Hugo Romanelli English clearly isn’t his first language. Give him a little leeway on the grammar. Unless that leads to a deeper question? Maybe if you’re an immigrant it would be something you should know naturally, especially as a college student, so Oscar might not actually be an immigrant.
You should bring Fareed Zakaria back! I hadn't heard of him before watching this, but his words had me captivated. I'd love to hear his perspective on other topics too!
I loved the topic, very interesting and even though I'm not American it's nice to hear different opinions on politics and immigration. I really like Chuck Nice as a comedy co host, he doesn't interrupt when the guests are talking about something important and his jokes are not annoying. I feel he is a good complement to Dr Tyson ^^
I’m reminded of this very fact whenever someone else is the co-host when Chuck is off doing something else. No one is as complimentary to the show as chuck.
Hey Neil, just starting the video but I'd like to say its not just America you're making smarter. Im Indian and have been learning a great deal from your books/podcasts/shows daily. Much love, keep up the good work. Hope you can continue to inspire young minds, just like mine, in the passion of teaching and learning about science and our cosmos.
WW Entertainment has a segment of fans rather young when compared. To ear Star Talk you must have certain level of culture, a certain interest in multi-cultural and avid search for for the most recent sciences, investigations discoveries and new artistic plus technology tendencies. It's rather weird to try to compare and infer those implications on society in global way. No?
I know this is anecdotal example, but I came to this country worked as a dishwasher, busboy, server, lifeguard and construction. Once I was able to save enough money to go back to school I got my degree in mechanical engineering from UMD. Making America smart again.
Neil degrasse Tyson for POTUS 2020! A "celebrity" that is universally admired/respected/loved by anyone listening to him speak. He really could help make America Smart again if he had more power and influence.
Thank you for all that you do! My kids love to watch and learn. Science is FUN, science is AMAZING! And I love the look on my children's faces when my kids realize that there's more to this life than what we see in front of us. They are listening, they are learning. My daughter is in Jr. High and had no passion for the sciences until I introduced her to you. And for that I Thank YOU!!
I love watching people like Neil and Bill talk about physics. It fascinates me, but it's nothing like physics in school. I have a teacher that's killed my passion for physics. Should I take up physics in college regardless? Will my passion come back and is it worth it?
Christopher Judge there are a lot of good books which you can buy for learning physics, like Resnick halliday for your fundamentals or read the Feynman lectures online
Christopher Judge I think a basic education in science, especially physics, is essential for someone to have a rounded education. The fact you ask if the passion may come back means you once had it. One bad teacher is all it takes to put any student off of a subject that could have been enjoyable and rewarding. It is a shame that modern education in schools is often taught by people that have only been taught to teach but know nothing about the subject they are assigned to teach. I cannot imagine a music teacher that knew nothing about music or a language teacher that did not know how to speak the language they are supposed to be teaching to be worth learning from. Sadly many teachers have a liberal arts background and a teaching certificate and end up teaching math and science. I am not denigrating a liberal arts education, but let them teach English or history or social studies and get someone with a background and training in the subject they teach. I have had many friends who were teachers and many of them thought that being trained to be a teacher qualified them to teach anything. Many a dinner table discussion got quite heated about this.
Do your research and find a college/university where the physicists are researching something you find interesting and where physics is appreciated, and you'll be rewarded 100-fold. Don't let one bad teacher discourage you! Good luck!
If you have a passion for physics - and a bad teaching teacher doesn't eliminate the passion, just covers it up - then you already have the best prerequisite for studying it. Once inside of your homework assignments and learning abstract stuff that you only half understand having the passion for physics is what keeps you going. That's at least how it was (is) for me. Whenever the equations start to form a loop, you see something in there suddenly that you saw before and suddenly there is this overwhelming understanding of how things connect together and stuff starts to make sense... That's when you are rewarded and for this passion is necessary. It sure is worth it - if you do have the passion. However if you are fascinated and captivated when Neil talks physics, then you still have it. So yea - go ahead! :-) (Also, you have to at least not hate maths. If you do, then think about it some more, however I doubt someone fascinated by Neil is hating maths. And with maths I mean real maths, i.e. functions, equations and stuff and not calculating a number.)
The problem is (or is it a problem ?), students now also want a good quality of life. I've seen that, they don't just want to go somewhere and work like crazy to help their family back home. Now their family has money (especially Chinese and Indian students) and so they also want to enjoy life. So they don't just come to the best universites. They also want to see France, England, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Canada... where they know the pace is much more relaxed, where you don't have to work weekends, where it doesn't take you 5 or 6 years to get your PhD (it's 3 in most countries). And the ones that want to work their ass off can stay in their home countries. I mean top American universities are either in boring surroundings (Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, University of Michigan...) or in cities that are insanely expensive, too expensive for students (New York, San Francisco...). Wouldn't you rather spend less in cities like Montreal, Grenoble, Strasbourg, Edinburgh, Stockholm, Madrid, Paris, Melbourne, Auckland, and have so many things to do and visit outside work ?
As a Hispanic, it is sour to hear our immigrants mentioned in relation to washing dishes or doing laundry. It is true, though. Hispanics must master English, increase numbers in top science and corporate boards, file advance IP, and start innovative enterprises. We are dramatically underrepresented in those circles.
I like how so many of the public scientists state plainly that they want American science. Like Isaac Asimov he had a ton of hope for the ideals of the United States.
Thanks for watching! We've got a few full episodes up on UA-cam, and a bunch more on StarTalkAllAccess.com. Also - all of our episodes are available as audio on the podcast! UA-cam full episodes: ua-cam.com/play/PLnaXrumrax3X8_6L1yL3cejSMH9oTpxiI.html
i wish this conversation would get superbowl level viewership. what an important discussion connecting reasons, motivations, ambitions, and results of human technological progress with root cause immigration, sociology and geo-politics by two intellectuals who know what the hell they're talking about.
Regarding the last question & discussion, one question i like to pose: "What does one fear most, the known or the unknown?" Most people will reply with "the unknown", which is incorrect. The unknown cannot be feared for one does not know what there is to fear, it's a void which if we're trained to will attempt to square the circle by filling it with their known. Yes, it's a "thank you capt. obvious", but our individual reactions are from the training we receive throughout life that puts us at a dichotomy of either having our emotions dictate or inform us. The question i pose, is an easy way of informing an individual where they stand with their emotional self, and perhaps opens the doorway for change and their own personal growth.
Always be wary of people who tell you don't listen to or watch somebody... instead they should insist you watch them just to prove their point is correct...
Great Episode!! Always great to get insight from interesting dialog. Good job fellas. I've always wondered about the collaborative scientific effort of the human race, could we even manage a feat of team work so massive?
You know you've been doing something wrong when in the 21st century US you need to explain the advantage of science and openness to other cultures. I understand the pun behind the title "Let’s Make America Smart Again" but I'm not so sure if that is the way of getting the people that really need to listen to this, to listen to it!
Wonderful wonderful talk! It is sad though the "assault on expertise and knowledge" is universal. It is the same if not worse here in China. I think we both have a failed education system at home, just like Neil mentioned in his earlier twitter.
I like the idea, but the implementation is going to be very hard. We are fast approaching the point where the machines that we design and build are smarter and clearly very very very much quicker than us poor slow humans. Thus the task of making America smart again is going to be a hairs width away from impossible. Maybe we should understand where we are heading and figure out a new social system to take that into account.
Anyone who has an issue with politics being factored into this episode of Startalk please go to 31:15 of the video were they focus specifically on this question.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” “I appeal to all our citizens,” the colonel said, “no matter from what land their forefathers came, to keep this ever in mind, and to shun with scorn and contempt the sinister intriguers and mischiefmakers who would seek to divide them along lines of creed, or birthplace or of national origin.” “The effort to keep our citizenship divided against itself,” the colonel continued, “by the use of the hyphen and along the lines of national origin is certain to a breed of spirit of bitterness and prejudice and dislike between great bodies of our citizens. If some citizens band together as German-Americans or Irish-Americans, then after a while others are certain to band together as English-Americans or Scandinavian-Americans, and every such banding together, every attempt to make for political purposes a German-American alliance or a Scandinavian-American alliance, means down at the bottom an effort against the interest of straight-out American citizenship, an effort to bring into our nation the bitter Old World rivalries amd jealousies and hatreds.” Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Not ALL who go to the US go there bcoz they were persecuted in their native countries. Many, esp from India, go to the US for the lure of the $. others may be due to education with end goal being to settle in the US. When the US went into recession from 2008 onwards after Lehmann, LOTS of Indian Americans went back in droves to India mainly for the financial reasons along with the hype of India being a fast growing economy.
Possibly, one reason that India has such a problem keeping talented scientists and other professional people is because the country suffers from an extremely burdensome bureaucracy. Just a thought; does anyone agree?
The nations of the world should work together to develop the best space stations and explore the galaxy/universe. Have the rare metals and resources gathered pay for the program and mine asteroids/ planets safely & respectfully as a representation of the best earth can humanely do so
There are so many intelligent people that get blocked now because of selfish and narrow minded gatekeepers. Changing policies for the worse that reward opportunist and drive out value. We dumb down everything now. Make it cheap and devalue purpose and place. I will even question the motives of interests from other countries affecting our infrastructure to break down what has proven to be one of our most valued assets. The ability to make breakthroughs and advances by way of independent thinking.
preemptive reply: The fact that Dr. Tyson is comfortable adopting the phrase in a joking manner, is evidence (maybe I'm the only one needing validation here) that regular people do not actually believe the phrase "Make America Great Again" is some sort of dog whistle. Hope the explains the context as to why I felt any need to force a political reply towards anybody. Especially in community such as this, where I depreciate political conversation, I hate to be the one to bring your attention to this line of thought. In my opinion though, it's worth acknowledging these moments.
12:59, Neil is saying an idealistic thought: tax payers do get the "upside", if and only if those companies that have been funded/helped by the government in order to exist, *_do_* pay their share then after (rather than profit even more from tax breaks), *_and_* jobs are created by that company _in_ the country rather than let them offshore their manufactures in another country (so that there are more tax payers having valuable jobs), in order to make this "system" sanely function in equilibrium (in that sense we should go back to that part of Keynesian economics regarding governmental regulations). Currently, that's not what's happening, at least as it is with the financial Globalist neolliberals at the helm! Let's be realistic.
highlander723 1) he would leave in the middle of conversation because he will know he will be losing. 2) he won't understand anything (almost literally) what Neil will explain him. 3) what he says is right but the way he is trying to achieve those claims are extremely wrong.
Yes, Trump will obliterate him, with ignorance, stupidity, narcissism, petulance, verbal abuse, egotism, arrogance, and did I mention stupidity and ignorance?
In order to debate Trump you would first need to agree on a common set of facts to debate. I doubt that Tyson's understanding of Reality; which is relatively stable and doesn't change without evidence is compatible with Trump's; which is made up of Alternative Facts that change whenever he speaks. It would be like any interview with a Trump Surrogate, The answer avoids the question. Trumps version of winning involves Shouting "Na Na Na Na" very loudly while plugging your ears.
correcting Fareed Zakaria: 12:40 he states government lend money to Tesla and they take all the risk, but none of the upside.. This is not true not in the case of Tesla. You can either do a loan or stake in a company. Tesla got a loan on the same level as Ford and GM. Tesla repaid the government loan with full interest and taxpayers made 25Million on the loan.
It saddens me that Doctor Tyson doesn't even talk about his wife or kids. Or have her on his show like mothers day with his mother. Never his wife, never.
The USA, where we have best higher education and one of the poorest primary and seccondary school systems. Im surprised no one mentioned that these breeding grounds for intelligence are few and far between relative to the total amount and quality of schools here. with all of the for profit colleges, charter schools, and other ways our schools are unbalanced i can say we still have work to do.
I am a Honduran Immigrant. I am a physics major at the University of Maryland ! THIS EP was amazing
Bless you man!
you mean migrant. where you are now, they will see you as an inmigrant...
Hugo Romanelli English clearly isn’t his first language. Give him a little leeway on the grammar.
Unless that leads to a deeper question?
Maybe if you’re an immigrant it would be something you should know naturally, especially as a college student, so Oscar might not actually be an immigrant.
Hugo Romanelli
He’s Hondurian dumbass
But America is a continent
As the first generation American to a latin immigrant family; this segment gave me hope.
Thank you.

You should bring Fareed Zakaria back! I hadn't heard of him before watching this, but his words had me captivated. I'd love to hear his perspective on other topics too!
Fareed is small, Chuck is medium and Neil is large...evolution on display!

Hi Miss Helsic en China, love your interest in this topic! International solidarity in all things, a noble goal, yes?
I’m reminded of this very fact whenever someone else is the co-host when Chuck is off doing something else. No one is as complimentary to the show as chuck.

Neil and Chuck are a funny duo. Scientist plus Comedian is a fire mix.
You see..this is the kind of science show Carl would have been proud of...

more than doubled in a year, maybe there is hope?
89 people (at the time of this comment) don't want America to get smart again.
Loved the conversation hope more full episodes here in the future.
I know this is anecdotal example, but I came to this country worked as a dishwasher, busboy, server, lifeguard and construction. Once I was able to save enough money to go back to school I got my degree in mechanical engineering from UMD. Making America smart again.
Neil! I'm a big fan please keep fighting the fight for intellectualism.
Neil thank you for inviting Fareed...seeing/hearing both of you in discussion is great for your audience
Being a Spokesman and Wordwizard for Science is just as important as doing the science itself nowadays. You are CRUCIAL to the community, Neil!
1863 Neil, 1863. We all knew what you meant though. Loving the full length episode!
Another one coming tonight!
StarTalk Radio Yay!
I noticed that too lol. But It was a harmless mistake and yea we knew what he meant. I had to replay that to make sure I heard it right though lol.

I was so excited to see the length of the video!
Didn't notice until your comment. I hope this becomes a thing!
FULL EPISODE AHHHHHH
it only took over a year from the original air date. It is pretty cool still :D
It was nice to meet Tyson in Australia.
Ya know. Tyson looking pretty ripped lately man. Strong in mind and body 💪
I think maybe this is the quote NDGT was looking for: "One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea." Walter Bagehot
I love watching people like Neil and Bill talk about physics. It fascinates me, but it's nothing like physics in school. I have a teacher that's killed my passion for physics. Should I take up physics in college regardless? Will my passion come back and is it worth it?
Christopher Judge there are a lot of good books which you can buy for learning physics, like Resnick halliday for your fundamentals or read the Feynman lectures online
It really just depends if you are curious enough. Physics is NOT EASY, but if you work hard it WILL be worth it.
Christopher Judge I think a basic education in science, especially physics, is essential for someone to have a rounded education. The fact you ask if the passion may come back means you once had it. One bad teacher is all it takes to put any student off of a subject that could have been enjoyable and rewarding. It is a shame that modern education in schools is often taught by people that have only been taught to teach but know nothing about the subject they are assigned to teach.

Do your research and find a college/university where the physicists are researching something you find interesting and where physics is appreciated, and you'll be rewarded 100-fold. Don't let one bad teacher discourage you! Good luck!
If you have a passion for physics - and a bad teaching teacher doesn't eliminate the passion, just covers it up - then you already have the best prerequisite for studying it. Once inside of your homework assignments and learning abstract stuff that you only half understand having the passion for physics is what keeps you going. That's at least how it was (is) for me.

3:33 i hate to be picky but it was 1863
Incidentally, I was reading this comment when he said that.
Exactly the same thing came to mind when I heard it.. :-D..
Started and ended with a gaffe. Bumper gaffes. Lol

If politics was scientific there would be no parties. We'd just be smart enough to know the right decisions.

Superb interview.
i wish this conversation would get superbowl level viewership. what an important discussion connecting reasons, motivations, ambitions, and results of human technological progress with root cause immigration, sociology and geo-politics by two intellectuals who know what the hell they're talking about.
This is a perfectly reasonable discussion.
Lets make América Smart....for first time...the greatest scientist and intellectuals are from abroad... grettings from mexico
No matter who they are, Americans live their own country and only their own country.
Regarding the last question & discussion, one question i like to pose: "What does one fear most, the known or the unknown?"
Most people will reply with "the unknown", which is incorrect. The unknown cannot be feared for one does not know what there is to fear, it's a void which if we're trained to will attempt to square the circle by filling it with their known.

preemptive reply: The fact that Dr. Tyson is comfortable adopting the phrase in a joking manner, is evidence (maybe I'm the only one needing validation here) that regular people do not actually believe the phrase "Make America Great Again" is some sort of dog whistle.
Hope the explains the context as to why I felt any need to force a political reply towards anybody. Especially in community such as this, where I depreciate political conversation, I hate to be the one to bring your attention to this line of thought. In my opinion though, it's worth acknowledging these moments.
This isn't StarTalk. I'm in the wrong place anyway
Excellent conversation!
For all you haters: find somewhere else to spew your ignorance. This is a discussion for grown-ups...
I came here to watch someone interrupt every question he asks. I made a drinking game out of it.
Live in South Africa in Langebaan and I'm 25. Have to move to America I guess.
Neil for President 2020
Ummmmmmmmm has Neil bulked up I'm loving this
Who dislikes this? Someone who thinks US is smart already? Someone who doesnt want it to be smart?
12:59, Neil is saying an idealistic thought: tax payers do get the "upside", if and only if those companies that have been funded/helped by the government in order to exist, *_do_* pay their share then after (rather than profit even more from tax breaks), *_and_* jobs are created by that company _in_ the country rather than let them offshore their manufactures in another country (so that there are more tax payers having valuable jobs), in order to make this "system" sanely function in equilibrium (in that sense we should go back to that part of Keynesian economics regarding governmental regulations). Currently, that's not what's happening, at least as it is with the financial Globalist neolliberals at the helm! Let's be realistic.
35:45 *...ouch...*
43:19 “...if all the world...”
Two years later - Starlink: We’re getting there
i think the Wit you refer to, Neil, could be Will Rogers. i didn't google, so i could be wrong, but it sounds like his type of take.
star talk is the best thing my taxes ever paid for
Get trump on this show. He is the boss at the end of the level you need to beat, Neil. You have the stats now! You can take him!! #MASA
Free Diugh Trump will obliterate him
highlander723
1) he would leave in the middle of conversation because he will know he will be losing.
2) he won't understand anything (almost literally) what Neil will explain him.
3) what he says is right but the way he is trying to achieve those claims are extremely wrong.
Yes, Trump will obliterate him, with ignorance, stupidity, narcissism, petulance, verbal abuse, egotism, arrogance, and did I mention stupidity and ignorance?
In order to debate Trump you would first need to agree on a common set of facts to debate. I doubt that Tyson's understanding of Reality; which is relatively stable and doesn't change without evidence is compatible with Trump's; which is made up of Alternative Facts that change whenever he speaks.
It would be like any interview with a Trump Surrogate, The answer avoids the question.
Trumps version of winning involves Shouting "Na Na Na Na" very loudly while plugging your ears.
Nick;
Trump would make an interesting research project for a Forensic Psychiatrist.
correcting Fareed Zakaria: 12:40 he states government lend money to Tesla and they take all the risk, but none of the upside.. This is not true not in the case of Tesla. You can either do a loan or stake in a company. Tesla got a loan on the same level as Ford and GM. Tesla repaid the government loan with full interest and taxpayers made 25Million on the loan.
FN LN agrred but that's a separate issue, his point is that the deal between the government and tesla wasn't one sided
It saddens me that Doctor Tyson doesn't even talk about his wife or kids. Or have her on his show like mothers day with his mother. Never his wife, never.
The USA, where we have best higher education and one of the poorest primary and seccondary school systems. Im surprised no one mentioned that these breeding grounds for intelligence are few and far between relative to the total amount and quality of schools here. with all of the for profit colleges, charter schools, and other ways our schools are unbalanced i can say we still have work to do.
“Nor sure if you’re still practicing” said Fareed.
Why doesn't this have more "likes"?
