- US astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson discusses his major problem with James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic.
This was part of a conversation held with Stephen Colbert at Montclair Kimberley Academy, New Jersey in 2010. Watch the full video at: www.haydenplane...
As someone who's listened to a lot of "you know what I hate?" rants in my time, this is by far the BEST EVER! The fact that it is coherent, factually based and funny to boot just makes it that much better.
This is probably best story in human history :D
lol! How can you not like Neil deGrasse Tyson after watching this video? lol
Stephen Colbert was obviously having another great time interviewing him.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is too pure for this world
That little dance need to be a gif.
The stars in the sky Rose was looking at should have been from different constellations etc. The star pattern should have been very different from what was in the film.
What I really love about this story is that it shows how much trust we place in people who claim to have expert knowledge. Only a tiny handful of people in the world are capable of hiring a submersible to go down to check out the wreck of the Titanic, so we just have to take Cameron at his word when he says all those little details in the film are authentic. Cameron getting the sky wrong fucks up that trust. Neil was sitting in the movie theater looking at the lazily mirrored stars and asking himself "if this guy was willing to mess up an easily verifiable detail, then I wonder how much of the unverifiable details in this movie are BS."

Downvote, downvote before it breeds and brings people to our sacred ground!!
Imgur brought me here. I cant believe i didnt notice that before.... :D
This whole interview is the best I've ever seen.
And so, I was livid!
Dont tell UA-camrs about imgur!!
Hold me back!
LOL
Lmao
This man knows
I dont get this, what exactly was inaccurate about how the sky looked? Someone pls explain.
Shiftee88 the stars should've been other stars. they just mirrored one half. disastrous!
Stars in the sky change positions throughout the year. One can calculate precisely how the stars were (or will be) positioned on a given date in a given place. We know when and where the Titanic sank, so astronomers know how the stars were supposed to be positioned that night, and Cameron got it wrong.
Because noone on youtube knows about imgur...Imgur is a secrret little club that has only about 5 quazillion visitors every day.
Imgur's only reason for existing is as an image platform for reddit. You're like the rats in an experiment, clueless as to the real nature of your reality, as the redditors observe from high above.
