    Don't care if he is show-biz 'royalty'. No excuse for being incredibly rude. Especially to somebody as interesting and thought provoking as Neil.

      +Donal Caldwell he doesn't even let Neil answer and he asks another question lol

    • @8JFJK8
      @8JFJK8 8 років тому +1

      +Bob. He is like that in many interviews. And it pisses me off, but he probably has a set amount of questions on a variety of topics to get through. This one he wasnt even that bad for it.

    • @Ianblake1996
      @Ianblake1996 8 років тому

      That's just Larry's style of interviewing and it works really well. He tries to catch them off guard and keep them on their toes with his questions so they barely have time to think which often makes the interviews much more honest.

    • @Omaha555
      @Omaha555 8 років тому

      It seems to me like the video is edited in a way that makes it appear that the questions are being asked faster than they actually are

    • @Ianblake1996

    • @JanetStarChild

      Beer is for frat boys. I'd rather have a glass of wine with Neil.

    • @futhamucka
      @futhamucka 8 років тому +4

      +JanetStarChild if you came to the Northwest of the UK and said that beer was for frat boys you'd get the shit kicked out of you.

    • @JanetStarChild
      @JanetStarChild 8 років тому +1

      Dan Reader
      Presumably by kids in their teens and 20s who believe drinking beer makes them "grown up".
      I was like that too until around 30, when I matured and switched to wine.

    • @futhamucka
      @futhamucka 8 років тому +2

      +JanetStarChild presumably not. By people of all ages all the way up the their 60s actually. Beer and ale is a much bigger thing here than it is in the US. Mainly because our beer doesn't taste like fizzy piss!

    • @TonecrafteLuthiery
      @TonecrafteLuthiery 8 років тому +2

      JanetStarChild The beer reference was just my was of saying that I would like to have a conversation with him. Where I come from when you want to hang out with someone you usually say, "you wanna go get a beer or something". I don't like beer myself. I don't really drink, but when I do I only really drink scotch.
      If I were to actually have the chance to hang out with him we probably wouldn't be drinking. It would dilute the conversation and I probably wouldn't be able to get into the depth I would want to go into. Off topic, I've sent several dozen physics questions into the Hayden Planetarium.

  • @DharmaaRS
    @DharmaaRS 9 років тому +107

    Imagine having a father like Neil to play chess with, let alone learn from. I know Neil said that the concept of role model is bad but in his sons case, he has probably one of the greatest role models of modern society, in his house. Lucky guy :)

  • @patrickgaasche2822
    @patrickgaasche2822 9 років тому +13

    I have recently just discovered NDT through UA-cam videos. The more I watch him, the more I respect him more then anybody else. His levels of intelligence are probably extreme, but he doesn't come off as a pedantic jerk. He seems to respect everyone, even if they don't agree with him, and doesn't try to dissuade anybody from personal beliefs. An above average mind, with an average joe personality. Just awesome.

  • @dord9
    @dord9 10 років тому +19

    "As my parents did not do for me, I don't want to tell [my kids] what to be interested in, because then their life's passion will be false. The only way you know it's real is if it girdles up from within. Then, you can become the world's expert in it, and people will beat a path to your door, because you'll be doing it, not because someone told you, not because someone offered you money, not for any other reason but because it stimulated your deepest core curiosity about how this world works."
    Good quote.

  • @justinfrehs3053
    @justinfrehs3053 10 років тому +4

  • @edwardkushnerov4908
    @edwardkushnerov4908 10 років тому +14

    It's a bit ironic that he prolonged an explanation of 'carving longer things into shorter things,' when he could've simply said 'to simplify.'

  • @RPGaddictC
    @RPGaddictC 9 років тому +21

    What I love about the UK is that science, especially in the younger generation and in university, science is becoming cool again. People like me who have no scientific knowledge whatsoever find men like Mr Tyson a wonder to behold.

  • @andystevenson7175
    @andystevenson7175 9 років тому +1

    • @patrickgaasche2822
      @patrickgaasche2822 9 років тому +7

      I would love it too, but I like him to be more focused. President has to deal with everything or at least say they do. Tyson, needs to be in science because science would lose out big time without him.

    • @KingRumar
      @KingRumar 8 років тому +3

      Why, because he's smart? President is in charge of the Executive Branch and the military, it should be someone with experience, a scientist would be out of his field and could make the worse decisions in the moment when he's on the spot because he's inexperienced and out of his league. Leave him where he belongs and has passion.

  • @DavenH

  • @travisspannagel4879
    @travisspannagel4879 6 років тому +1

    what’s funny to me is that in using the metaphor about “carving” something, which initially gives the viewer an image of him carving/whittling wood, he actually ended up not being concise at all having to explain what he meant. great clip.

  • @Johnlc081102
    @Johnlc081102 8 років тому +1

    Perhaps one of the more interesting people that Larry King has interviewed and he couldn't seem more disinterested in the answers and actually engaging in a conversation. And if all you're there to do is ask questions, then don't interrupt the answer. It shows that Larry's goal is to complete the task and nothing more.

    King looks SO disinterested in one of the most interesting guests he might have ever had on. He didn't even sound like he reacted to anything Neil said! I know I'm a fan and all, but I think anyone else would at least give a nodding gesture or some chuckle at those answers. Honestly, that was painful to watch.

    • @lockeforeer
      @lockeforeer 9 років тому

    @neildegrassetyson 11 років тому

    Thanks for this interest in my interview -- the last 7 minutes of a longer 30 min conversation, posted separately. I knew in advance of Larry KIng's "cutoff" style. It's a purposeful tactic to keep conversations in motion. That's what accounts for some of the energy at the end of my answers - knowing that if I got loud and animated he'd be less likely to interrupt at that moment. I gave all of each answer that I wanted, so no harm, no foul. And yes, those were real NYC street sirens. -NDTyson

  • @jimwilson5093
    @jimwilson5093 10 років тому +1

    I don't get why so many have a problem with larry king. It felt like two guys having a conversation. Also I just noticed Tyson himself posted about this interview and was perfectly okay with Larry. I thought Tyson, who I love, got his point across and his post confirms that very point. I think sometimes we try to hard to find fault with people.

      That's just how Larry King is, I think. I do not think he was bored or uninterested.
