He's like a small child. He gets so excited, about everything. He loves his profession.
Small minds always focus on the person not the info 👍😊
He's so rude tho
@@ant870 indeed
@@uusa you are in no position to judge neil after insulting someones intelligence due to them complementing neil for childish characteristics.
I guess small minds think alike 👍
i would actually like physics if he was my teacher
Its not physics you dislike, if you think you would like it with him teaching. You should try to learn by yourself for example using Khan Academy
Alda Keza asa former teacher i have to say that science can be interesting if we werent forced to teach so much content required by the state. It is more the volume you have to teach rather then how you want to teach.
mk17173n I love science and I know almost everything I'm learning in school and it's so boring. Our teacher takes a week to teach something that can be taught in 10 minutes.
its cause most kids are dumb.
Well.. yeah.. but then you can go to a university to learn with actually smart people. The first schools are for general knowledge on many subjects
Neil: People would be flying out of windows at 800 mph due East.
2020: Hey I just got the craziest idea
NOOOOOOOOO
LOL

Why did I get an ad with Neil degrasse Tyson before this vid, that’s trippy
Lakehouse 160 same dude 😂
The Dank Light y’all also get the ad where he teaches a class on how you should think? 😂
Lakehouse 160 fr dudet

This dude answers questions with every particle of his being
That’s why he’s so interesting
LOLLL. One of the funniest replies
@Mr Hansen lol please explain then.
@Mr Hansen Are you trolling?
@Mr Hansen Read you loud and clear. Lol
Larry King: Lemme just read this question, and I don't give a damn what you have to say.
Right! I can't stand when interviews are like this. You know who you're bringing onto your show. Give us someone asking the questions who are just as passionate!
Yeah this is quite a boring interview but with neil tyson it makes it more entertaining
@@joncena4538 no lies detected! I will literally listen to him teach ANYTHING!
this is an edited version of the real interview I would recommend watching the full interview link in his description. Larry King asks a lot more questions and theres actual conversations about the topics.
Larry King's interviewing skills were mediocre at best. He once had a guest from a zoo who brought along a variety of animals. The indifference and boredom he felt was blatantly on display, incredibly rude and unprofessional.
One thing I love about Neil deGrasse Tyson is the way he cracks himself up. You can tell he really enjoys science.
Imagine jus laying down then fly across your room at 800mph
Lmao
Won’t even know it happen
Instant Human smoothie with blood n guts
Faster than a bullet in my head but cheaper
At 800 mph..?? Imagine this...It happens and you don't even know it. Parts of what is indistinguishable as being anything of you will be traveling at 800 mph through whatever is surrounding the environment you were in prior..
Just hope I’m not on the toilet when this happens
LMBO
Pointless to talk about it since there's no reason it will ever happen
@Diamond Bourne we don't need to know about your brain.
at that speed you are either going through your wall, or becoming a paste in half a second.
I was actually in the toilet and I thought the same.
If the earth stopped rotating for a second. My ex wife would still think the world revolved around her.
God damn..
Quite brilliant sir!

Monday again... oh no... let's stop earth for sec :-D
Space Anteater I love anteaters. I got to feed a giant anteater a few months ago
Larry: I don't know what you just said. I'll just hit you with another question
I love how he explain everything in words and examples so everybody understands. I could listen to him for hours!
I'm sure if he held up alot of pictures all of you would be even more interested.

My brain: he's doing a kamehameha wave

Yes. That was my first thought 🤣

Or Garlic Gun.
😁😁😁😁
*larry king the whole interview*
"What is this guy saying?"
*NDT brings up Tops*
King: "I LOVE TOPS"
KZ3fps Think of how old Larry King is. When he was a kid stuff like tops and marbles were what kids would play with. It wouldn't be surprising if the retained some affection for them as an old man.
KZ3fps lol'd
My thoughts exactly XD
It's a jewish joke you fools not a old man joke. Geesh!
He's too old to give a shit.
The person who asked about the poles was really probably talking about the magnetic field flip.
I think so, too. I wonder if Tyson was just being stubborn because the questioner didn't specify...
I'm pretty sure he ment that. And magnetic poles are known to have flipped few times already in the past. I don't remember the numbers, but I think the last one was long ago enough that the next one could be pretty soon.
I came looking for this comment. Thank you
I'm really glad you pointed that out. When I was watching him I was just thinking, "I'm not as smart you, but I'm pretty sure they do flip."
That's part of the problem, someone talked about the magnetic poles flipping, and people thought the actual poles flipped
What if I was on the North or South Pole? :>
Earth's rotational axis is about 23.5 degrees which means it is tilted that amount. That is how we get seasons as we travel around the sun. It is not straight up so while the speed of, as he says New York at it's latitude is about 800mph, the speed at your latitude on the poles would be less than that but, not zero so hold on to your snickers...
@@FATillery Hmmm... But there would still be 2 spots somewhere on the planet where's the current axis, right? Would you spin around if you stood in that place? ;>
@@ThatMadCat No. If you stood on the extreme most northern point of the Earth, you actually would be leaning because of the rotational axis. It is like the spinning top that Mr. deGrass Tyson mentioned. Yes there is a center point on that top but it's rotational axis carries that center point in the same number of degrees as the top is rotating which in the case of Earth is 23.5. This is a difficult concept to see without a physical example but in the end, there is not 'true' top of the Earth where you would not be affected by the rotational axis of 23.5 degrees. Some planets like Mars can have a rotational axis that extends 30 or more degrees. Uranus has an almost 90 degree rotational axis and it looks like it is rotating on it's side. I do not know how to demonstrate it with words but if you study the subject and hopefully some videos, perhaps you would understand.
@@FATillery I think I get it, thanks for the lesson, haha.
@@ThatMadCat Let's just hope the Earth does not stop spinning at least not quickly. If it did so slowly over a period of decades or more, we would survive and adapt.
I didn't realize this video was 6 years old until he said that the Voyager left the solar system a few weeks ago😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ikr the quality is AMAZING 🤣
i didn’t realise this video was 6 years old till i saw this comment
damn, i still remember that news. cant believe it was in 2013
Voyager never left the Solar System. It is still well within the Solar System; it hasn't even reached 1/100th of the way between the Earth & the Oort Cloud.
It's a lie.
I don't grasp everything that hes saying, but I could listen to this man talk all day.
jscriber100 For someone that has Bruce Lee as your profile picture. I would think you would know, you can learn anything you want. The world is great with vast amounts of information.
He has a podcast btw.
That’s probably why you could listen to him all day
Had the exact same thought
Mike M shut up flat earthner
Rest In Peace Larry King 👑🙏🏽
One thing I appreciate about this man is that he explains things in science that I normally wouldn’t understand .in a way my feeble mind can understand lol
This got me thinking. If you where standing in an flat open field (salt flats) and you jumped just before the earth stopped you would end up flying relitive to the surface at 800mph but if you did it right the earth would start spinning to match speed again as you landed and you would be unharmed yet having traveled over 1000ft due east.
edit: just timed myself jumping and I managed a hang time of .76 seconds, not quite enugh... maybe someone more athletic than me could do it.
😣🔩 p*** p***
In your case then you would fly for a little bit then come down for a horrible crash.
I click on a random comment and you have 1.3 million subscribers
use a trampoline
I'm pretty sure if you were in a car going 800mph and it suddenly stopped, wearing a seat belt would not save you.
But you'd fly out in neat shaped chunks
But if u were driving a car at 800 miles an hour due west then you would be fine
same reason superman would injure most of his rescue if he just catch them in the mid of falling
I'm pretty sure if we was moving you would feel it or see it somehow
@@freemind1923 circular motion has center leaning gravitational force (thats why we are not thrown out of the planet at 800 mph (also gravity has some part to do) but on train you are moving parallel (theory is sometime like that i forgot the exact words)
He does mention "anything not bolted down", but yeah, buildings, cars, bodies of water, and I would suspect, even land masses, to a degree, would violently shift due east. Interesting to know if mountain ranges could withstand the sudden shift in momentum.
One of my favorite interview from Larry. RIP to the Legend. The King Of Talk.
This isn’t true. The world stops every morning that my wife can’t find her keys or cell phone. Haven’t seen one person fly out of a window except her in my dreams.
Classic Husband and Wife jokes..
How funny. :/

Lol
Tom Foolery, the shame you must feel. The tide-pod eating, flat-earth believing generation thinks you’re lame.
It actually speaks for the education system that I learnt more about science in 45 minutes of browsing Neil then the 5 years I spent at school.
If only I had a teacher this passionate who could make science this interesting.
Axeman K9 Neil is one in a million. He narrates and explains amazingly well and most teachers cant do that even though they try. that doesnt make them bad. the schooling system should however try to invite people like neil and bill nye to speak at schools once a year or something. or they can just show cosmos in schools
+Axeman K9 that would be much more powerful if you wouldn't have said Speak S
Anthony Brown Maybe I needed a better teacher.
Or you could actually pay attention, instead of loligagging
Some people require a teacher & some require Jesus, counselling or psychotherapy.

Wow, that was the most shortest and most informative video interview I've seen!! So far.
He's not just knowledgeable, he knows how to make it relatable and cool.
@NEGUS MBARKA you can't misinterpreted his words
In other words, he dumbs it down for us.
African and Proud honestly that’s how all things should be taught. Vocabulary is important but the overall concepts are much more impactful in my opinion. People like Neil can help the world understand how our universe works.
Agreed!
@@gloriyahboregah6384 The 1st step of understanding something is understanding it in simplified form. Get an intuition and then head on to actual complicated math and science terms.

***** no i just live in california
***** You sound angry.
***** Did you forget to take your medication today?
James And that my friend is a shame and a sin, a crime! In a public school in a less than ideal neighborhood in Chicago in the 60's, I was taught science, economics, literature, logic, and tons of other awesome stuff. We also had a music teacher, an art teacher, and a full time gym coach. The sad truth is that if you base a persons desires on what they spend their money on, which is usually a good indication of their intent imo. you could conclude that the powers that be WANT A DUMB BODY POLITIC! The cure is to stop voting for what is known as the right wing. An old time conservative like Eisenhower would run screaming from the likes of paul, cruz, rubio, bush, cheny gomert etc etc. We need to get them out and get people in who care about education and doing chores (infrastructure repair) and keeping the yard nice (state parks and waterways) and dusting (keeping the air clean) and progress so fund the sciences, but most importantly, we need people people who in their hearts want what is good for everyone of us according to our merit, and are smart enough to figure it out. So, whether you agree or not VOTE don't buy into the FALSE narrative that voting doesn't matter. Greedy uber rich guys who wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire spend billions of dollars a year trying to turn people off from voting. And, stunningly they admit it! It's time for the people to take back our GREAT LAND and the way we do it is VOTE! VOTE VOTE A THOUSAND TIMES VOTE.
Love how he just called all of the senators and all politicians as being the dumbest group on the planet.
Love watching this man talk about basically anything. Someone like this should be in the council of leaders for planet Earth once the concept of countries has been made obsolete.
That was one of the most concise, technically astute, and absolutely fucking hilarious scientific explanations I ever heard at the beginning. It was the vision of it and Dr. Tyson's deliberate pronunciation that made me laugh to tears about three or four times!

Man. I'm studying accounting too hahaha. Same here LOL
When Neil explains science on a not-barely highschool level, the subject is as dry as any other professor would teach. Explaining a stopping earth and it's effect isn't studying the sciences. It's like a trailer with all the cool scene's in the movie already present.

I got a master class ad with Neil tyson in it while watching this video 😂
Most surprising thing in the physics world is the fact that some do not find it fascinating.
Most people can not truly grasp it or have developed different interests from childhood. Average physics major in US has 125+ IQ. People of average intelligence settle for simpler journeys in life. I think the same thing some times but understand that naturally society will structurize itself mostly based on the interests and talents of individuals.
Most intelligent people are not interested in lies.

Larry king is such a boring interviewer. No engagement at all. Just question after question. His only response is “I love tops”
Nomen est omen. And character always comes in second.
next time give Neil a board with questions, oh wait there are shows that do that alrady xD, but u are right that mummy is bored af.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson for President!!!
President is a dumb people's job.
the position of president is not dumb just the people playing the roll as of late. We need smarter people that want to change the world for the better, not ones that just want to make there bank rolls bigger.The position of president should be a civil duty working for the interest of the people not there own personal interest & gains.
I think he'd have a decent chance of winning. Not sure how much he could acomplish though as president.
And bill nye for vice.
Stelum no. Bill should be the top guy for education. Give him real power over something. Steven Hawking could be VP.
Awesome questions
This dude has so much knowledge and they ask him that, and he gives an answer with all his energy, eith a good explanation, and the interviewer is like the Google Translator reading questions and giving boring answers, this is only watchable because of Neil
I think the shifting poles question was supposed to be about the magnetic poles.
"I love tops."

Me too. So far it's happened to me five times. I took a picture of every one.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a laudable successor of Carl Sagan in taking up the baton to popularize science in America today. Dr. Tyson has, through his enthusiasm and powerful convictions, inspired me to learn more about our cosmos. Speaking of the cosmos, his reboot of the Cosmos TV show is the best thing on TV right now. The very first episode in 1980 with Carl Sagan opened on a shoreline cliff and Dr. Tyson opened his first episode on the very same cliff which I took to be a fine homage to his predecessor and former mentor.
The fact that people are so interested in this type of thing just proves how wrong school system is
Indeed 👏
Has one of the most well known astronomers answering questions about space
Larry: *TOPS*
Neil just makes everything sound so much more simpler than any Physics teacher ever made it sound.
I have new respect for Larry King for interviewing my Idol. Neil Degrasse Tyson is by far the ultimate role model for children and adults. I have yet to discover another human being who has his combination of intelligence, charisma and witty sense of humor.
Krauss ain't that bad bro.

this video is amazing 😀

Nothing could actually cause the earth to stop rotating instantly, short of a collision with another planet. (and at that point, the collision would be worse than the stopping)
Larry seems so uninterested in Neils answers that it kinda makes me think that he doesn't deserve Neil as his guest. He doesn't react to his answers at all.
Well, he's old and he's........ uh... old.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT HIS "NATIONALISM"
It matters when one of the richest countries stops participating in said discoveries. The United States has a shit ton of wasted money and jobless people who could be directed towards science. He is from America, and so he of all people would feel the lack of funding and proper equipment.
Also it stimulates economy and makes money for said country, giving them wealth and power. Things America is also slipping in.
Science doesn't transcend national boundaries yet, and won't for a while. Nobody should know this better than America, with their nukes they dropped on Japan and military science they deploy all over the world. With the iPhone revolution. These things aren't absolutely global as of yet, only selectively. One day, we may all share science, and we do with a lot of projects, but we aren't right now.
But that all doesn't matter, it all comes back to my first point. As a scientist born, and working in America, he does not receive the funding or equipment, nor does he see enough students dedicated to science. From the second richest country and one of the most powerful on earth, that is shameful. We can afford to spend 680 billion dollars on military in one year, but could not finish a collider that would have only cost 17 billion dollars, which would have been bigger and more powerful than the one in Europe, and would have discovered Higgs back in the 90s.
It matters, because America held back the rest of the world almost 20 years in science. If not more, with that collider many other things might have been resolved or discovered by now.
On top of that, Nationalism and competition are still the largest driving forces of advancement(The space race), it's in our genetics to compete. And with one of the biggest players sitting back eating McDonalds and playing Xbox, we are slowing it down.
He's upset because one of the biggest and richest countries, also the one he works in, is neglecting that which is the very future of our survival and progression.
MilesTraveler I'm not sure, if we're talking about the same thing if you claim the iPhone to be a sign of scientific superiority of the USA. That's engineering and FYI: They're built in China. Also: If science doesn't transcend national boundaries, how come that Einstein, Fermi, Dirac, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Bohr, Planck, ... weren't american citizens during the development of quantum mechanics?
What is so frightening on the fact that the currently largest particle accelerator is located in Europe? You are invited to contribute to this project, as all other members of this collaboration do. And you actually do:
international-relations.web.cern.ch/international-relations/obs/usa.html
You seem to have totally misread into my comment. Not one bit of it was tooting America's horn. Rather saying it's shameful we didn't finish the larger collider we were building in the 90s.
Why does it matter? It held everyone back because America was selfish, I'm angry about that.
Plus I cannot fly to Europe and take a tour. American college students cannot go there without crossing the Atlantic. So it is hurtful to us HERE that our government canceled it.
Which is Neil's point. He's not being nationalistic but rather upset at his nation.
MilesTraveler I'm not sure if a 40 TeV collider was actaully a good scientific idea or just a "display of power", as I wrote in a comment below. The 13 TeV of the LHC, built in an already existing tunnel are enough to look for physics beyond the standard model and were surely enough to search for the Higgs boson. We now have to see, what kind of new physics we discover and that will define the design of the next accelerator. Some pyhsicist for example now ask for a big linear accelerator to do high accuracy measurements. Other have different experimental needs. We have to see what we find at the LHC and that defines the design of the next level accelerator. CMS collision energy is just one aspect. The 40 TeV of the SSC also seemed back in the ninties braggy, and many physicist wondered at that time if that machine would ever be finished -- justified, as we know by now.
To go to another country to do your post doc terms is also something normal and desired in a scientific career. So, OK, American physicists have to come to Europe to do research at the LHC. So what?
That may be another discussion, but I think it would be in general a good idea if Americans would learn a bit more about other countries and cultures ... Maybe deGrasse Tyson should travel a bit more to take of his US centric glasses: We are a physics community.
Miles Traveler I guess if the US put the money it spends on bombing middle eastern countries into scientific research it would be top of the game. Same for the UK.
Wellamerica only wants to spend most of it's money on WMDs sad that any country should have to spend money on weapons
I could listen to this guy like for hours
If earth stops for a sec ,My mom will blame my mobile for all this .
I remember when Neil talked about what it would look like if extra terrestrials. He said the natural order would take place whenever superior beings came into contact with inferior ones, in an environment attractive to the superior. That they would wipe us out. Conquer us.
Made me think of what happened when Europeans explorers and settlers encountered the Native Americans in North America. Same thing huh? Natural order of things.
Exactly.
Good thing the earth is just on top of a giant cosmic turtle floating through space
ikr?
Maturin will always protect us😘😂

You like Stephen King
Adrian #8 Maturin is dead long live the Crimson King!
That's what Christopher Reeves's superman did in the 1978 film while trying to reverse time by literally reversing the Earth's rotation. The Earth actually stopped rotating for few seconds. Dude literally caused an apocalypse just to save his girlfriend. And people complain about Man of Steel having a lot of destruction.
What a brilliant guy. I could ask him questions all day lol
Larry King: I love tops, love em...OH I LOVE EM
Ok, calm down Larry.

He's a jew too. Jew love dem dreidels.
If Earth stopped rotating for a second, i would definitely need to tidy my room...
Not if all the junk went flying out the window. Result!
Need more teachers like this guy. How many more kids wouldn't get bored in school & f%&$ up their lives if they had a fun/engaging lecturer like Neil?..
I love this legendary man.. Neil de grasse Tyson ✌️🙏
