Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Military/Space Alliance Runs Deep
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2018
- The author of 'Accessory to War' describes his realization that, despite the tendency for members of the space sciences to lean anti-war, there has long been a connection between their field and the art of modern warfare.

I could listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson talk for hours.
you might enjoy Star Talk then :) ♥
You can, there's many, many hours of Neil online ^^
Watch his interviews on Joe Rogan's podcast. They go for 2.5 to 3.5 hours each
@Klara Stern
I was thinking the same thing bud!
get his audiobooks, he narates them himself
Neil deGrasse Tyson is Stephen's most entertaining and informative guest on his show!
bUH sNUH LMAO 🤣 Well Stephen is the Catholic though, I wouldn’t put that on the atheist
Agreed.
Daniel Miranda and also his favourite
His almost kid like excitement for science is contagious.
His opposition to war has "evolved" now that he's too old to be drafted.
“War is young men dying and old men talking”. ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
"OUR MOON IS 5X THE MASS OF PLUTO.. DID YOU KNOW THAT?!!" .. "Yes Neil, we argue about this a lot" lmaoo
War needs science, science does not need war.
But science needs the military. Because in the world we are living in this is where a lot of the money comes from. And scientists generally like to eat and sleep under a roof.
Science needs war to exist otherwise there would be no purpose to look at science
Without wars you wouldn't give scientists enough money to survive and work.
@Mike taerte - WHAT?! Are you nuts?! Dear lord, some people are so stupid.
Y'all mf's need jesus of Belen. He's a well respected psychiatrist.
A lot of comments about "could listen to Neil for hours": There is a show called Stark Talk... with Neil deGrasse Tyson... might be what you're looking for :)
Thank you so much for the information. I am googling it rn.
watched all episodes i am screwed i need my neil dosaage
It's because the comments are missing the final part "... but ain't nobody got time for that".
Klara Stern Check out Star Talk! My friend Stacey works on the production team. Prepare to have your mind blown... Awesome! 💫😎👍🏼
Yes, a TV show and a podcast. Most excellent both :)
PLUTO HAD IT COMIN'
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I love it when Neil talks nerdy to me.
Sceptical Pickle “talk nerdy to me”
We need a song called talk nerdy to me
me to its so hot
"A worse insult not stated"... WHAT a line... And in just a second... Love you Stephen.
Every time Neil comes on the show he provides me with an opportunity to look cool in front of my friends because I tell them the stories that he tells Stephen
Neil Degrasse Tyson is not only a genius, but also hilarious and an icon.
Stephens "Ho-hooooo" at 1:09 just made my day! 😂😂😂😂😍
The crowd goes "FIGHT, FIGHT"...
Man, how I miss Carl Sagan.
Whenever he speaks about Carl Sagan, it is clear that Neil feels the same. He lights up when he tells the tale about the thrill of meeting him as an adolescent. I think Carl would be very proud if he were alive today.
Neil desperately wants to be the successor to Sagan but he falls well short of that goal.
axnyslie, want to ellaborate on that? sick of these wannabe-clever-opinionated people.
Carl Sagan was an actual scientist who worked with NASA on the Mariner missions to Venus, the Voyager missions, and conducted research at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He has authored over 600 scientific papers now published in the library of congress, and a pulitzer prize winning author. He was editor in chief of Icarus, the leading professional journal devoted to planetary research, founded The Planetary Society, and considered one the the greatest orators in science education in mass media as well as being a professor at Cornell University.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a manager of a planetarium in a museum. He’s far more concerned with pop culture than science, obsessed with his celebrity status and Twitter followers. This is really evident on his celebrity show Startalk when he stammers through interviews constantly interrupting everyone. His speeches and publishings are dumbed down to elementary levels of science to appeal to social media dullards. So no, he does not come close to Sagan’s level.
I love Neil, but I agree with axnyslie that Tyson's fixation on pop culture and celebrity status and less fixation on the actual science puts him below Sagan. I do give Tyson props where it is due however his Cosmos series I think is actually better than Sagan's and I think Tyson is a better communicator than Sagan was, Tyson's fixation on pop culture and social media makes him one of the best scientific communicators there's ever been and that is important.
I don't think Sagan would ever be happy or accepting of the fact military funding is so used for science, it's misplaced values, highlighting that it is so common tho is important he just didn't speak against it much. Neil is no slacker in the science department either, but I feel Sagan has more integrity.

Neil “Degrassi: The Next Generation” Tyson.
Neil "The Grass" "War isn't always bad" [Mike] Tyson.
Niel "da grass" Tyson. Good shit.
The sad thing is my grandfather actually thinks Degrassi is his actual name. 😂
Neil "Startalk: The Next Generation" Tyson.
Chris Duffey It's his grandmother's maiden name which was given to him as a middle name. Am I missing a joke here?
man neil is always pure gold when he comes on stephens show. its such a pity that these clips are so damn short.
True celebrity right here. Informative, educative and entertaining.
Educational*
Who else heard the story on joe rogan
Ahmed Maqbool was thinking about where I heard him tell the story. Thx
here
Well he's promoting his book all over so you'll hear it even more.
Yo.
zhuull1, he says after he did that show, Joe Rogan questions everything, he realized there's nothing to back up the claims conspiracy theorists make... so he's admitting it.

I've watched this so many times, I've lost count. I love Neil and Stephen together. I rewatch all their interviews many times. I love the hour-long talk they had at a school. I could listen to them for hours. It's so sad that they can't together that often to record something ...
Neil's face when Stephen started talking about Pluto.
"I've never heard a worse insult not stated", epic! 🤩
I don't think there was ever an issue about defending yourself against a genuine threat. The issue has always been, how do you decide what is a legitimate threat, and who decides that, and how, and how much transparency should be involved; and how do you insure that this power isn't abused, for example, so that a politician can look tough during an election year. I know Dr. Tyson's just selling a book on a semi-frivolous talk show, and I'm sure the book itself is more nuanced, but still.
pkunkbwok well of course but understand that many if not most outspoken critics of war do not speak in nuance. Countless individuals treat war as an inexcusable occurrence regardless of context or reasoning
Well. I don't feel war is something you should enter into lightly or without serious consideration beforehand. I feel it should be avoided if there is any viable alternative. But sometimes it's just what you have to do.
@@pkunkbwok i agree with you. But sometimes how can you stop countries and gov from abusing their power and strength for wealth and more power. Yet again the victim countries would need to engage into war to protect themselves from the attacking govs. So really its a cycle. We need to shape ourselves. Stop the greed, and see other people as brothers and family and another individual from thr same species. Even if they differ in thinking and religion and ideologies. I come from a country that was occupied for many years and to this day still trying to occupy. We fought our way to freedom. Without war, we would have been under occupation and to this day, oppressed. So i fully understand the need for war, but wish it wasnt there.
I want him as my all subjects professor!
They should just turn this show into "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert & Neil deGrasse Tyson" ... 100% would watch every episode.
My dream is to have a long conversation with Neil Degrasse Tyson
I'm so happy to see all of his appearances on Colbert have almost 2 million views each. Makes me happy for humanity
As a scientist, I'm glad there are people like Neil who convey science to the general public in a festive way.
Please have him more often!!!
I love the two of them!! Stephen is the perfect person to interview Neil as he's such a science geek
"Pluto had it comin" - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"did you know? Bet you didn't" I can't
lol saw this on Joe Rogans podcast bout a month ago
"Pluto knows what it did" - probably Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The response after 6:56 was brilliant.
I love Stephen's new look!!!
God I could listen to him talk for hours and days and would die from dehydration because he is so mesmerizing to listen to
7:55 the problem with that "if bad people come, I'll defend myself" is: the other side is thinking the same thing.
There's no "right" side. There's "your" side.
I’ve always admired Neil Degrassi Tyson he is such a good communicator and certainly One happy chappy to have around. Watching his interview with Stephen Colbert you can’t be no none too impressed about the subject matter, so I went immediately to audible and purchased this latest book accessory to war.
I JUST LOVED watching Neil DeGrass Tyson give all that attitude about how Pluto should not be a planet. Lmbo
Always enjoy when Neil is a guest
How to Use Neil deGrasse Tyson in charades.
1: Get on your knees.
2: Mime running your fingers through the lawn.
3: Bite off someone's ear.
XD
I see what you did there.
😂
Genius
Now I need to wait for my sister to get home so I can try that heehee :P
This man makes my brain quiver with excitement!
The ONELY time i "like" before watching is your shows mr Colbert :)
I can listen to him 24 hours all year long
It amazes me how good Colbert is as a host. The man has perfected the damn artform.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is so entertaining in an educational way that is enjoyable and clear.
Lord I love listening to a smart man. He is soo interesting.
I would love to see Tyson and Cornell West in an interview together.
"You've out Neil'ed him" ... "There's a new Neil in town!"
Hit number 2 on the keyboard. That needs to become a new GIF and meme, someone make this wish come true!
I wish thus clip was longer
Neil always sounds so passionate when he talks. Makes it more enticing to listen to.
THANK YOU NEIL lol whenever ppl bring up christopher columbus i roll my eyes but that had an amazing twist
Pluto will always bee a planet in my heart
The Trident Missile I worked on in the Navy was guided by the stars, a new feature that improved its accuracy.
I, for one, am glad a scientist mapped Pitcairn Island, because without it the story of the Bounty would only be half as cool.
Also, Neil & Stephen together? NERDGASM.
That sounds like a book I’d like to read! I love that 💩!
Stephen you need my shirt that says " back in my day we had 9 planets " 😁
Yes!!
"I've never heard a worse insult not stated" is just the damn best
I feel like I should be taking notes during his interviews because the stuff he says is so interesting 😂
Stephen is really damn smart
Stephen is so much more fun when hes not talking politics
Amazing interview , always fun to listen to 👏
Gotta love it every time NDT comes on the show
Well, Captain Cook was a scientist but he was also an officer in the Royal Navy, so it was pretty clear what he was up to. He learned cartography as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy.
NDT is an easy interview - just get him started then sit back and let the stories flow. 😁
Lol I love how ruffled his feathers get about Pluto. He’s hilarious.
Man! I have such a long shopping list for when i go to Barnes & Nobles sometime this week 📝💸
"The moon has 5x the mass of Pluto, bet you don't know that.." boom! Only Neil can make bragging about science sounds cool
Space Force could have been a good idea if they focused on economics: capture a small metal-rich asteroid, precision drop it onto the Mojave ... we'd all be rich.
AvangionQ womp womp
@1:05 "the noun is fully implied" 😄😄😂 elegantly BURNED.
what is the noun?
Chris Tian tbh, coming back to watch that clip: I am😂not sure what it was.
Just funny banter.
What a legend. So knowledgable and so informative :)
I´ve always been interested in space and all that has to do with space, but every time I watch any interviews with Neil deGrasse Tyson in them, I´m like: ”SPACE IS EVEN COOLER THING THAN I IMAGINED!”
War. What is it good for?
*Obama in 2002:* "I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics."
*t'rump in 2019:* "To deflect attention away from my impeachment. So, who can I bomb?"
*Obama in 2013:* Let's fund and arm jihadists in Syria based on emotions and not logic, 2014 ISIS spawns.
"To deflect attention away from my impeachment. So, who can I bomb?"
...it's Canada, isn't it. darn it
Theodoяe Kяap Wow, what a simplistic, watered-down view of the Syrian conflict. You make it sound like the US gave weapons directly to ISIS, which is false. We did arm the FSA and opposition forces in Syria, and when they were beaten by ISIL, they took their weapons. But that's a far cry from "let's fund and arm jihadists."
Simplified is the only way the conservitard base can get even the slightest idea of what went on, though. Making it simple, black and white, and easy to pin on an obvious target like a Clinton or Obama is the way to go for them. They had a hand in it so obviously that means they physically went there and handed out weapons to isis. You can't talk about people being just bad, they need to be portrayed as silly comic book villain bad.
Ro G war, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
Ooooh Niel....what a nerd...I love it, love his passion, it's so enticing!!!
Fascinating.
"Traditional sciences"? What does he mean by that? Astronomy was part of the quadrivium and also a major field in ancient greece. It doesn't get much more traditional than that.
In fact, IIRC, chemistry - which he does consider traditional - didn't become its own thing for a long time.
notthere83 - He should have said “applied sciences,” I suppose, but it’s nothing to get worked up over.
This man’s enthusiasm exhausted me...
Same. It was almost as if he was on coke...
Dude must really like space.
knowledge is POWER .
I like the song at the end!!!
When NdT talks about science being in bed with the military, and war not being a bad thing, he's also talking about himself, as he currently sits on an advisory board of the military.
Yes, it's true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Innovation_Advisory_Board
But if you the other ones are the bad guys is ok to go to war- NDT
People admire actors but i think we should admire people like him ...................,
I loveeeee Stephen’s reactions! :)
The book is 408 pages of text, 126 pages of notes on the text, referenced by small superscript numbers in the text. The balance is selected sources and index.
He wrote it with Avis Lang, a research associate at Hayden Planetarium. She has edited previous work by Dr. Tyson.
I've read about 50,pages and it reads well. The first couple of chapters have a lot of historical background. I think I will enjoy this.
Neil has built up a ton of credibility with me over the years for always being intelligent and thoughtful, so I'm willing to engage with his ideas about war. I don't think I agree with them, but because he has a history of saying things that are logical and thoughtful, I will at least entertain him on this. As opposed to, say, almost everyone else who likes to talk politics by yelling their predictable, biased opinions at me.
Neil needs to cut back on the caffeine asap
I think this is natural!
This is a natural high that happens when you're impassioned and a total nerd about something .. or many things, and your brain is functioning at 100 mph when talking about it. Totally normal yet uncommon.
He’s probably on modafinil or adderall or vyvanse
This is totally the way I get when I talk about my work (biology).
Then I slow for a sec and see I’m the only one that excited and things get weird 😬
Bruh, Neil talks about Pluto like he's in the barber shop talking bout nba players. How can u not love that
absolutely true..i love Neil Degrasse and still watch his 6 lectures on netflix 6 years running now.. i want the new book too...
NDT is national treasure
It stress me a little bit how his mouth try to catch up with the speed of his brain process
Good statement of description of super intelligent people.
Fascinating!!!!!
I genuinely hope Tyson getting militaristic is a sign of things to come.
Your satellites aren't under immediate threat, a space force will only induce such threats by causing an arms race... just as I thought humanity was growing up
I don't see why Neil Tyson's gotta diss "kumbaya" like, okay, sometimes war is necessary. Sometimes a prostate exam is necessary, I'm not going to go around singing its praises. Seems like Neil researched a bunch of scientists participating in wars throughout time and felt left out or something.
Definitely.. it seems like he is priding in his knowledge and excellence. It's a bit scary to hear these types of statements coming from him as he ages & this all may simply be a fight or flight response. Historically it's a trend for great scientists to naturally be confronted when it comes to warfare but I miss the "you are the universe & the universe is inside you" altruistic Neil. If he's going down this road I like to think he is coming from an angle of defense rather than militaristic offense. I always love hearing these two converse though & the amount of time they had together this round was far too brief
I mean Neil's last words were about going to war reactively, however going to war means going on the offensive, there is no such thing as a only defensive war. There will come a time where certain ideologies are worth going to wars for (fascism and communism during ww2) and the enemy will not stay down or take a step back for peace talks, you will not have a choice but to go to war, or submit to their wishes. Although these ideologies may not be relevant to the victims of the war, some would argue it's for the future or for the rest of the world. That is what Neil thinks of going to war, but the reality could be far from it. Almost every war the US is engaged in the past 2 decades were fueled by monetary and resources purposes. Money makes the world function, wars build industries, wars provide a monetary income, wars win you a position of superiority over trade and resources. It's almost impossible to rid the world of war or for the US to wash its hands clean, when the worlds status quo is solely built on US' military superiority.
Nice, a defense of the military industrial complex...
@@futurestoryteller I do not condone the military industrial complex in any shape or form, I was just merely stating facts. To rid the world of war is no easy task, it is not something you can uproot with one pull as its effects is spread far and wide. War is a big part of human history and it will continue to be one. The fact that the 'peace' US is building is built upon the threat of their military might and violently removing their enemies is enough proof to that.
Very Informative, also very exhausting. I need to catch my breath real quick... *whew* ...alright I'm back in there.
Terrific
wtf is he talking about with physics not being known to be weaponized? Half of my physics 1 class was all about rockets and projectiles, and calculating their trajectories and velocities.
He said astronomy, not physics.
He didn't say that at all.
It's totally naive to believe that the US would only use its military power legitimately and ethically. Just look at the history and at the current administration. Of course, when there are 'bad agents' operating, you want to defend yourself and kick their ass. But the US is sometimes the 'bad agents' itself. So either is Neil deGrasse Tyson naive, or he is selfish and only cares about his won security, and it doesn't matter what the US does with its military somewhere in the world, as long as the US wins.
I'm not saying that all wars were bad or unnecessary - it was right to fight fascism during ww2, but there are better solutions to secure peace than weapons. The future of mankind can't be built on arms race.
I don't see much loss to get to the moon some years later, but the thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons are keeping hunting us.
Tun Huang you missed the point entirely. War is sometimes the answer. That’s a simple fact of the world. There are times when direct force must be applied for the protection of that which deserves protection. The only naive statement here is your assertion that there is always an answer that doesn’t involve violence. Oftentimes there are peaceful solutions. But oftentimes there are not.
wow, good interview
It is a new Neil..glad you said that at the end of your segment. Never have I heard him be so.. open about things that which are best left untold.
