      One can tell Larry is genuinely scarred of death, just the way he's inquiring about it, instead of looking at all his accomplishments in his life-time to be passed down to his kids. Neil is right, we're here for a relatively short amount of time, so we should use that opportunity to accomplish as much as possible for the betterment of humanity.

      No, God is amazing. The universe is just revealing that fact. Dude can't even explain the most basic fundamental problem with our existence. Something cannot come from nothing. This truth traced back far enough reveals that there must be something that is eternal. An unmoved mover. Otherwise, the very laws of physics that Neil studies crash under the weight of their impossibility. After all, a law that governs nothing is no law at all. Yet, we are here. And we are here because of an amazing eternal God. Pretty simple, yet this "genius" is too prideful to state the obvious and therefore has to make a joke to divert attention off the fact that no worship of science will ever be able to solve or prove how something can come from nothing. Love his intellect and charm, and he's great at educating folks based off what he "knows", but when the simplest equation can't be solved I can't trust your deductive reasoning that follows.

      @Be Informed There you have it... Afterlife... Beyond life... When life has end it... So until here it's pretty much simple but let's take it further... Whatever the opinion is probably our doubt or believe isn't about afterlife but instead about "Can we keep our conscious?" Well that brings into play one of the most intrinsic anguish "Loss" ... To be alone... By the way we're people because we can relate with each other. If we were alone since we born we never had become people. The universe doesn't cares at all about us! It's we that cares about the universe... So instead of a egocentric eternity (history and science already show us many times how wrong we were about that) that steals our humanity maybe we start to appreciate life and all it's beauty understanding ending as part of a process... Springtime is near... What it will happen with the flowers!?

      The argument of Uncaused cause: 1. “Something” exists. 2. 2. This “something” either:
      A: Caused itself to exist.
      B: Was caused to exist by another.
      C: Has always existed
      3. But nothing can cause itself to exist, so if it was caused to exist, then it was caused by another.
      4. There cannot be an infinite series of causes because without a First Cause there would be no subsequent causes.
      5. Therefore, there must be a First Cause which is Uncaused.

      Scientists did brain scans on dead people after 24hr and found brain waves still active in the brains like they were still alive. Alot of question for sure but I truly believe when we die its extremely euphoric and relaxing because all of the chemicals in your brain get released, that's a rush in a half if you think of it and if it's like that, that's ok.

      Repetition helps being a great orator. I've been watching his videos by dozens, he does tend to repeat a certain number of pre-made sentences or constructs. It sounds like he's producing it live, but he actually knows he's going to use this or that 'wow' sentence one after the other. It has a wow effect but it's almost 'rehearsed'. Still love him and his work to pieces.

      It couldn’t have escaped Larry that his own transition was near and it may well be why he slotted in a session with Tyson. But I have a nagging sense that the astrophysicist’s take on the whole thing, seeing that he - typical of the far majority of scientists - gives short shrift to consciousness, has proffered an incomplete view.

    I was in Soest West Germany when I was 9 fighting with the Krampus over the sandbox. Our mission was a 3-year peacekeeping tour in a country that hated us. We had to fight our way in and out of that war-torn country.
    We were known as the Canadian Army Brats and told to never come back.
    I fought for my life and the rights I deserve.

    i love Tyson, but i Really love how good of an interviewer Larry King is, he let's us really get into the minds of his guests, knows what to ask, when to keep quiet & fantastic follow ups to really pick the brains of the people he's interviewing. Who better than Neil!

    You have so many followers Neil because you have a good way of explaining things that have serious depths in a way that is understandable to us idiots while hitting just enough depth to make it interesting and still understandable. Like Brian Cox does too.

    My husband was a nuclear physicist and I asked him more than a few times why he chose that..He said that he wanted to know how the universe works!!! very simple..he had questions about the universe that physics could answer.

    This is by far the best Neil deGrasse Tyson interview I’ve watched.

    Since the 70's I realized that I will I will never have an afterlife so I always wanted to be cremated. Now Neil made a great point about not wasting my body and returning it to the ecosystem. I now want to be buried in an open grave with no casket to help feed the organisms that will ingest me and continue the cycle of life on Earth.

      I stand in awe of someone who can mangle the English language so badly, but still convey so clearly and accurately what needs to be said!
