you later on.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
When everyone agrees to a single solution and a single plan, there's nothing more efficient in the world than an efficient democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Eventually, the Sun will swell to occupy the entire sky as its expansion subsumes the orbit of earth. Earth's surface temperature will rise until it matches the 3,000-degree rarified outer layers of the expanded Sun.... But not to worry. We will surely go extinct for some other reason long before this scenario unfolds.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It could be that these other civilizations, if they are far more advanced intellectually than we are, would not even measure our existence as a blip on the intelligence radar. They could be so advanced that we are to them what worms are to us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Countless women are alive today because of ideas stimulated by a design flaw in the Hubble Space Telescope.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is like an inoculation against charlatans who would have you believe whatever it is they tell you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What would aliens say when told earthlings shift clocks twice a year to fool themselves into thinking there's more sunlight?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
On Venus you could cook a 16-inch pepperoni pizza in seven seconds, just by holding it out to the air. (Yes, I did the math.)
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don't ever forget that! And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the greatest features of science is that it doesn't matter where you were born, and it doesn't matter what the belief systems of your parents might have been: If you perform the same experiment that someone else did, at a different time and place, you'll get the same result.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
A television advertisement must illustrate the scientific method to substantiate any claim.... That is why stains are lifted, ring-around-the-collar is removed, paper towels become soaked, excess stomach acid is absorbed, and headaches go away-all during the commercial.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not writing for myself. I'm writing as an educator, I'm writing to stimulate others.
