Dealing with a flat Earther is easy. Just take the flat Earther off, put on your spare Earther, and then see if Kwik Fit can repair your flat Earther or you need it replaced.
Now, I can die happy, knowing how many ties Bill Nye has.
Its been a couple years - so unless you died the same day... things have changed and you can no longer die happy with outdated information. 🤔
Wrong. You can travel back in time. It's called voting Republican.
Kavkaz 🙌🏾nice
That's a good one too, Cody
@K1dD3ath
actually NO, that's not a good one... not if you know your history!!! Do you remember who coined the phrase "Gorbachow tear down this wall"? Ya, he's the God of the Republican party... RONALD REAGAN!!!! Russia was our biggest enemy during the Reagan administration up until now. So your friend Cody knows nothing!
Kavkaz Damn 👌👌💯 good one!!!
lmao
I love these comments. It's nice to hear intelligent conversation. Critical thinking!
I've invented a time machine. It can only go forward in time, to the future, so it is a one-way trip.
The other tiny little limiting factor is that it operates at a ratio of 1:1.
But It Works!
I set the controls on my machine to take me an hour into the future and an hour later there I am, an hour into the future.
It seems works for any length of time you care to set it for. Adjust it for a day, and a day later, there you are... an entire day into the future!
It truly is amazing.
But I've been afraid to push my luck too far.
I don't know if I could go a hundred or more years into the future. The stresses might be too much to survive.
Every time I use it, it seems to sap the youth right out of me.
An unfortunate side effect, that.
For I know in my mind I am only in my early 20's but the face staring back at me in the mirror is well into his 5th decade.
It is a mystery... a conundrum that I may never figure out.
I have built a time machine that allows me to send messages 3-days into the future. I call it the "mailbox".
"...you can move forward in time...hey we just did!" I love Bill
I LOVE YOU BILL!!! Keep informing people of the truth. It's more important than ever now.
Bill Nye is a lying FRAUD! He is NOT and NEVER WAS a
"Scientist".
He took engineering courses in college. That’s it. He is an
ACTOR & COMEDIAN.
He worked for Boeing as an engineer briefly and then he
ended up on a late night talk show doing skits and characters and one was
"The Science Guy". He was one of many pretend scientist characters
but he was the only one that got a Disney show. He played other dorky
characters but this bow tie wearing geek stuck...but he is an ACTOR and
COMEDIAN by profession, not a "scientist".
He has gone on record saying that anyone that disagrees with
the official story of global warming should be ARRESTED AND JAILED. IN AMERICA.
That should be a huge red flag and set off all kinds of alarms. He's just
another puppet that the government parades out to shove the propaganda down
your and your childrens' throats. Don't believe anything this jerk reads from a
script someone else wrote.
He spends his time on sets and in studios, NOT IN LABS AND
NOT DOING SCIENCE. Very unlikely his tax return says "scientist" on
it. He gets paid to LIE (act) and PRETENDS he is a science guy and his lab coat
is simply a COSTUME. He is reading from a script someone else wrote. Grow up.
Stop believing the global warming/climate change made up
money making crap. Because that's what it is.

GeekGod94 Bill nye the full of shit guy explain your ' theory ' of evolution against the LAW of Biogenies where life can Only come from life, always has always will, making it a LAW that fucks your theory up like you are trying to fuck good people up with your crap. So Bill please eat your crap and crawl under a rock you pathetic loser
Conspiracy Smurf still knows more than your dumb ass.
I love Bills' explanations, i actually feel smarter after hearing them. Thank you sir.🙏
I love the retro 90's Green Screen - very hip sir.
Green screens are actually more '70's through early '80's, the '90's was the age of Doom and the popularization the internet and green screens were dinosaurs by then ... but that's OK.
They were not, I was in college studying Electronic Intermedia in the 90's and was in HS in the 80's - the 'internet' didn't even become a real thing until the 2000's. And yes, technically green screen has been around for movie and television since the 80's, but that tech wasn't available to Joe Smoe until the late 90's. It used to take hours just to render digital photographs and video in a college lab in '97. But ok...whatever man.
Nexus2Eden I too was in college in the '90's and high-school in the '80's. I simply misunderstood what you meant by "green screens," since I still remember that term being used to refer to refer to the old monochrome monitors that were black with bright green pixels. I have to disagree about the internet though; it was not that useful in the early '90's, but started to come to its own in the mid '90's -- I remember it being quit good in the late '90's, and going down hill (clogged, cluttered, full of too much garbage) since the '90's. But the original point was a misunderstanding, different meaning of "green screen," I think we're both right about the kinds of green screens we were each talking about.
Funny, I was still posting to Bulletin Boards and using AOL in '95 - there wasn't any real 'social' media outside of AOL at the time - weren't you still using dial up? If I remember correctly pop-up ads were just starting to be a nuisance and just about everything was hypertext based no internet video. There wasn't even much happening as far as .gif and .jpegs and you were still spending $100's for a 60 MB hard drive. And there were no 'cell phones' except for companies that could afford $2,000 for a brick and pay $2.50 a minute to make calls. But sure...if you want to say the internet was happening I did have a $2,500 iBook with 128 MB of memory... using Netscape. But I'd hardly call it the community it became in the later 2000's.
In 1994 I had AOL, and that sucked since it was long distance. In 1995 we finally got a local ISP, but it was still dial-up, though I didn't seem bad by 1996. Once I moved away for graduate school I had high-speed through the universities LAN, starting 1997. Late 19998 I moved back off campus and returned to dial-up (except for a small comuputer lab), but I suppose with fewer images and such made it seem reasonably fast -- smaller files, so it seemed fast. I didn't have my own high-speed 'til 2006, though, and have never had a smart phone. To me a smart phone is basically just an alternate why to see the internet, and not as good as a desktop even if more portable, so I don't consider them.
Sometimes I wonder if it's even helpful to engage in conversations with people who are so massively in denial about science and reality. All they're going to do is dig their heels in even deeper, google search that one thing that agrees with them out of tens of thousands of things that prove them wrong, and stick with their denial. You end up doing more damage talking to them than you do just dealing with the problem and ignoring them. In this case, the problem is politicians and the solution is to just replace them.
People get really defensive and confrontational when they feel their beliefs are under attack. People will always choose what they want to believe.
Jake Mills thank you for your comment. It took guts.
Jake Mills Wow, now I feel really blessed to have the ability to feel no emotional connection to confrontation. Ad hominem attack rarely affect me, and half the time I simply don't realize that I'm being insulted, just because of how little I care about people validating my thoughts.
What Hell must it be to have your brain's defense-instinct triggered every time someone says something contrary to one's philosophical paradigm? Sounds exhausting.
Ya, until they are willing to actually partake in the conversation you are only making noise with them, and at worst as opposition give them more reason to be unreasonable.
Trump has #AlternativeIntelligence and by that I mean almost none at all
Damn trump for making "alternative" a bad thing with his "alternative facts" bullshit.
lol
RandomU5erName
SAD!
i have all the facts, i have the best facts. haters on my facts are calling me silly. SAD!
yeah, cus "alternative" was a good thing before.
like alternative medicine..
or the alternative right..
We already have the capabilities to travel forwards in time.... We just have to do it at a leisurely pace...
"Critical Thinking"
When you roll a 20 on your intelligence check.
my alternative facts are the best facts
They're tremendous! Let me just tell you.
People say your intellect is as yuge as gina.
Fake news! My alternative facts are the best. You work for the crooked media!! SAD!
Your alternative facts suck! My alternative facts are lemon scented and glow in the dark!
DeM jajajajajjajajajajajjajababaha!!!!! i cant even!!!!!
Bill is who got me interested in science as a kid, and I have absolutely loved it ever since
I love you guys! I know I don't pay any money and I just watch you guys for free but I'm broke. Well below the poverty line and you give me some much-needed entertainment and information. I can't thank you enough. People! please give them $$$$$$$!!!!!!!!
We need scientists as leaders.
Kurt Noble or if we absolutely have to have none scientists as leaders one that actually listens to them.
I didn't cheat on my wife I just had an alternative relationship
well it depend, did you vow to her not have other relationship? if no then you not cheating.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman... she just sucked my dick." -Bill Clinton
Man Bill Nye has an answer for everything!! Not just an answer but a long defined explanation. Watched him throughout the 90s as a kid in school. What a great guy!
Thank you for making this available without Startalk All-Access; nothing wrong about it, its just that I can't afford to subscribe right now, will definitely do so when things get better. Thank you for this!
Nye/Tyson 2020!
I love how one of the most respected scientists on Earth used the term "spaghettified" to describe the effect of time travel
thats the correct term
I love how some consider Bill Nye to be "one of the most respected scientists on Earth." Alternative fact??
Bill Nye we love you you're great scientist, star talk is very entertaining and scientific, thanks for star talk crew and everyone who participated.
I can't believe this is live. #billnye & #chucknice always have such a remarkable sense of timing and chemistry. #greatduo
Where's the alternative facts part?
Jim Kirk 3:58
yeah this video is clickbait. There was about .5 seconds where they slipped in a alternative facts joke
The video's title is literally an alternative fact.
This timeline.
Bill Nye for president 2020
My 7 year olds hero and a courageous champion to me. Thanks for all you do Bill!
Bill Nye is a super smart, down to earth person. Watched while i was growing up.....love this guy.
How do we know time travel doesn't exist? Because nobody came back to warn us how badly Trump is going to fuck the world up.
flako92zan except if many worlds theory is correct and someone did it would be in effect on a different universe so your entire hypothesis is dependent on if multiple worlds and parallel universes are true or not. Jury's out because the math can support it but it's absolutely impossible to prove.
i only came to this becouse of bill nye the science guy 😄 so handsome!! ( i sound like an old lady lol)
Bill Nye is singlehandedly responsible for my love in the quest for knowledge and fascination in life. He's so important to me
I love the startalk podcast! I've never actually "seen" it before! i'm surprised by chuck nice. I had no idea he looked like that. Its funny how a lot of us imagine people solely based on their voice and the manner they speak.
4:05 do not allow de vos as education secretary
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
-Adam Savage.. also Donald Trump
Bill Nye thank you so much for teaching people science. I think you're fantastic!
Bill nye whistling the bill nye the science guy theme song is the best thing ever
Bill's eyebrows are like two halves of an evil mustache....BILL BILL BILL BILL
BILL BILL BILL BILL
I saw a t-shirt I absolutely loved the other day. "Science - like magic, but real." =)
Bill Nye and Chuck Nice, what a cool combination! Thanks, everyone involved! =)
Bill Nye is the greatest, he was a huge part of my childhood and learning science 💪 🧬
Q: Is time THE fourth dimension, or is it A fourth dimension?
Time is THE fourth dimension. You can't have more than one fourth dimension.
Yes, those would be the 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. There can be only one!
well string theory (or rather m-theory) suggests 10 dimensions of space + time, that'd make time the 11th dimension ?
I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. I thought you were asking if time was the fourth dimension or one of the fourth dimensions (as if there could be more than one). Time can be any dimensional number - it doesn't have to be 'The Fourth' per se. It is whichever one you choose, however it is customary in the context of Euclidean geometry or a Cartesian system to be the fourth defined dimension. But in any system with multiple dimensions such as in Bosonic string theory, spacetime is 26-dimensional, while superstring theory is 10-dimensional and supergravity theory 11-dimensional. Time is an n-th dimension where n can be any of the enumerated dimensions.
It isn't space + time...it is space/time (they are unified).
go Bill itsy our birthday, oh and first!
Bill and Neil and many other great scientists.
Thank you all for the awesome knowledge.
Just in case it's all over soon .
I would like to thank you for a life time of education .
You have helped to make me who I am .
Keep it real!
Here is my issue: every time I hear Bill Nye talk, he always says that science is the best idea we ever had, and that he could prove things, but he rarely does. I think if we are to defeat religions, we ought to start acting more like a scientist and less like a preacher. I love Bill Nye, he is a smart guy, but I think that shaming people who do not agree with science is not going to get us where we want to be. We need to show the evidence in as much detail as necessary, and let them figure out for themselves that they are wrong.
Rafael Ördög this comment needs more upvotes
Rafael Ördög holy shit! I just found a reasonable, rational person on a youtube comments section! well, there's one tick off my scavenger hunt list. now, where's that unicorn?
Rafael Ördög
But Bill Nye is a science communicator. He is not here to prove things to you. He is here to let people know that we have a very good reliable method of figuring things out. That you should find out about it. To study the methods, evidence and reasoning behind our theories. To learn.
_"I love Bill Nye, he is a smart guy, but I think that shaming people who do not agree with science is not going to get us where we want to be. We need to show the evidence in as much detail as necessary, and let them figure out for themselves that they are wrong."_
We already did that.
Creationists - ignoring Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics, Geology, Metrology, basic definitions...
Flat Earthers - ignoring Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics, Metrology, Geometry, Navigation...
Any other who are in denial...
They ignore anything just to stay in their fantasy world. They will never figure it out for themselves (at least not the majority).
Peter Jakubik > I get that, but if you believe in creationism, and someone attacks your world view with another world view, you are unlikely to listen at all. Even if you are undecided you are unlikely to listen if the claims made are hard to believe. And let's be honest, without much explanation and evidence presented in excruciating detail evolution is quite hard to wrap your head around, especially if you have a world view that contradicts it. All it does is it backfires. To get someone to read up on science, start learning about science, you first need to get them to trust you, and it's pretty hard if you run a full on attack on what they see as a definition of who they are.
:ToggleSwitch: I think you are being naive in thinking that technology will change peoples minds about these topics. I think it's just the way around. People do not understand how technology works. They have no idea about how a GPS works, let alone that the fact that their GPS works is implicitly proving Einsteins theories millions of times over every day. Similarly the more advanced these technologies get, the more out of touch they will be with the average people, they will just see it as a piece of miracle making machines that "no body knows" how it works, but they can rely on it non the less. You don't even have to look far for a person like that, the current US president himself stated that he believes that "nobody knows exactly what's going on" because of computers.
EVERYBODY< LETS START A FIGHT UNDER THIS COMMENT!
Truth Is Relative No! That's dumb, you troll!
😇
Truth Is Relative ALTERNATIVE FIGHT!
You're looking well today. How are the kids?
this is a great comment! you should feel happy with yourself! grr!!
*raises fists* LETS DANCE
Bill - been a fan for years... at 10:00 you explain what 10 year olds should be able to grasp and hold on to. Most kids have so many distractions though - some of them must surely take heed
I felt like I was having a stroke in the times between Bill's answers to twitter questions, and now I have the sudden urge to buy a subscription to Star Talk™ All Access. Other than those parts, very interesting and entertaining.
Bill, you are awesome, but could you please stop shilling your channel as an "answer" to questions? If we want more critical thinking and such, the answer isn't "WATCH THIS UA-cam CHANNEL!" it's "we need to stop teaching 'intelligent design' and creationism next to evolution." "We need to teach the scientific method, and teach kids to know that science is the best understanding of the universe." "Encourage curiosity and testing." etc. AND YOU KNOW THIS. If you'd stop the shilling and promote the facts more, I'd watch more, and I'd encourage everyone I know to watch. YOU DON'T NEED TO SHILL. Good science will win the day, if you promote GOOD SCIENCE more than your show. Please. You never said on "Bill Nye the Science Guy" to "GET MORE PEOPLE TO WATCH THIS SHOW!" You just stated facts; science. Please go back to that.
Jacob Kleinke wish I could thumbs up this about fifty times.
Dude, it was a joke. He needs to make this show funny, otherwise people won't watch it. It can't be just facts and science. Most people on UA-cam have short attention span and are easily bored.
First get your definition of "shilling" correct. Science doesn't care about your feelings dude. get over it
Also it was complete sarcasm, but watching this show wouldn't be a bad first step.
Bill Nye is my hero, love that man. An exceptionally intelligent, charismatic, caring Man. This dude got me into science and engineering and I've never left. Bill is the savior and hero we all need and want. Oh, and Neil is pretty decent too 😅
Chuck, you are the man! Thank you! and Bill too..
I'm grateful for your time and knowledge. Thank you.
i never knew bill had a podcast, I found my new favourite
Just watching this makes me smile :) I'm not even trying, I just end up with a grin listening to Bill :) Smart, and funny guy. Keep on rockin' Bill!
Bill Nye and his passed down tradition of wearing bow ties is the reason I wear them. I went to a catholic high school where we had to wear ties and I always got compliments on them. I'm 34 and only wear ties at weddings or funerals since I'm a professional film prop restoration artist and previously worked an spfx make up artist and technician in Hollywood before opening my own studio north of Boston. I wish I had a chance to wear them more often.
Hey Bill, great explanation of science at the 10min mark. Thanks for all you do, keep up the good work!
The best thing I've heard all week.
Who watches so much star talk they need to go 4 years back for "new" content?
So good, thanks guys. Keep making the world a better place, you're inspirational!
"Speggettified, and now I'm hungry." Lol ...and now I'm hungry as well. 😂😂😂
First time viewer. Been watching a lot of politics and trying not to cry. This is very reassuring and will be shared at nauseum. ❤🔍🔬🔭
I love you both so much. Please, don't ever stop.
So much respect for this man, a role model growing up. Bill got me interested in science, while I'm only working in applied science, the science is the part I love. I work with HVACR systems, and it helps to know the science behind it, not just the installation, the troubleshooting and, the numbers. Understanding the science and why and how it works makes the job so much easier and so much more interesting. I Love my job, and love to explain how it works. I've talked to so many people that think an HVAC system is always an open system, a vent blowing air, in from outside and, then cooling the air coming in, while sometimes that's true, the HVAC system in you're home is completely closed unless you want outside air, to avoid sick house syndrome. (SBS (sick house, or building syndrome. The gasses that are put off by you're carpet, paint, drywall, insulation, etc. can actually make you sick. in a closed HVAC system the only time these gasses can be vented, is when you open you;r door or windows. (don't do it too often though especially on a humid day, it can cause mold to form in your home.) happens when the stale air in your house actually makes you feel sick, Get some fresh air guys! it helps with depression, and can help you're overall health!) I love explaining how it really works because I love the reactions, when people are learning and are interested in the topic you are talking about.
HVACR or HVAC is Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning, and refrigeration. I have to explain that sometimes too but, its cool because sometimes people think you're a rocket scientist, until they realize you're just a heating and cooling guy lol
“We can go forward in time, (pause), WE JUST DID” 😂
I've been podding you guys for years. Good to see you branching out.
We need this man to live forever. The world needs him. Bill, I mean.
Bill Nye showed me at a very young age the bad music videos can be educational. And I love him for that.
I missed that in Periscope.
I used a directory for long time to watch lives in Periscope but for some time ago it dont work anymore.
3:10 I laughed at the joke and nyes fake laughter made me even laugh harder
Keep up the great work Bill. Keep people interested in the real, provable, observable facts. I think the intelligent (or, at least, the reasonable) underestimated the power and numbers of the ignorant, and as a result the world got a little...disappointing.
All we can do is keep talking, stick to the science, and have some hope in humanity that more people will realize that reason and critical thinking are not luxuries in quality thought, but rather necessities.
Keep talking. Keep stating the facts. Drown out the noise of prejudice, bias, cowardice, and ignorance.
You, and others like you, are the most important weapon we have in halting this new age of ignorance. If I thought there was a god, I would ask him to bless you all. In absence of that: live long and prosper. Lets get this world heading in the right direction again.
My college actually had a Critical Thinking class, as well as an Effective Communions class. and it had a "How to Be a Master Student" class (basically, a class that told stidents to study a lot, to try to stsy healthy and to make wise choices, including to not get pregnant while a student... all the obvious things students and those with average intelligence should already know).
Watching Bill Nye explain the scientific method was the highlight of my day.
I do resent the avid commercialization of access to this content, I respect that the Government has done f all to actually support these sciences and the proliferation of said knowledge, and as such star talk may need funding
i go to many comment boards to communicate this message, and i hope you all hear me here. Have empathy for those who deny truth. some people are just jerks, it's true, but in a world with this much data available, and with such incredibly complex scientific discoveries to be revealed, the work we need to do is clear. be reasonable, listen to others well, and educate yourself as well as be educated by experts. i'm glad to see the trolling is at a minimum on this board, but please be wary of words like "moron", "foolish", and "idiot". we choose to be moral, and ethical; we can choose to be open minded and inclusive while still being rational and standing up for sound science and truth. good luck everyone!
oh and thank you thank you thank you Bill Nye, we love you!
Keep up the fantastic work Bill and Nice
I loved this!! This was the kindest podcast I've seen!
Bill, you are the reason I was top of my class in elementary school.
I'm totally with you guys!!!!
I really like how planetary society logo and Bill's jacket with those leather parts resemble Star Trek uniforms :)
The world is watching Bill !
In response to encouragement of critical thinking, I suggest we implement the escape room approach to scholastic testing of all levels. I previously was a room designer and don't see why we can't just base the puzzles, riddles and clues on the material covered in the classroom. "You say you studied? Lock yourself into a room with fun games to figure your way out and prove it." Students can even compare how long it took them to get out, if they did at all.
He said it! "Science Rules!" My life is complete
if planet earth fails, is humanity capable of moving forward into the stars? amd Bill you are the man, spreading the word on your show.
I don't think going to the stars is necessary. Or even Mars, for that matter. We can build large structures in space that simulate gravity by rotating. Building these from the Moon and asteroids would increase the liveable area by factors of over one hundred...
Bad Beard Bill i like your answer, like a deathstar theory, but hopefully not evil.
There's also 4d geometry. Carl Sagan has an excellent video on the subject. He doesn't talk about the W axis, but he does talk about flatland, the tesseract, and other such things.
I love StarTalk Radio!
4:04 - 4:07 Now someone need to MAKE that a GIF
well, talking about the question where the answer ends at 2:52. you can look back in time, but not travel there. because of the speed at which light travels through space when you see (for instance) a star, you are in fact looking back in time. and depending how far away the stra is you could be looking at something that has long since died and is no longer there. Just something to think about if you didn't already know. The next question I feel is very important. I think the best thing you can do is to keep yourself informed, and tell that information to your children. Bill is right in saying that you should watch these episodes, but inform yourself, question everything, know the facts. and the most important thing is to tell your children the same. don't just accept what they hear, question everything, and always strive for the truth... it's getting harder and harder to find, so we as parents must show them how.
I go back in time at least twice a year. For instance, I leave Tokyo Haneda airport at 00:05 in the middle of the night on January 1st (it's only 5 minutes old) and I arrive at the San Francisco airport on December 31st at 6:00 pm. Yes that meets the definition of going back in time, doesn't it? I can celebrate New Years twice.
Nye and Neil have to be the coolest scientists ever, once I become a scientist I wanna do the sort of things their doing, I will continue their legacy! (I hope)
I'm building that time machine now, Bill! Didn't agree with everything, but great video. ❤️Chuck Nice too!
just curious .. what did you disagree with?... I felt that the statements in this vid was fairly uncontroversial... have a nice one.. ;)
Hey Bill, I got this...ahem...
The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking:
In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them.
1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism.
Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007). The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?”
2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions.
Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. And, in evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience.
3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives.
Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in the capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally difference from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles.
4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions.
In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases.
5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking.
Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinkers expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007).
Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice.
In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can be reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena.
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS
>Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking?
>In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why?
> What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?
going through ur mail like:
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL
Bill Nye is literally my favorite celebrity
That time travel joke was funny to me lol
thank you for a great resource -- one question, a philosophical one so I hope you're up to it: Is science the only way of knowing? please answer if you know... and if you don't know, be honest and objective (as all scientists should be) and answer anyway... thanks again for this amazing resource that fits so nicely into the classroom format (ie - short, sweet and simple)
love Bill nye!! this is awesome😍😍
Everybody does part of the science procedure every day. New data: Raining. Hypothesis says: Rain coat or umbrella. You get observation and what your hypothesis tells you. Since your hypothesis works for you the most of the time you assume that it will work all the time. But the farther you get from your personal experience, the higher the odds that you have it wrong. So you *must* test instead of thinking 'well I don't know anything about that but this is how it seems to me so I'm good'. If we can get people past the pesky verify part we will be so much better off. Also 'The Idea Below'. Beautiful :-)
