He is not only one of the smartest men in the world, he's one of the nicest.

Love this man!!

I'm not speechless, he talks too much.

"My impact would be that people learn from me in a way that they are empowered by what I taught them. So that when they talk of what they learned from me, they no longer think of me. They think of their own base of understanding, of how this world works.And so then I become irrelevant." `NDT.

I really get that. it's more important for the message, or knowledge, for lack of a better word, to be learned, rather than who said it.
That was one of my huge "pet peeves" back in school. it seemed that all of any exams were always asking for the names and dates, of any subject. Those were paramount over what was said, or discovered, or written. And IMHO. not the way to learn.

Tyson had people believing the first paragraph in his book “Cosmology for People in a Hurry:”
In the beginning, nearly fourteen billion years ago, all the space and all the matter and all the energy of the known universe was contained in a volume less than one-trillionth the size of the period that ends this sentence.

Try crushing a tiny pebble until it’s too small to see. When you succeed, do it with two pebbles.

Did you watch the video’s ending credits?
What is Motiversity? What are they selling? For how much?

Great video. I always like hearing Tyson explain things.

Wow. Great video. Thanks for posting.

The hunger to learn is an amazing thing too many people have lost, or even worse, had taken away from them. Tyson is very good at communicating and feeding that hunger. And I've learned some things from listening to Tyson preach his unique gospel of the universe.

This is the lesson Nikola Tesla tried to explain so many years ago.

Thanks for sharing

If you have any Curious Child in you, read, at least "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry," by Tyson.

There is a book, called "Just Kids from the Bronx," by Alene Alda, that features him, among many others.
To "create meaning," in one's own life, could be called the theme of "Man’s Search for Meaning," by Victor E. Frankl. "Ossified learning" is a marvelous phrase.
Tyson rocks!

What a good and wise man!!!

I watched this just the other day and I am a big NDT fan and supporter.

Awesome he is amazing

Tyson is a poet and a huge inspiration to me. The things I understand that I wouldn’t have understood without him is incredible.

I heart him, too.
