Are you at least 26 years-old? If so, you are older than Isaac Newton was when he invented calculus... on a dare! (If you're younger than 26, better hurry up.) Big Think expert and overall cool guy Neil deGrasse Tyson explains why Newton is the greatest physicist who ever and likely will ever live.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON:
Neil deGrasse Tyson was born and raised in New York City where he was educated in the public schools clear through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. Tyson went on to earn his BA in Physics from Harvard and his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia. He is the first occupant of the Frederick P. Rose Directorship of the Hayden Planetarium. His professional research interests are broad, but include star formation, exploding stars, dwarf galaxies, and the structure of our Milky Way. Tyson obtains his data from the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as from telescopes in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and in the Andes Mountains of Chile.Tyson is the recipient of nine honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal. His contributions to the public appreciation of the cosmos have been recognized by the International Astronomical Union in their official naming of asteroid "13123 Tyson".Tyson's new book is Astrophysics for People in a Hurry (2017).

TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Who’s the greatest physicist in history?
DeGrasse Tyson: Isaac Newton. I mean, just look… You read his writings. Hair stands up… I don’t have hair there but if I did, it would stand up on the back of my neck. You read his writings, the man was connected to the universe in ways that I never seen another human being connected. It’s kind of spooky actually. He discovers the laws of optics, figured out that white light is composed of colors. That’s kind of freaky right there. You take your colors of the rainbow, put them back together, you have white light again. That freaked out the artist of the day. How does that work? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet gives you white. The laws of optics. He discovers the laws of motion and the universal law of gravitation. Then, a friend of his says, “Well, why do these orbits of the planets… Why are they in a shape of an ellipse, sort of flattened circle? Why aren’t… some other shape?” He said, you know, “I can’t… I don’t know. I’ll get back to you.” So he goes… goes home, comes back couple of months later, “Here’s why. They’re actually conic sections, sections of a cone that you cut.” And… And he said, “Well, how did find this out? How did you determine this?” “Well, I had to invent integral and differential calculus to determine this.” Then, he turned 26. Then, he turned 26. We got people slogging through calculus in college just to learn what it is that Isaac Newtown invented on a dare, practically. So that’s my man, Isaac Newton.

Your trademarked slogan should be "Want to get More Dumber, Faster".
The above Tyson video is completely addled and wrong.
Halley's question on orbits is very famous and well documented. It is the question that prompted Newton to write Principia.
The fool Tyson gets the question wrong. More importantly his date is off by about 15 years. Halley asked Newton about orbits when Newton was in his early 40s.
It is thought Newton worked out his contributions to calculus when in his early to mid twenties. But obviously it wasn't Halley's question that prompted Newton to think about calculus.
Let Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins become known for their poor scholarship and dishonesty.
@digital subliminal messages I like that suggestion. Big Think's trademarked slogan should be "Want to get More Dumberer, More Faster™?"
Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins seem to be okay with Tyson's claim that Halley asked his famous question before Newton turned 26. They have made zero effort to correct the misinformation they've helped spread.
Thanks for your video, highly appreciated. Compliments of the Season. BTC price is in a precarious location, the asset set a new all-time high just days ago but is currently below the record and starting to decline. analysts suggest that the latest rally above $32.000 could have been triggered by aggressive buying from institution investors on coin base, as suggested by the large premium of about $350 compared to the price in binance....The shifting momentum is now presenting in technical indicators supplying bearish movement, adding to the double top narrative that’s been building since failing to break $30,000.?? This being taken into note, it can’t be more obvious that trading Bitcoin is way more profitable than just holding and waiting for the price of Bitcoin to skyrocket. I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from trading till I came across Carlos Andrewfx program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading Bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin, he provided me with %100 signal and with his strategy i was able to increase my portfolio from $4000 to $42,000 in just a week, I was convinced to say his an expert, with Andrew help.

Oh....and one more think to add to Newton's list of accolades: He wrote the Principia, which 300 years later is still widely regarded as the greatest work of science ever written. Simply put, Newton was the man.
Isn't that about the principles of mathematics?
He also invented the reflective telescope. All practical telescopes including Hubble uses the concept of reflective telescope. The observable universe is thanks to Newton. Newton was god's gift to science and humanity that only comes around once during mankind.
the most ever and ever of all times ever ever never before etc… english and its overuse of superlative for almost anything
and also he was devoured christian too but denounce the trinity stating it's a later edition .and the book was a "historical accounts of 2 notable corruptions in the scriptures " a letter to John Locke in 1657
It is to my amazement how Neil can describe this so well while being so incredibly high at the same time.

Lol he's not incredibly high because if he were then he wouldn't be able to carry a clear argument. But he does appear to be a little high

Newton at the end of the day will always be the greatest, no other scientist can match his originality!
DaVinci has left the chat
Naaah
@@agerestricted1947 he can go and suck on a bitter lemon
@age restricted Newton was in a completely different league and...completed his works. DaVinci was neither an engineer, scientist nor mathematician. He was a Renaissance man who excelled in most areas. He struggled with focus, He didn't complete, The Last Supper, Gran Cavallo Sculpture, he left the monastery without completing the Adoration of Magi (which he'd been commissioned), the background of the Mona Lisa is amateurish, according to biographer and expert painter, Vasari. Mathematics, he didn't write and record, one simple equation, he put forth potentials, he made no advancement or notable contribution to mathematics.. As for science, there is/are zero notable contributions to science, that Da Vinci can claim. A brilliant man, but specialist, absolutely not.
@@stevenwriteswebsite newton came with calculus

Why is your comment funny? Seriously, be a sport and clue me in, thanks!
Exactly. Considering his time, the discoveries Newton made were insane. Truly a brilliant man, if slightly unhinged.
Most brilliant people are slightly unhinged.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 Never wanted to be unhinged so bad
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 yes, like Donald J Trump
The calculus part of the story is actually somewhat inaccurate.
When Edmond Halley (Halley's comet) asked Newton how he would describe the curve of planetary orbit, Newton responded it was an ellipse. When Halley asked how he knew, Newton replied that he had already done the mathematical proof. In fact Newton had invented and been using calculus in his own work for quite some time before anyone else even heard of it. But Newton could not produce the written proof to show Halley because it had been written some time before, and he had misplaced it. So, he rewrote the proof and had it delivered to Halley a few months later. In other words, like Newton's revolutionary telescope as well as so many other things, Newton would solve the mysteries of the universe for his own private amusement (while everyone else struggled) and then grow bored and move on to something else without even telling anyone. It was all mere child's play to him.
Tyson is right.....spooky.....making the hair on the back of my neck stand up just thinking about it.
+leatherneck1061 Ok this is still eqully if not more bad ass than the original calculus story
Yeah, and apparently he spent the large majority of his time on fallacies such as alchemy and trying to decode the bible. If only he lived after the time they realised that was all BS, imagine what else he could've discovered had he devoted his entire time to science.
futurez12 why do you deny religion
vefvefvf Jolly because it is nonsense with no evidence.
Newton was no follower. He forged his own beliefs based on his own reasoning which were not entirely inline with the church of his day. No, he would most certainly never come to "realize" anything new. He gave positive arguments in favor of the necessity of a creator and would almost certainly believe such things today.

endless loop? wtf are you blabbering? learn how to form a sentence that makes sense. then you can wish for newton teaching you.
My man, Sir Isaac Newton.
Pythagoras was first but Newton was greatest
And later in life, he ran the English (later the British) mint, and reworked their coinage. He did such a good job that the standards remained in place for over 100 years, until the "Great Recoinage" of 1816.
It's like finding out that Beethoven, Van Gogh, and Babe Ruth were all the same person.
I just love how much Neil loves and admires newton ❤️
And he did it without internet, computers, television, not even damn radio at the time. This guy is insane!
As a man of science, hats of to Sir Issac Newton. What a mad scientist!
We are having this discussion right now, on the smartest man in history. I was leaning towards Einstein but the fact that Newton did so much before he was 30 years old might just end that discussion.
Halley asked Newton about elliptical orbits when Newton was 41. Tyson's video is bull shit from start to finish.

Haha, I love his reaction after he said " then he turned 26"
He spazzes out after dishing out complete bull shit. Newton was 41 when Halley asked him about elliptical orbits.
And more than 99% are upvoting this steaming pile. Truly the populace is growing dumber than fuck.
@@HopDavid but didn’t he begin the work on it when he was in his twenties and that’s why he knew the answer already when he was asked, but he had lost the work so spent a couple months rewriting it.
@@fredbarker9201 Newton had worked on calculus in his 20s (over a three year period, not two months). And he didn't do it all by himself (as Tyson has claimed). Tyson built on the work of Barrow, Fermat, Cavalieri, Descartes and others.
When he did his stuff on elliptical orbits isn't clear, I believe in his late 30s.
But yes, he had done the calculuations prior to Halley's question. So Tyson got the reply wrong. "I don't know -- I'll get back to you" is falsifying Newton's reply to Halley. Tyson also got Halley's question wrong.
And it didn't take Halley a couple of months to redo his calculations. He got back to Halley 18 months later.
And this didn't all happen before Newton turned 26.
I wouldn't mind that Tyson wildly exaggerates Newton's accomplishments if he didn't use these falsehoods to push his narrative.
Tyson will claim that Newton could have easily done Laplace's n-body mechanics in an afternoon. But he had God on the brain.
The idiot seems unaware that Newton invested a great deal of time and effort on 3-body models. Newton spent years trying to model the motion of the earth, moon and sun.
After Newton, Euler tried. Does this poser Tyson even know who Leonhard Euler is? Many think Euler is the greatest mathematician that ever lived. Laplace held that opinion.
After Euler tried Lagrange worked on it. Maybe you've heard of the Lagrange points? They should be called the Euler Lagrange points since Euler found L1 through L3. Lagrange discovered the points trailing or leading the orbiting body by 60º.
Laplace built on the efforts of Newton, Euler and Lagrange. To say Newton could have Laplace's work in an afternoon is stunningly stupid.
Tyson likes to brag that Newton is his man. The fat, pompous fool doesn't know shit about Newton.
@@HopDavid I’ve been creating a list on the greatest creative minds to ever come out of England/Britain and I simply cannot pick between Newton and Shakespeare for that first spot
@@fredbarker9201 I don't know that much about Shakespeare but am interested in Newton. I think Newton is a contender for that title. But please don't use Tyson as a resource in your research. So much of his material is confused and addled.

Euclid I think the universe has a strong correlation with cytology(study of biological cells), I view the the universe as one big cosmic cell that is active and organic. Everything within this Cosmic Cell are just organelles of this Cell; stars, nebulas, blackholes, gas, plasma, dark energy, dark matter, Life; All have the same purpose of maintaing the life/health of this universe. I also think there was no Big Bang but a BIG DIVIDE of one cosmic cell into 2, and that we are not forever expanding but in the midst of dividing again. If you do some research on this you will see a very strong correlation I promise you.

Vsauce only makes "fun facts" videos, not real knowledge.
Vsause? You might wanna stick to school buddy.
Yes because Vsauce teaches you integral and differential calculus.
Derek Leung Yeah, and a lot of the stuff he says is not 100% true. For example when he said that your reflection doesn't change size in mirror no matter how far away you are, he was wrong because the reflection size and angle depends on the perspective of the viewer so for someone standing near the mirror, your reflection will get smaller the farther away you are.
Definitely deserves respect! Newton was an awesome person!

hahaha, my calculus teacher told me to search on youtube for "Neil deGrasse Tyson about Isaac Newton" on youtube, now i know why
And the vid is wrong. Halley asked Newton about elliptical orbits when Newton was 41. And Fermat, Gregory, Barrow, Cavalieri and others had laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus in the generation before Newton and Leibniz.

"Guess what, I can do not only that but also invent the most powerful tool in the history of mathematics at the same time!" "Woah, watch out, we got a badass over here."
Learning where this gif came from was insightful, thanks for posting ✌
Newton was somewhat similar to Rick in the Rick and Morty show. He would solve the mysteries of the universe for his own private amusement (while everyone else struggled) and then grow bored and move on to something else without even telling anyone. It was all mere child's play to him.
I was at an American Association of Physics Teachers conference a few years back. Neil deGrasse Tyson was the guest speaker. He was so awesome that they delayed the entire conference for an hour just to let him speak longer. I don't know of any human alive that is doing more to promote science, curiosity and rational thinking. Thank you Neil... our children and grandchildren will live in a better world because of you.
hmmm I disagree. He even goes so far as to make fun of people who are interested in luner eclipses. He also apparently gets information wrong about Newton and spews' it out.
Neil is a Kardashian "astrophysicist". Great at making viral tweets and scoring screen time. But he hasn't done research or even studied physics in decades.
Most of the stuff he says about Newton is wrong, by the way.
For example it was Edmund Halley that asked Newton about planetary orbits. Halley asked his famous question in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s (not before he turned 26). Newton didn't reply "I don't know". He told Halley that planets would follow elliptical orbits if the sun's gravity fell of with inverse square of distance, that he had calculated it. And so he had. Newton made his break trhough in 1677 after he had been working on the problem for 12 years. Newton didn't do it two months nor did he do it before he turned 26.
It is very infuriating this man drops utter bull shit with such a strong, confident voice.
Greatest man ever born on Christmas Day.

My favourite scientist Newton, an exceptional talented, hardworking and smart human being..
The reason for having people in college struggling with differential calculus is not that they can't figure it out. It's the teachers who will try to explain it in the hardest and most annoying way they can. In fact a good teacher will need no more then 15 minutes to explain the basics of differential calculus to a high school student.
people fight through college to learn calculus because learning calculus is actually a person trying to force their brain to think like newtons brain. You are literally overriding everything you have learned and everything that makes you you in order to become newton. At least for the period in which you might need to simplify some incredibly complex math problem.
kaga13 Not literally changing who you are but changing how you think. Changing how you would perceive a problem and how you would tackle it.. adopting the teachers thought methods. and actually education can change people. Take a child from the ghetto and teach him philosophy and literature for 4 years and he wont be the same ghetto kid anymore.He is different.
I'm at university, i'm no expert at calculus but i wouldn't say i've had to force my brain to think like his. The way i see it, how could it be any other way? I definitely wouldn't have have invented something like this obviousbly, but no more than i wouldn't have invented the internal combustion engine. But now they have been invented/discovered, their genius is clear to my mind and i can understand them to a certain degree without any real strain on my brain.
Remember that every learning process requires a re-wiring of the brain, so in the sense we are indeed perhaps forcing our brains to think like Newtons when learning calculus, but then you could also say i force my brain to think like Shakespeare when understanding and making sense of his texts.
i love this channel. simple and straight to the point.
ahhhh yeah!!! Can't wait for Cosmos!!!!!!!
Newton - without doubt - the greatest intellect in human history.
Newton's occult writings were pretty cool. He was very much into alchemy.

@MrVisuljak LOL. Tesla would shit his pants if he was ever in a room with Newton.
Heh, genius level IQ. I'm no genius and I got straight 10/10 from all calculus courses. And I didn't even much read the books just listened in class. But still inventing a whole new field of mathematics is a feat of immense magnitude.
I don't show up to class, just read the book. Learn way more that way, and it is way faster
My top 3 "men" are: Sir. Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare and J. S. Bach. Neil deGrasse Tyson is pretty high up there, too.
Neil's thing is over simplified pop science that's often wrong. And his bad history is often outright fiction.

Color me impressed Neil.
Ever why some people are born with great talent and intelligence such as Newton? Its actually Newton`s 3`d law that decides it, lol. Dont believe me? Google *Truthcontest* and read *The Present*. Its the most simple, accurate and complete version of the truth about life, death, mankind and the laws of the universe and how they relate to us as consious beings. When the book reaches enough people it will change everything, it will be seen as the most revolutionary and important book in the history of mankind. It might be laughed at by some to begin with, but the truth will prevail.
actually, I knew that already
0:20 cool, right?
What Newton achieved, almost single handedly in the 17th century is difficult to comprehend.
Inventing calculus certainly wasn't a single handed effort (as Tyson makes it seem)
Barrow, Fermat, Descartes, Cavalieri, Kepler and others had laid the foundations of modern calculus in the generation before Newton and Leibniz. Barrow was Newton's older colleague at Cambridge.
The timeline Neil gives is addled and wrong. It was Edmund Halley who asked the famous question about planetary orbits that prompted Newton to write Principia. Halley asked the question in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s, almost two decades after Newton did his calculus work.
Newton made his breakthrough in 1677 when he mathematically demonstrated inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws. Newton was in his mid 30s at the time. He had been working on gravity and his laws of motion since 1665. So it took him 12 years. And he didn't do it on Halley's "dare" which came 7 years later.
@@HopDavid finally someone knows something
@@fliksn There is so much misinformation floating around the internet. It is very frustrating and discouraging
@@HopDavid yep
1:32 After that point, the internet would never the same
1:23 WATCH OUT; WE GOT A BADASS OVA HERE
oh we got a badass over here
Why do you and a bunch of others keep saying this "badass" thing? (I genuinely want to know.)
3 reasons I had to watch this video. 1. I was forced to by my professor.2. Neil deGrasse Tyson is sorta like the second Bill Nye.3. 1:35 and after... it says it all.
1:35 EXACTLY
Fantastic analysis
Why does the cosmos try to paper over the fact that Newton was deeply religious and his science made him more in awe of the universe
Thanks for your video, highly appreciated. Compliments of the Season. BTC price is in a precarious location, the asset set a new all-time high just days ago but is currently below the record and starting to decline. analysts suggest that the latest rally above $32.000 could have been triggered by aggressive buying from institution investors on coin base, as suggested by the large premium of about $350 compared to the price in binance....The shifting momentum is now presenting in technical indicators supplying bearish movement, adding to the double top narrative that’s been building since failing to break $30,000.?? This being taken into note, it can’t be more obvious that trading Bitcoin is way more profitable than just holding and waiting for the price of Bitcoin to skyrocket. I didn’t think it was possible to make constant win from trading till I came across Carlos Andrewfx program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading Bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also stack up more bitcoin, he provided me with %100 signal and with his strategy i was able to increase my portfolio from $4000 to $42,000 in just a week, I was convinced to say his an expert, with Andrew help. You can easily get to him on Instagram (@carlos_andrewfx or WhatsApp+19715122836....
That is Sir Isaac Newton to you. Bloody yanks, if someone has a title you call them by it.
***** Ah, the old yank insult of our dental health. Good one. Seriously. Funny. Very imaginative. In fact, if you weren't such an idiotic twat, maybe you could educate yourself and find out that Britain has some of the best dental healthcare in the world.

***** Knew it. Knew you were 12 years old.
As American's we do not acknowledge the authority of those titles, there is a reason titles like that do not exist in America.
FordGTGuy Cause America is an awful country. In that case, I don't recognise Obama's authority as a president..
TheWestHam97 You dont have to. Hes not YOUR president.
At 1:19 my friend sitting next to me said this,
"I haven't seen that movie"
sir issac newton....what a focus mind.
THEN HE TURNED 26!
Haha, so true. Gotta love Neil. And of course Sir Isaac Newton.
He's inspired me to learn integral and differential calculus .
Have you learned it?
No disputing Newton was immensely brilliant and hard working, but like many other famous people in history, he’s also a beneficiary of being the right person in the right place at the right time. If John Von Neumann had been in such a position at that point in history and stage of scientific discovery, I don’t discount the possibility that his monstrous intellect would have brought similar enlightenment to the world, and we’d be singing his praises as the greatest scientist that ever walked the earth instead of Newton.
A lot of life and the position we go down in history as is due to sheer luck. People don’t want to admit it because it’s scary to think so much is up to aspects outside of our control, but it’s true.
Imagine the contributions to mankind he could have made if he managed to complete his alchemy studies.
