  1. When i was in school… Teachers spent more time correcting mistakes.. than blowing our mind.. me and my 8yr old always watch conflicting science video's and have a mini (Pretend debates) and she actually learns more and broadening her brain.. we've been on "black holes," she's Amazed.. and "Parallel universes" … I'm loving it!! Plus I'm learning!! Plus Joe gets the gets guests!!!

  2. broke man science i put ramen in the microwave and forgot water let me tell you that smelled like hot ass when it burned

  3. I have to strongly disagree with this podcast. The purpose of a microwave is to reheat coffee and make popcorn for movie night. Well done fellas. We need lots more of this.

  4. Neil is the only person I know that I can listen to for hours, not understand a word he said, and yet want to keep on listening to him. A great communicator and educator. Thx Neil!

  5. enjoyed the talk, and want to make a comment: the Europeans (the rising societies in this mordern world) heard about some new stuff from arabs, and at least some of new stuff the arabs got form India or other contries. the modern scientists still ignore (i think willfully) the fact that several scientific stuff was discovered in older indian civilization (and maybe other cultures in that time or before india, which is possibly not yet confirmed from available documents). i grew up in india learning that the new number system is called arabic numerals. later i read that the arabs learned it from india, and eurepons possibly learned from arabs (and still the indian scientific community continues to call it arabic numbers. too scared to do different than the established acedemia ?). the pythagoras theorem was also later found in older indian texts. the telefon/telegram stuff was possibly stolen by Marconi, from another scientist J.C. Bose., though its from modern time. Astronomy and navigation/shipbuilding was also someone in which india (and its traders) was advanced much before europeons figured out that the earth was rotating around the sun. i heard that Copernicus collected lot of data from Indian astromonic sources, and ran his calculation on that data to make his findings (that were already known to older Indian astronomers). there may be other civilizations in the past who made good science (china, egypt etc), and possibly some western scientists and nazis even learnt from that work. But we don't hear about them, maybe the modern scientist did not cite it, either to hide the source for competition reasons, or just to take the credit in their peer group.

    I come from india, and i heard these form people, and later after internet came, it seems to carry some truth. the point that i want to make it. modern scientific community seems to willfully ignore the evidences of science beyond what the europeon scientific community did.

    I am curious to know, if people from other counties heard stories of what was known in their civilizations before it came from some modern scientist. thanks.

  6. "If atheists disagree with me, clearly I am not an atheist." Yet atheists will be the first to say that they all have widely different beliefs because atheism itself isn't even a belief system at all. So yeah Dr Tyson, you're an atheist playing on a slippery slope of words. Atheists don't all subscribe to the same dogma, montra, etc. Plenty of atheists don't believe religious people are stupid, etc… Atheism isn't a personal belief/truth. It is the lack of it. Simple

  7. This Columbus and Moon eclipse saving his life in 1504 AD is just made up bullshit to hide the atrocities and bloodshed done by him and his gang of goons on the natives. Columbus looted the natives and plundered their resources.

  8. Joe misses the point at every fuckin turn with his inane questions. Neil is too far above Joe's comprehension. I would have preferred to just listen to Neil as Joe just interjects fucking nonsense.

  9. How Columbus describe to native the eclipse ? How my men ? Try to do da with Spanish people

  10. Thats actually so funny because I actually do use my oven to toast bread even though I do in fact have a toaster

  11. This dude is so full of shit and annoying. He only is listened to because he's a huge black dude who isn't stereotypically tough, and instead is a giant goober. It's a gimmick.

  12. Saying its 4/10ths of 1 % . Doesn't make The United States EXTREME Over spending any better. And I like how you didnt say the actually number. Our government spends trillions brother. Tell me why can't Nasa send people to the moon anymore? Why are the van Allen radiation belts now deadly but somehow back in the day they were able to send me through it to the moon and back? VERY INTERESTING if I do say myself…

  13. Neil deGrasse Tyson could have been talking to a wall and this podcast would have been just as entertaining.

  14. just flood all the major cities and have the everyone drive submarines

  15. At time 2:42:27, he said 10 years to be able to deflect an asteroid but I’m glad to tell you you guys that this week in 09/2022 mankind will launch a test to deflect an asteroid.

  16. So Tyson says that Land bridges allowed the spreading of humans and then for 10,000 years there was humans that didn’t know of their worldly siblings,well wouldn’t the humans that traveled and spreading humanity wouldn’t they tell stories of who was left behind isn’t that what civilizations do isn’t that the WHOLE basis’ of the ones before us I don’t think humans were seeded by one race regardless of what the ones that say they know it all think the ones who traveled would @ least remember their forefathers and the ones the missed and to a certain extent their would be memories told across the campfire also their are castles that were built 500 years before Christopher Columbus was even born that depict Corn which originated from North American it was No Where else on the earth and as I said there is several if not half a dozen of old castles and holy buildings with huge concrete pillars made in the image of corn the stalks and all so %90 of what scholars tell us is just opinion NOT FACTS and if they leave out such informative info for their purpose why are we being told info that they think we should know and not the actual knowledge that is out there for all of us..

  17. When they got into the thing about Decabels and sounds of cars… I'd like to say that no matter how quiet your car is (Having both EV's and Bentley's pull up) the sound is very much dependant on the environment the sound is produced in and also the environment YOU the recipient of the sound are in. When a company says 'our machine', whatever it may be, is more quiet than example A and example B; Show me the damn proof that it's as quiet as an EV in a secluded neighborhood or a parking garage. Otherwise your point is moot.

  18. Bro I swear Neil did the Kawhi Lenord meme laugh!!!!! Anybody else hear that shit in the beginning!?!?!?

  19. I think that we would be a lot further along if they taught kids subjects that they were interested in and things they need for real life.

  20. Certainly a learned person and thanks for sharing this conversation.It id interesting what Neil says about Chris Columbus and the migratory patterns of humans .Who is to say the peples of Asian decent and mainland China didnt decend from the aboriginal peoples of North and South America? Food for thought and research
