More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
When you're advancing a frontier it stimulates creativity to find solutions.
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
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big. I'm big because I'm connected to the universe and the universe is connected to me.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The number of people in the world engaged in this search for catastrophic impactors totals one or two dozen. How long into the future are you willing to protect Homo sapiens on Earth? Before you answer that question, take a detour to Arizona's Meteor Crater during your next vacation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are in the universe and the universe is in us.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Why can't we summon the ingenuity and courage of the generations that came before us? The dinosaurs never saw that asteroid coming. What's our excuse?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Scientific literacy is an intellectual vaccine against the claims of charlatans who would exploit ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Thomas Jefferson basically secularized Jesus.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We still refer to sunrise, sunset. That only has meaning if you think that Earth is in the center of things, and everything is moving around us. So even though we know intellectually Earth goes around the sun, the language is still pre-Copernican, as we would call it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in front of you.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
For the film to 'earn' the right to be criticized on a scientific level is a high compliment indeed.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
In the animal kingdom, one of the keys to survival is to outwit your enemies. And when you're surrounded by carnivores, one of the best strategies is to fade into the background and disappear.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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
With no gravitational force to work against, your body not only doesn't need the same amount of muscle and bone, it starts breaking them down. As on Earth, so in space: use it or lose it. And exercise may not solve the problem.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I have thoughts every day that are themselves tweets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
So not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The day we stop exploring is the day we commit ourselves to live in a stagnant world, devoid of curiosity, empty of dreams.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What would aliens say when told earthlings shift clocks twice a year to fool themselves into thinking there's more sunlight?
