- Neil deGrasse Tyson tells us about some of his least favourite Sci-Fi movies, as well as who would play him in a film. Order your copy of Letters from an Astrophysicist now: amzn.to/2DgjVVH
Neil deGrasse Tyson is arguably the most influential, acclaimed scientist on the planet. As director of the Hayden Planetarium, and host of Cosmos and StarTalk, he has dedicated his life to exploring and explaining the mysteries of the universe.
Every year, he receives thousands of letters - from students to prisoners, scientists to priests. Some seek advice, others yearn for inspiration; some are full of despair, others burst with wonder. But they are all searching for understanding, meaning and truth.
His replies are by turns wise, funny, and mind-blowing. In this, his most personal book by far, he covers everything from God to the history of science, from aliens to death. He bares his soul - his passions, his doubts, his hopes. The big theme is everywhere in these pages: what is our place in the universe?
The result is an awe-inspiring read and an intimate portal into an incredible mind, which reveals the power of the universe to start conversations and inspire curiosity in all of us.

"and it violated more rules of physics per minute..."
Rohit Shetty: hold my beer.
*hold my cars
South sifi movies
@@kesarichilliescompany384 bollywood is in no way different than other southern film industries. They r just popular thats it. So u r saying bollywood produce realistic movies dumbass..?
@@kesarichilliescompany384 at least they balance it with their experiments.
@@AjaySaravana I never said Bollywood produces realistic movies.
"I'm a servant of the curiousity of others.". That's just beautiful. Thank you Dr. Tyson.
Damn your extremely correct I didn't catch when he said that. That's very very very deep
At the end... He is almost disappointed about how quickly that interview ended....lol
The man was just getting started... He loves to talk !
that's NDT for ya
ua-cam.com/video/0pmviUS1Zac/v-deo.html
a J and we love to listen 😊
He wouldn’t be be very good at his job if he hated to talk!
Lol, that's kind of true
Ive never seen Neil this high on deGrasse before
Best joke 😂
Ikr? I decided to check the comments section to see if anyone thought the same thing!
@@ryanizer11 I didn't mean to downvote your comment...fat fingers on a small screen
Linda Roy that’s fine man have a great day!
Dude doesn't do drugs. He went on Joe Rogan like 3 times and was stone cold sober.
When he says he has never seen more laws of physics violated per minute he has clearly never seen a south indian movie😅😂😂
😂
And Bollywood movies
And salman khan movies.
So u r saying dhoom, race, krish, and most of the bollywood action movies obey every laws of physics. Bollywood stunts r also unrealistic.
Indian movies in general
"I am the servant, of the curiosity of others"! Humility + Genius = A giant of a man!!
He is anything but humble.he is a fucking peacock always interrupting people speaking and mentioning his book. Also He always do pauses in his speech waiting aplauses
@@bladerj this is so true, compare to his other science communicator colleagues
If bearing knowledge down on people who would feel stupid by comparison is not being humble, then he is not.
Interstellar's science advisor was Kip Thorne, Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics... expert in gravitational physics and astrophysics. Of course, it was scientifically accurate, the man in charge is one of the world's leading experts in physics!
Kip Thorne is the smartest person on the planet atm.
rsr789 The problem is science is a CONSTANT work in progress and what may be POSSIBLY true today might be debunked tomorrow so what’s being taught in schools might be wrong all along! So don’t give too much respect to a Nobel Prize winner because the people awarding those things are flawed human beings awarding a flawed human being winner. Keyword FLAWED! Flawed people(everyone) make mistakes on a regular basis so why have winners on these things??!? We should call them winners “RIGHT NOW ONLY AND COULD BE WRONG LATER” instead because it’s very egotistical to call someone in that a winner when a very advanced alien species could look at that and say to themselves “these children mentality have no fucking idea!”(In their own alien way of communicating.
It was very accurate but only to the point where it wouldn't interfere with storytelling. I saw an interview with Kip himself where he says that being that close to the black hole should have fried Cooper and Brand inside the ship due to the huge amounts of x and gamma rays emitted by one. Also, he mentioned how the doppler shift, which should distort the light around the event horizon even more than what's portrayed in the movie but they left it out because it would be confusing to the audience.
Yet Interstellar gets black holes CGI right, but doesn't manage to get basic orbital mechanics better than science-fantasy flicks. "Let's do a gravity sling" Then proceeds to accelerate all the way as if piloting a plane, completely missing the point of doing that maneuver. Also the whole "your dad is now some sort of ghost stuck in your interdimensional bookcase" thing which is hilarious, even from an in-world perspective, the guy can control gravity from there, but cannot manage to use the billion of years he has available there to learn how to steer a pen and write things down.
Interstellar was good at introducing some cool science concepts but it distorted others for the purpose of the story
When he said INTERSTELLAR....I was like what🤨!!!
Then 🤩😌....
kanna trishan Had the same reaction! 😁
@@Moshidoll In my opinion INTERSTELLAR and THE MARTIAN are the most accurate sci fi movies😍👌
He's right about the story being confusing. And a good sci-fa movie doesn't need fist fights on exoplanets. It detracts. Another thing about Interstellar is that it plagiarized Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey novels (badly) without any credit.
*Ad astra* is it a good movie?
@@Amor_fati.Memento_Mori No that movie is horrible.
Biggest plot hole in Armageddon; it's easier to train miners to be astronauts than it is to train astronauts to be miners.
@JZ's Best Friend Perhaps less people would get killed by a shitload of smaller debris, compared to an entire chunk ball the size of Texas smashing in full force. The other option is imminent death by doing nothing, so might as well shatter the stuff into pieces and see what happens.
We did send a few space tourists to the International Space Station in real life, so perhaps just hitching a ride in space is not as tough as we thought it would be.
@JZ's Best Friend Well, if you want to nitpick on the Hollywood storyliine, they did launch 2 space shuttles with 2 nukes with them. But only 1 shuttle survived. So if you have 1 nuke, versus imminent death, which one would you choose? You are there anyway, so why not just blast it and see what happens? Atleast you won't die with a bothered conscience that you didn't give it a go no matter how small the chance of success.
@JZ's Best Friend I think the students from a university worked out that to split the asteroid in Armageddon in half and make both pieces miss the Earth by 100 miles given it's size, speed and composition would require energy equal to 800 trillion TJ, alot more then every nuke on Earth combined.
Another thing is the space shuttles flying in space like it has atmosphere and how the miners somehow survived a sustained acceleration of 9+ G for 11 minutes.
Worst sci-fi movie I ever saw was Battlefield Earth-loved the first 5.5 minutes then woke up 45 minutes later in a pool of my own drool. Won 17 golden raspberries.
Battlefield Earth was so stupid of course it was some good things in it just like every movie but that was a stupid movie
” I am a servant of the curiosity of others...” Now that's a scientist! Very kind of you, Neil!
"What better occasion to binge watch than a multiyear space voyage?"
Novel corona virus: hold my phlegm.
FINALLY!!!
Someone says something nice about "Interstellar"...
What? Most people loved it and has praised it. Some nitwits find it boring and deflate aggregate scores but who cares about them.
Bollibompa So if someone doesn’t like Interstellar, that INSTANTLY makes them nitwits?!?? Who now is the nitwit who makes INSTANT conclusions on people because their so sensitive to their favorite little movie?!?? Here’s a spoiler: The only nitwit here is YOU!
@@Mr.Honest247
If you found Interstellar boring you are a nitwit. Simple as that. Sorry to burst your bubble but here's some more dissonance for that female brain of yours; I also regard people who don't enjoy science as nitwits. Opinions are fascinating!
Bollibompa I enjoy science but Interstellar was just a boring ass movie like most of Nolan’s overrated movies... and you’re the moron! Just because I don’t like your stupid shitty overrated movie doesn’t make me a nitwit! But you sure are a nitwit for the very fact that you insult anyone just for disliking your shitty movie! Dumbass!
@@Mr.Honest247
Haha! A literal "No, you!" from the nitwit. How quaint.
Michael Bay should be prevented by international law to never make a science fiction ever again ...
Michael Bay should not be allowed to make movies, period.
Michael who???
... exactly!
Maybe an actor from the United Kingdom.... now, THOSE people can act!
I find him weird. Many actors and directors he's worked with describe him as one of the most brilliant, talented directors they've ever worked with. His teacher at the film school he attended, who now is part of the group who chooses the films that get nominated for Oscars, said he was one of the greatest directors she's ever seen.
But his movies are hot garbage.
There's a theory I ascribe to that he is knowingly making bad movies because he knows what will sell. He's basically holding up billion dollar mirrors and showing us what we as a society want, and we keep going to his movies full of racism, sexism and dumb plots, proving him right every time.
He's a great director, who just cares about making lots of money more than he does about making good movies.
And since 2 of his Transformers films made over a billion, even though we'd already seen his films before and knew they would be garbage, he clealy knows what people want and how to give it to them.
@thesix107 Doesnt matter whether he has played with the toys or not. He knows what the consumer wants and he makes movies accordingly. Everyone is happy. Audience get their catharsis and investors get their money. Brilliant.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human In all fairness "Transformers" the first one was not that bad.....I totally agree with the rest "Armageddon" takes the blue ribbon price for being the most Scientifically inaccurate movie of all time! 😂
The thing about this supremely intellectual and knowledgeable man, is that he comes across as a really nice guy who is not rude or condescending. A top bloke.
You clearly haven't seen his twitter
@@trinidad17 shush. Science doesn't stop to think about opinions.
Neil: consumes pizza and milkshakes during long time space travel
Also Neil: Dies of malnutrition halfway to Mars
Thats kind of strange that such a wise men doesnt excercise enough
I doubt Dr. Tyson would follow through with a diet like that. He was simply stating his favorite foods he likes to indulge in from time to time.
Diabetes, although you could argue that's a form of malnutrition.
Yeah. I think this is more of a commentary on his favorite foods. I don’t think he would actually take that into space 😂 😂
Ahahahhaahaha
I was seriously expecting the answer to the last question to be "Bruce Willis"
I like Kenan Thompson's portrayal of Neal on S.N.L.
Just came for his approval of interstellar.
2:03 the reason they got into a fist fight was because they weren't expecting it because Cooper was meant to die while being pushed but he hung on
"The Core" broke 10 times as many rules as Armageddon - man, that one was horrible! :)
I enjoyed the core. I don't get why people didn't like it
@@rossofficial Oh, I mean I enjoyed it too - just, if we're talking about any realm of scientific reality, hell, even theoretical reality...
@@joshwilliamson1814 yep armageddon was dogshit. I actually think the core is my fave. I need to watch geostorm next. Any good?
I want a movie on Carl Sagan.
Same
Only if Arnold Schwarzenegger plays him
I remember seeing the black hole. It was unbearable.
Disney was just cashing in on Star Wars.
I've seen several of those actually....
@@johnfitzpatrick3094 Not successfully.
I had the record book and it was so creepy that when I finally watched the movie I was terribly disappointed
Denzel? No.... Forest Whitaker. I can see Forest doing deGrasse Tyson.
I would cast Craig Robinson to play Neil.
Robert Downey Jr?
Take your planets off!
Tracy Morgan would be a perfect Neil deGrasse Tyson. Or Kenan Thompson.
@@notlikely4468 Go stand in a corner.
@rockn roll Isn't he dead?
There is nothing this guy loves more than the sound of he's own voice.
Brilliant yes....but pompous and smug.
I get more thirsty after a milkshake so that would suck for 1 liquid lol
"I think about what I need for long space travels ALL THE TIME"... Neil knows something, and he's not telling us....
...that is why it is nice to sometimes do your own homework....
You could discover something the teacher doesn't know!
@@aarenfourever you don't get it, if NDT is thinking about long space travel all the time, he knows the aliens are coming and we need to leave soon...
@@bikebudha01
I honestly believe, 'cause I don't KNOW, that there are very few inhabitable planets that humans can exist on..... besides, who wants to be stuck in a spacecraft for YEARS (no sun, no rain, no grass, no birds), AND live w/a space helmut on, if one does make it to another planet, all of the time?
And, I don't think NDT is holding anything info... he's just not that sure....
... I'm gonna bone up on my Zacharia Sitchin studies... he writes about that stuff, too...
@@aarenfourever do yourself a favor, look up the definition of sarcasm, then go out and buy yourself a sense of humor..
@@bikebudha01
Will do, sweety.... then I can sell it to you.
Its gotta be hard watching any space movie next to Neil. Its gotta be hard for Neil to watch almost any Hollywood space movie. I'm glad he enjoyed Interstellar!!
I find the music in this clip very satisfying.
title pleaaase!
@@ejmtv3 "South Mountain" by 2dashd featuring Staff Muzik
You're Welcome ;)
That's how much I knew about black holes in High school.. 😂😂😂😂😂
the movies are mentioned at: 0:42 Black Hole, 1:05 Armageddon, 1:32 Interstellar,
This guy is great. And he always wants more. More questions, more conversation.
Is this a whole channel of Neil tearing apart movies? Cuz im down!
That's a nice gold Omega Speedmaster professional Neil is wearing.
4:14 -- James Earl Jones.
The worlds 2nd most popular astrophysicist (Brian May of Queen being the first!)
Coolest thing I ever saw... total eclipse (7 minutes long !) in Goldendale, WA... Feb. '79. Standing next to an actual full-sized replica of Stonehenge (look it up !) Way up on a cliff looking over a valley, and holy crap.... there it was.
I timed "Dark Side of the Moon" so that the ending was 5 min. short. "...but the sun is eclipsed by the moon....."
And then............... total silence. Yup. Best ever.
If anyone liked Interstellar, check out Time Trap on Netflix. Great movie that does a pretty good job paying attention to scientific detail. Good movie
Thanks, grudge... I'm going to check it out!
Aaren KD you're welcome. Let me know what you think
@@grudge6648
I will, Grudge.... just finished checking out a review & some trailers...
I put Time Trap (the DVD) on my library holds list since I'm too cheap to pay for netflix.
... I can watch it on youtube, too.... but I'd rather watch the dvd on my larger screen tv.
And, thanks.
@@grudge6648
Hey, Grudge 5!
I just, literally, finished viewing Time Trap.
My thoughts are that, had this flick been crafted with more "mature ideals," it could have been much better.... I liked it... in "snatches"... here & there.
The concept is fascinating... but why inject the "teenaged" thing? That often cheapens subjects like these.. overall, I wish there were a sequel (I, at least, liked it That much)... with some polishing up.... or a do-over, even.... ( I could go on).
Anyway, what other similar movies could you recommend?
@@grudge6648
Don't know if you received my previous reply however...
It was okay.
What else could you recommend?
Ask Tyson about being star-struck ... of course he going to come back with an eclipse. :D
D:Ream “things can only get better”🎶 great tune! Thx god I never heard of that black hole movie! Interstellar & Arrival ( that u had an issue with Neil) r the greatest sci-fi flicks even though the black hole scene is unrealistic in the former but at the same time that scene is nothing short of perfection
lol, when I clicked on this video, the movie that came to my mind first was indeed Disney's "Black Hole" 🤣
Was for sure he would name drop Kip S Thorne and his book Blackholes and Time Warps, which was the main influence/reference for Interstellar.
As a far of the book, I loved that Nolan used so much of it in his movie.
Anyone else a fan?
Ok Tyson, I'll grant you "The Black Hole" is certainly NOT one of the better scifi movies ever made! But you have to give credit where it's due. 1. Maximillan Schell's character Dr. Reinhardt was very interesting. He was like a space age Captain Nemo! 2. Roddy McDowell and Slim Pickins were out standing as Vincent and BOB the floating robots! 3. The USS Cygnus was one seriously COOL ship!!! I have always wanted to see a prequel movie about the events leading up to the Palamino finding the Cygnus. As long as Disney doesn't make it of course!!!
I saw my first (so far) total solar eclipse in 2017 in Sumter, South Carolina. It changed my life in ways I am still discovering. A total solar eclipse is a profound and in many ways ineffable experience. The best way I have to explain it to you is to grab your wrist and show you one.
What about all the explosions and laser sounds you hear from Star Wars when they battle in space ? There’s no sound in space outside of a spaceship
I think he was talking about the ones that pretended that they were backed by science
Because a hours of completely silent space battles wouldn't make for a good series of movies...?
Yes armageddon was silly and false deep Inpect is better then this
Deep Impact was my favorite. Armageddon was stupid and totally unbelievable.
Deep Impact was more scientifically accurate, but it wasn't really that good a movie overall.
NDT: "I was star-stuck by what else but our star, SUN." He has some sense of humor.
This guy is sooo smooth and fab!
Remember in Star Wars when Anakin and Obiwan were inside the battleship that was crashing down to Earth, and they weren't even wearing any seatbelts and nobody got thrown away due to momentum! Or how about Vader's ship coming in to land inside the Death Star landing port which was wide open with the vacuum of space, and yet all the storm troopers were still standing in formation on the platform. Nobody was getting sucked out into space.
Blackholes are not holes-They're doorknobs. Don't let the void hit where the singularity should have bit you.
Neil speaks about a one year space voyage.. and here were are binge watching movies and eating our way thru the isolation.
You look more like a Bill Weathers to me sir than a Denzel Washington... 😊😊😊
Who else things he's high right now
Love this guyy
Hell ya pepperoni pizza, good music and good movies/series is all I need for space travel too! 😎
Denzel? I was thinking Slink Johnson.
(Don't @ me.)
Denzel Washington in The Cosmolizer
Great movie, what's your favourite part? Mines where he does that thing..
The Black Hole... Great sound track! John Barry.
Was he on the Canberra to see the total eclipse in 1973? If so, I was there too!
That's also when I was the most star struck - Neil Armstrong was on that ship.
That is way cool!
I can't believe Neil and I have something in common... Taste in food. :)
Hi Neil. Have u considered reviewing mother/Android. Has good level of realism for a b movie with a fair amount of the philosophy of Asimov in several scenes. Might be a good take on futurism mixed with original thought. Realised tonight that the shush scene between the “humans” with the Android in the forest was a key point and the insistence of not behaving like a human way the Asimov
Denzel as Neil, that's interesting! Good pick.
I was a young kid when I saw this. Later, as a teen I named my dog Max after the Maximilian, the robot in this movie.
One film that should be added to the list of those that totally defied the laws of physics is Disney's "The Absent Minded Professor" with Fred McMurray in the 1960's. I was a young boy when I first saw it and I just loved it. I wished I could do things like that someday. But it defies the most fundamental laws of physics, such as conservation of momentum. Some movies that involve things like time travel or artificial gravity you might conceivably lend some credence to in that there might possibly be some mechanism that could achieve these things someday. But with the "The Absent Minded Professor" that's not even a possibility! The properties of the substance invented in this movie are just totally non-physical.
In case you didn't notice, The Absent Minded Professor was a comedy. I am pretty sure even 5 year olds knew it was possible.
The Black Hole was a movie where Walt Disney tried to replicate the appeal of R2D2... with a vaccuum cleaner.
And they're still trying...
Someone should ask him about the movie Gravity. It looked great but it was a terrible movie in so many ways, not the least of which was from a science stand point.
I really loved that part of where he get star struck by haha
Tyson should watch "the wandering EARTH " that's even worse than any of them
Interstellar was my favorite film that year.
Great video loved the cosmos series
strawberry milkshakes, pizza, and ....NUDEY MAGS🤩
When he said Brian Cox i thought he was talking about the actor.
I thought he was talking about the astrophysicist who used to be in a band.
I'm surprised he didn't mention taking a sparring mat up to space. Dude was a wrestler in his youth.
I would like to get his opinion of Titan AE and the formation of a planet in a couple hours.
song name?
When I heard "The Black Hole" I thought it was about being at an Oakland Raiders game!
Again good stuff
Superbe sound of voice.
So true astronauts fighting in interstellar movies was very disappointing....
"Vanishing on 7th street" was the worst sci-fi film I've watched recently. Most of the film took place in the dark so you couldn't see what was happening and it ended without any explanation of what was supposed to have happened.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_on_7th_Street
I am a little surprised that he did not mention books as something he would take in to space for entertainment along with music and movies.
How do you include interstellar in this category?
Sure you must know a lot about making movies
He knew a lot about black holes during high school.. meanwhile my high school syllabus was a black hole in itself
What does he think about the lucy movie with scarlet
I think it's hard to walk the line between realism and fantasy in a sci-fi. Let's face it, a real space trip would become boring very quickly, and very repetitive. I just don't see that translating well to the big screen unless it's done in conjunction with fantasy, or speculative aspects, such as what Interstellar did.
Niel !You're a real rascal!Enamel?No pool!Nothing less than YOU in the movie would suffice!You dah man Mr. Tyson!
SONG NAME???!!
Hell, I'm an old over the hill white guy, and I'D want Denzel to portray me too.
Love him. An awesome human being.
The one food I would want is also Pepporoni pizza
My response was pizza even before Neil said it... sans the pepperoni though.
I enjoyed interstellar. His comment about the fist fight on an alien planet... Is believable if you consider how Dr Mann felt after realising his planet was not good. He knew, that he'd now end up Dying alone on a strange world. Even if he'd been brave enough at the start of the mission KNOWING that may end up happening, it was only after the truth set in , did his mindset change into one of self preservation.
It would not be that person's nature, they would still be a professional. Some people think the Apollo astronauts had cyanide pills with them just in case. Because of the type of people these are, they did not. They were going to complete the mission or never quit trying. Fighting with a colleague because 'they are gonna miss momma'? Doubtful. They did it because Hollywood likes to have obvious conflict.
He's so high lol...Love it!
what about the Fast & Furious franchise ?!!
Awwwe not the Black Hole that's my favorite I love the little robot vincent.
I am so happy he said armageddon was a entertaining movie
Cause i love that movie
I could listen to this man describe a cat turd...id be interested and most likely learn...he is awsome all the way round
To their credit this was 70's sci fi, black holes where new to most
what.... no review of -Plan 9 from Outer Space-?
He appeared disappointed that the questions ended. 😆 Dude could roll out answers for 48 hours straight if they let him.
I knew alot about "Black" holes in highschool too.
