"But Neil, they outnumber you 1 to 7"
"Then it's an even fight"
lmfaaaooo
Idk,not judging anyone, but i don't like people(Neil degrasse) screaming or being aggressive to prove or implement their point.
And another thing, he doesn't even listen and think about what other people are saying he just have a preconceived answer to everything,which he just don't want to question.
Pratham Bansal he was right though. NASA started and was funded solely because the U.S. wanted to step up to the Soviet Union and prove that capitalism is better than communism. He was angry that they were naive about that FACT. If you watch carefully, you’d see Lawrence agreeing with him too.
@@prathambansal8951 he is not wrong tho
so many snow flakes here. Neil is king.
Tyson: "now I'm going to be silent"
Lawrence: "no you're not"
neil to himself: "nope i'm not"

They're both asshats. And idiots. Listen to their nonsense...somebody ask them how the astroNOTS got thru the van Allen radiation belts. Aka the firmament. Hint hint hint. They didnt
"Science is hard, but it's worth it." Well said, Richard.
I just read this as he was saying it!!!
AliceDiableaux Because ya gotta learn math, which is even harder
worth has zero to do with effort-- the value one gets out of an effort has nothing to do with it "worth". I get a great buzz out of an old TV show-- the only "hard" part is finding the remote so I can turn on the TV.or walking my mutt. and he gets value out of a cheap and easy approach to a simple bush of little value, I assure you.
@@SangeevSelvaratnam me too lol! i was like wow that was a big coincidence
I don't think he's very social. That's why he only says cliches. " science is hard but it ..."
When Neil degrasse tyson sits quiet, he's actually recharging himself to explode. Love this guy.
Mars is a wondering star.
And no body can leave earth ..
No one has ever gone thru the impenetrable firmament..
More lies
Not funny@@dannystefanovski5513
He loves himself too
"You can´t argue with the facts."
"Watch me."
Now that´s an attitude.
Right, I kind of want to see a comic book based around Neil Tyson, with that as his catchphrase.
Yes, because he has made an effort to learn all the facts and has the conviction and courage to make them known
Brilliant Neil was on fire.
Don't believe me just watch 😎
or like Dawkins said about respecting others' opinions. "No you damn well don't have to respect their opinion." :> but I'd add a caveat. 'even if you don't respect their opinion, you've got to listen to it long enough to refute and disprove it.' :> which I DO think NDT does need to hush, calm down, sit back, DON'T JUMP UP LIKE A COMMON STREET BRAWLER... and have a calmer... MUCH CALMER... discussion.
This should have been named: "The Great Debate: Neil degrasse Tyson vs everyone"
lol
😂😂😂
Hahaha
Very True. People find Neil's interruptions very annoying, but on the contrary, I believe that is what brought the humour and entertainment in this event. It just makes people experiencing this the first time, realise how FUN and VAST science is and you can be a part of it and contribute to the community.
For Science!
Because he talks a lot of shit, yeah he makes sense (sometimes) but he only talks in laymen and my god he’s up there with the greatest minds and he’s still talking in idiot language, he’s talking to the crowd not the qualified scientist.
Agreed
Neil and Kraus are the two reasons i decided to do a physics degree at the age of 32, Brilliant men.

I’m 34 and just decided to look into it as well... it’s never too late!

The best UA-cam video for me.
8 years ago I watched it at school, and it inspired me to go into science.
And now I almost got my PhD in physics thanks to these guys.
Awesome
Can't pronounce your name but crossing the boundaries I can extend my love respect to you young mind. Let your journey continue with the amusement astonishment and continuous association with wonder.
@AMB my emotional concurrence with you. Let me share my part of overwhelming joy even a person been confined with basic arithmetic geometry and excel or Autocad types of software professionally for my bread & butter but I do communicate others with the jewels of science and scientific temper. Try to enjoy the reading or anykind of association with the know how.
this comment made my day
👏👏👏
"Am I just like .... thinking? Or am I just like... thinking that I'm thinking?" That Bill Nye stoner thought lol
lol
Thats why bill nye is so awesome. Hes not only very well-educated and smart but hes also socially intelligent. He just spits out creative quick-witted jokes when everyone else is thinking logically and seriously about something.
I laughed so hard when tyson compared learning algebra to learning a language like chinese "If you want to study chinese it looks completely intractable" and bill nye just throws in "it looks like greek". Great sense of humor.
I had just passed that part of the video and had to go back to catch the joke. xD Bill Nye is great @Free Dom
Even old uptight Dawkins can't resist a chuckle or two in this setting/
it was a surprising GREAT imitation

I think Lawrence did an excellent job moderating. Everyone seemed like they were having fun. Even Richard lol.
good point
The host was annoying and trying way too hard to be funny and each time it was at someone else's expense, primarily Dr. Tysons.
Pretty sure Neil and Stephen are good friends in real life, which is why they don't mind acting that way towards each other.
joshy2 boss+ They are friends.
Not to mention Tyson has a tendency to dominate discussions and it is hard for others have their say.
@@joshy2boss931 All these scientists you see are friends. They dig at each other all the time. I can understand how that could be taken the wrong way.
Tyson & Nye are two natural comedians as well as being brilliant. Just imagine if all your teachers were the same.

"No you damn well haven't got to respect their opinion" [21:52]
- Richard Dawkins
I am gonna use that on so many idiots on the internet. THANK YOU RICHARD, you are a hero of reason!
That's right and it goes for him as well.
That he is called Captain Logic by his sycophants is funny. Here's why: he said his Oxbridge college has more Nobel Peace Prizes than 'muslims'; but he failed to realize 'muslims' have infinitely more Nobel Peace Prizes than Richard Dawkins.
Enjoy that one sycophant.
Oh and there's just as many psychotic Muslims as psychotic Westerners, Richard Dawkins does have a mental health issue from his 'public' school upbringing, chances of him dealing with that are minuscule.
Faesen "Oh and there's just as many psychotic Muslims as psychotic Westerners"
Yup we're taking our shoes off at the airport right now because of the Westboro Baptists.
Faesen It is obvious that you are trying to participate in this stupid internet phenomena known as "trolling". It is either that or you are breaking records for stupidity.
John McKay So you don't even have basic mathematics, science and logic: well for free zero equals nothing and 1 equals absolute certainty.
Absolutely anything is an infinite compared to zero. It's why the Big Bang happened, maybe you can try and rap your mind around from one particle came the entire universe.
Zero is awful, having no Nobel prizes and having the nerve to lambast others, oh and to bring his college into disrepute as well. Dawkins reminds me of a gobby kid who'll go and get his brothers if his bullying doesn't work and someone splats him. Of course all around the world there there are those who are as cowardly as he is, and in fact much worse.
I graduated from a top 10 UK university, the last thing I'd do is leech off others achievements, though I know people like yourself that's how you operate.
And you're in the military?
Well I guess you send a wacko to kill a wacko.
Tyson was great. His point about politics and science was unbelievably true.
Dominic London. Wrong.

*Aight i won the debate*
A lot of people state that these scientists don't like eachother or are arguing. They're not arguing, they're debating. They all respect eachother. In fact, Nye and Tyson are friends. They disagree on something's but they respect and look up to one another
Exactly. A lot of people seem to confuse "fighting" with "debating."
Tyson definitely has a real problem with Brian Greene though, astrophysics and string theory don't blend well and he takes it way too personally. If you watch him when Greene is talking he doesn't laugh and looks disgruntled the whole time. It's unfortunate because they're both such informative scientists.
@@patrickcompton1483 That's true
Gotta love Neil, his energy, passion, charisma, jokes, knowledge such a all rounded guy!
He really loves himself too
Neil agrees
He is a bafooooon
He showed his true colour at 13:25... He is not interested in a conversation if he is not the authority. He is very smart but also a narcissist.

gotcha987 time?
The Rickest Rick around the 20 minute mark.
i love how all these guys can sit down and debate and argue about things and have fun, but they don't really really get mad at each other. That's the great thing about rational people, they can argue on views about things and are willing to learn from each other and brush it off. religious people argue about things and take it personal and create wars.
+xGOOFYJELLYFISH that's emotional maturity, not rationalism. look at niel and his frequent outbursts and underhanded remarks.
+xGOOFYJELLYFISH if you really look into it, most wars were started for other reasons. Things like religion, etc are just used as an excuse so one group of people can exert power over another. I'm not a believer btw. With enough scientific, economic, societal advances we can probably eliminate war completely.
Nice generalizations there
+Yijuwarp Scientific evolution is profited through ward, economics are seek through war, and society advances are means of war. Wars are created to be right over other people and assume they are inferior to them. Religion helped to think they were chosen, better people. Look at the Vatican and their Holy Crusades, previously that Religion was into that too, after that too, and in between many religions did that. Anything that divides people in different ranks create wars. Like civil wars.
+xGOOFYJELLYFISH That's complete BS. It's not because they are rational that they get along but because they are part of the same group.
Put christians together or muslims together or jewish together and they'll get along just the same.
The same in politics or for any field for that matter.
And don't forget that they are there to promote science (and not to ruin the show of their friend who happens to be the producer of the show).
Have you ever seen a debate between a rationalist and a religious? Most of the time, it's the rationalist that tends to go nuts.
You can express your dislike of religious people but you can't just invent some BS theory from thin air to do so.
Your comment is uncalled for and is based on nothing but personal bias.
Love Neils passion. That's what we, at least in America need. We need the Bill Nye and NDGT type of scientists to light a fire about science in kids, as well as adults!
Brian Greene & michio kaku too
Michio kaku for sure Is up there
It starts at home. There are only so many NDGT's and Bill's to go around. Parents have to start allowing their children to experiment and ask hard questions.
Will your half right but no 1 needs to mimic Tyson and how rude he is And loud like A Neanderthal
This was eight years ago, and since then, Neil was right. String Theory is obsolete. Many grants and funding-many many grants and funding-have done nothing but been a waste of money. Greene is still spewing string in argument for this theory when it is proven it can not answer anything. In this timeframe we have a new theory, as of 2014: Emergence Theory-E8-of Quantum Gravity. Garrett Lisi found the answers with mathematical theorem, and with that knowledge has started a group known as Quantum Gravity Research.
Them: you’re outnumbered Neil!
Neil: well you’re outmatched
Nice comment !!
I can't get enough of these guys.
Why am I laughing in a science class for 45 minutes straight
30:55 A says" its a fact, you cant argue facts", Neil responds "watch me" lol
I imagine Richard Dawkins narrating everything in his head like a nature program.
Lol 🤣
“The bombastic nature of these mammals to loudly propound their knowledge in a public gathering is a sort of human equivalent of the brilliant plumage of the male peacock.”
I have noticed that Neil can exist in two states. He is either uncomfortable and silent, or content and talking...and there is no in between. I like the guy, but if you watch he is either out-talking the entire group or sitting there looking horribly uncomfortable.
That means he's a good listener. You can't learn and think at the same time. He is listening to everyone. He only comments when he's asked or he disagrees.
+quest 757 I'd say that's certainly incorrect. In order to learn you do have to think because that is the process for progress. Certainly if you just didn't think when learning and just processed all the information as fact, that is why everyone thought the earth was the center of the universe for so long. In order to learn things have to be processed and so rationally thought about in order for progress to occur.
+quest 757 he did not "comment" he interrupted others.
But Lawrence Krauss did a very good job to moderate the whole debate. He really appears to be able to read Neil's mind and calm him down by rephrasing his thoughts in a slightly more moderate way.
Ralf Oltmanns
He did. He's good at reading the subtle cues and keeping things civil.
I wish I could put the passion and drive of Neil Degrass Tyson into our government!

I wish Richard Dawkins had joined in at about the 10 minute mark. I'd be interested to hear his views on how important math is to biology.
+Aeroscience DNA. Your body is an executed program read from the compiling softwares called RNA holoenzyme polymerase and mRNA. Understanding how DNA works, how chromosomes work, understanding the genome and mapping the genome, all of that uses math. DNA is no different than old 1s and Os, except each of the tiniest pieces are two bits instead of one.
+Nigel Kirk in a sense you are right, but unless your discipline is bioinformatics most maths you will encounter and have to apply is pretty basic (although you will encounter maths in some form in every branch of biology)
I would be very surprised if biologists on that level don't have a solid grasp on things like probability, which is part of mathematics.
+Marcel Jones That might be true for high school level biology, but at university the bachelors and masters in biology requires just as much math as many engineering studies.

Problem with Richard is he projects himself as an expert on waaaaaaay too many subjects. And because of his success in teaching evolution, people interpret his other subject views as viable. He needs to stop talking about religion, philosophy, etc. because he has no credentials.
i think you´re one hot lady, even though you don´t give a damn about what i think. Neil....he just loves the sound of his own voice...but he´s one cool customer.
***** Geez, you sound more like some chick, who is judging a man who doesn't meet her standards, which is as equally annoying as what you just said. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is just another scientist who is very passionate about what he says, and the fact of the matter, is that war does indeed fuel scientific progress and not the need for adventure in the government. Brian Green and Laurence Krauss were both wrong and were about to go on a huge rant about it. If you can't handle the fact that Neil gets passionate over misleading thoughts about what fuels science then you just need to get the fuck over it or get the fuck out.
***** Neil is actually the one with the open mind on the matter. The other scientists are claiming that X has to be like Y. Neil is saying that we have no evidence that X even exists.
*****
Because you used the phrase "turn off" which makes it sound like you're judging his suitability as a mate, not as a scientist, which is something a chick would be prone to doing. I assumed you're a chick because your username is "May Been" and I don't know many males named "May". The man got passionate, you insulted him for it, I don't like people who make disparaging comments toward others who are unafraid to express their opinions with some gusto.

+joseph duenas WTF ITS TRUE LOL
And stewie to sound like Richard Dawkins.
Neil is such a top-caliber scientist not because of his science, but because he doesn't shy away from the truth of things. He tells it like it is and he doesn't deny reality. Not that the rest of them do, but he's willing to admit even when science isn't about science (NASA and the Cold War, for example).
+It's Me I was about to comment the same thing. He gets so excited and I love it...when you walk into the room with Neil Degrasse Tyson, you have entered the no bullshit zone!
Walter M You got it!
Neil Degrasse Tyson is without a doubt a unique individual. But one thing that I think he might share with his other astrophysicist colleagues, one of the advantages of being (a scientist) in that field, is being exposed to the perspective of big things. Big things like planets, solar systems, galaxies, and black holes, and all those other wonderfully enormous activities that are happening everyday, but out of the consciousness of the average individual. I think when you observe these objects for a living, you adopt a paradigm of understanding long stretches of time in a new way, you develop a new way to use scientific theory that dictates using BIG generalizations to arrive at conclusions(assisted with mathematics of course). Its all so BIG that its necessary to think BIG to even be able to comprehend what small bit you can, dare i say you need to, to even be able to do anything in the profession.
Combine this perspective with ( another very contrasting perspective) of the small. For instance a relatively inconsequential individual political event(a squabble between two people), or a relatively small period of time(say 1,000 years) that seems to be a defining importance in history, or even individual person.
Bring these two perspectives together, and you've hit philosophers sweet spot. The elusive pot of gold that every philosopher looks for to make the most intellectually stimulated reasoning ,the contradiction.
The contradiction is nothing more than two logical extremes that in effect mark the two polar 'flagpoles' of capable thought. Once the playing field is defined, its a cake walk just to start applying human reason to arrive at a hypothesis. That is to say, JUST THINK with as much honesty as you can muster. Now with your newly developed hypothesis and power of reason in your back pocket, just start SCIENCING till you cant science anymore. When your happy enough or just tired of sciencing, and decided you've reached the happy medium you can be satisfied with !VOILA! You're somewhere earth-shattering. Just look around tell us what you see.
Obviously, because of his career,we know he sees the big. Just by listening to his stories and intricate knowledge of human historical events, and even current events we know that he sees the small as well. I think this potent combination of contrasting perspectives is what gives Degrasse his confidence. Its part of why, it always seems like he's saying "No, please, I've got something important to say."
He's just telling us what he sees.
He is top-caliber "get-the-camera's-on-me" material and he stole time from others to respond. I get that he's all excited and tries to spread the excitement to others, but I find it a little disrespectful when he starts answering questions that weren't directed at him.
And if you ask me, he smokes too much weed. How many times did he wander off and lost the point he was getting to? He should calm down a little, take a pill ... let some others do some talking as well.
Yet he says government should be leading the frontier to Mars, instead of you know, people that are ACTUALLY DOING IT, like Space X.
If we follow his prerogative then we would never go to Mars with government backing because there is absolutely 0 reasons from the geopolitical. Its literally another world.
The ancient greeks and romans had social forums called gymnasiums where all the great thinkers and scholars got together and talked about science and philosophy. That became the cradle of modern scientific aptitude. This programs reminds me of that.
That's what it reminded me of too. I wish society would embrace this more.
I love how Neil can say literally anything, and the crowd will applaud him xD
Thats not true the things that neil said were relevant
What is people's problem with Richard Dawkins? A Tumblr post brought me to this video and everyone was giving him a bunch of crap. I don't see why. He didn't say anything bad. Can anyone tell me why so many people on that website don't like him? Because I think he's awesome. I get to do a biography on him for my science class and I'm super excited about it.
Same! That's why I'm here as well. I am a huge fan of both Dawkins and Nye!
Bobt Sims That's another thing that was weird. They loved Nye but hated Dawkins. They even acted like Dawkins disagreed with Nye for some reason, when they're really on the same page. It had something to do with the way he was sitting, I think. He was kind of leaning away from Nye and they said something along the lines of, "It's like Bill Nye has an aura that repels assholes." It's all nonsense.
Richard Dawkins is sort of... abrasive. He's honest and he speaks his mind. When he sees superstition he doesn't spare feelings while on his way to pointing it out. It has attracted to him the ire of lots of folks (religious folks mostly) in the past. And for some reason the radical "feminists" seem to hate him, never figured out why but it's most likely on some bullshit reason like most of the things they get their panties up in a bunch about nowadays.
Dawkins doesn't mince words, and tends to speak in a more calm and relatively neutral tone, as compared to NDT's or Nye's extreme enthusiasm. My guess is that those people on Tumblr didn't understand Dawkins or skipped past his chances to speak because they thought he was "boring;" in reality, while he's not the most enthusiastic or prominent member on that board, he has some of the best things to say.
Mattea Williams Yeah literally same, " tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance ". The post on tumblr used a screenshot and the position Dawkins was sitting in to push an agenda. They presented the photo as if the two had disagreed. I think they just did it for popularity on that post, using bill nye the prominent,social figure as the american champion of " yeah woo equality!" and Dawkins was presented as the antagonist. It was just an opportunity to get some popularity on a post but im glad they did it because i thoroughly enjoyed watching this whole discussion.
Bill Nye made me roll on the floor with laugher when he was like "wow am I thinking or am I thinking am thinking" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched this debate several times over the past years. We need more like these.
9:00 I think Greene is right here. Tyson opts for the pop sci 'language of the universe' stuff to wow the audiences but in reality, as Greene says, maths is just used in our current logical *description* of the Universe. And an amazing one at that
As much as I love Neil, that's my only critique of him.
I agree with Neil! He’s right though, it is working now! If and when it limits us we’ll try other things but the current math has helped us explain many things that actually work and can be predicted!
That last part is what I call real women empowerment. No political agenda, no individual selfishness. Pure encouragement.
This is the best thing i've ever watched on youtube hands down.
I was as much impressed by how Richard Dawkins managed to remember which nest belonged to which bird (without a script), as I was by the Cuckoo's sleight of hand. His story became so convoluted at one point that I very nearly lost the thread. 😂
Man, that was one of the best things ever. I'm grateful for every one of these individuals. Special thanks to Lawrence Krauss for organizing stuff like this, very much necessary.
Honestly loved every moment of this video. This is the stuff I live for. Beautiful.
20:44 When the teacher's asking a question and she can pick a random student to answer
I think a lot of times when people say " i am not good at something" , sometimes it can be about the teacher too, i know i failed algebra in my high school and always thought i was bad at math, But i took physics in high school, and my physics teacher was passionate and loved to teach just like Neil and he made you interested and took the time to explain very well, i got amazing grades in that class and it was the most fun and interesting one i ever took in school. He always took 2 weeks to teach astronomy as well as he was a college teacher of astronomy at a local community college. He may have passed from this earth, but his legacy of teaching young adults good science will always be remembered! Thanks MR. FRED.
I can’t believe I missed video this for 7 years! Great debaters. Great topics. With enough humor thrown in to make me smile a lot and even laugh explosively a few times.
Very inspirational at times. The opening remarks about “look around the venue. Science gave us everything here. The lights, the paint, your clothes...”
Just a great panel. I wish it was 5 hours longer.
Tyson speaks the truth about space... DAMN! But I can agree that science can be driven by exploration and discovery, but military purposes are very dominant as far a as pushing these fields forward.
These are the avengers of the science field!
Man Neil degrasse tyson is so passionate about science you can't help but listen
I wouldve gotten straight A's if he was my teacher every year growing up
This was a mess... but extremely entertaining
I could listen to talks like this for days. In fact, it's 10 am and I haven't been to bed yet. I've been binge watching Cosmos and this talk since last night :P
Sometimes I still stay awake at night asking myself "Am I thinking? Or am I just thinking that I am thinking?"
lol
i love this debate, i wish it could've gone longer
30:02 - 30:17 "and I slap them!" xD
“There’s an attitude in the culture that says that everybody’s entitled to their opinion, you have to respect their opinion... No you damn well haven’t got to respect their opinion!”
I don’t know who that guy is, but I like him.
Richard Dawkin
‘Dawkins’
That however sounds like the mentality of theologists.... so....
@@Blood0cean I disagree. He is saying you do not need to respect uninformed, biased opinions. You should give as much respect to an opinion as the person has put towards it. Most religious people do very little of this, though not all. Richard Dawkins lives by this philosophy and has talked to religious leaders many times, which is no doubt where he learned this lesson. Many of them do not understand the basics of science, its teachings, or even the teachings of their faith, and as such their opinions are practically worthless. They are entitled to have them, but that doesn't mean it's quality, or that you should respect such an opinion.
The one and only Professor Richard Dawkins.
Brian Greene with the math joke was epic. It's really hilarious the way he put it. Love all of them.
This was a GREAT find. I found a new respect for Neil and Bill. I was terribly disappointing that Brian was not more involved.
Neil is a Hollywood Scientist, Showmanship. He is the reason why more people are watching science shows.
something utterly necessary for the end of ignorance, is faces to watch with good things to say! yay neil
Neil can do astrophysics calculations, can you?
Now as Skarloe said, if your seconds sentence is the essential part of your sentence, then yes, that is exactly correct. But IF you are suggesting that he's is whatever way less intelligent for reaching out to people, you should know he graduated Harvard with a full scholarship for all 4 years. That alone is enough. I don't think I need to go over everything else.
This was amazing, I was smiling and giggling the whole time. As these people were inspired to pursue science by the scientist that came before them. To me these people are my inspiration, the reason why my major is physics.
36:28 i think richard dawkins is sending morse code by blinking at the camera
Tyson doing a Chomskian analysis here, dismantling myths and in a funny way. Love the entire panel and discussion.
You really have to love the American levity, and Richard is enjoying it too.
40:18 he might have said this a little early but it hits really hard right now
-for those in the future it’s five months into the 2020 quarantine
'People think that you have to be a mathematical wizard to be a physicist... much less an engineer' that was savage as fuck!! I was laughing so hard, that was such an underrated burn!
33:20 -- Priceless!
I have to say though, Neil is a bit too enthusiastic throughout this event...
13:35 One of the most brilliant moments in the history of science debate
9:20 RIchard's face after the comment about republicans is just priceless
At what point in life could you ever imagine you'd see Neil deGrasse Tyson stand up angrily (all in good fun of course) to "attack" Brian Greene and then Bill Nye has to hold him back so Greene could get free shots in on Neil. With a *quiet* Richard Dawkins looking on to all of this (notice my emphasize on quiet).
Loved this panel, I've seen thousands of cumulative hours on these guys giving speeches, debates, and talks and I've read quite of few of their books... and although this was no where near as informational as these great minds could provide I loved that you really got to see the personalities, the humanness if you will, of these individuals in this video.
And Tracy Day is hot! Nothing like a beautiful intelligent woman. I'm all for more women involved in the sciences!
Bill Nye: "To that I got to say like, oh wow."
"Am I like thinking or am I just I'm thinking... wow."
Takes a 'hit.' XD
Favorite moment 13:35
I didn’t want this to end!!! Just keep talking and sharing your knowledge!!!
