Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Nothing 

Me too now I understand nothing

LOL

Lol

Lol

It killed me but NOTHING happened

Underrated comment 😂😂

That's deep

Very underrated comment.

The IQ of this comment is "Astronomical" or "A Googleplex"

...and during that time talking, he explains everything. This man is a godsend to humanity!

I CAN TALK ABOUT NOTHING FOR 5 HOURS

During which time we learn a whole lot of nothing.... well maybe smoke a joint. lol

You mean nothing that you understand. I can listen to him and understand much of his content

Your heart is beating, your blood is flowing, your lungs are expanding and contracting, eyes are blinking, motor controlled muscles not \mussels\ are flexing, brain is constantly thinking and firing through receptors through out the brain, and signaling nerves through out your body. And even if your dead your decaying. So can't be doing nothing. old man typing. LOL

@@SierWilliam 😂😂👏👏

SierWilliam okay then i was flowing blood through my body, pumping my heart, expanding my lungs and contracting them, thoughts firing in my brain through receptors, muscles contracting, eyes blinking, moms spaghetti.

So accurate!!

This comment deserves more likes.

@@squeet6831 OK, I'll give it one then.

I read run in the Firefighter Clown voice 😂

*The nothing proceeds to consume everything*

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

🎵I have oxygen, nitrogen, C02 if I don’t have you🎶

Well…….actually😏

My thanks to you Dr. Tyson, but given all impediments inherent in human nature due to the process of evolution and struggle for survival how can we ever hope to understand an explanation such as that?

Nah infinity when he explained it didn't take to long... Lol

well, he technically did talk about something. He described what it means to have nothing, and because nothing is directly proportional to something, we can infer the limits of something.

Luingus lol

That made me laugh. Nice joke.

🤣

SAME

Its even better in my case because my family doesnt understand english.

Well actually.....

@@indorilnerevar3161 It would be the same in other languages in my case would be "nada"

Lol and mine

I wish I could say the same. My bank balance has something...anti-gravity. It currently repels all positive numbers.

🤣

Underrated comment 😂

There's so much Nothing that a 10 minute video is actually 13 minutes.

Valentino Balbonis job

I will also watch!!

Being paid to breath would be better.

liv Gertz that would be epic

But the questions he asks and some of the input.. he's actually smart as well as funny... he's not a scientist but you can tell by his comprehension, when hearing the answer the man has an IQ higher than average......

that’s a double

"Do whatever you want!"

Now, there are a lot of virtual particles swarming there.

bwhahaha nice

Nah you shoukd say: Everything

He got air as present

😅🤣

😁

Then he got excited and sad almost at the same time, because he knew there was an extra virtual particle there as a present but it vanished before he could detect it.

love your joke!!

The laws of physics still act upon the area outside the expanse. With universal gravitation, there are waves being sent out from particles, but outside of the expanse, there just isn't anything to attract.

That means you HAVE a bank account. So thats something

You played yourself

@@dragoonTT ooff took me a while but got it, that's harsh ma man

@@dragoonTT Yo you just killed the man, come on.

Firstly, nothingness can't itself have an existence which is a tautological consequence of what existence actually is. You can't use "nothing" and "existence" in the same sentence without contradicting yourself. The relation between existence and the absent of it could be expressed as follow: existence=E, non-existence=E-, nothing=non-existence, existence=everything, E/=E-=> existence is not nothing, E=E=>existence is everything. The potential for everything to exist must be true since if existence didn't cover some parts that could conceivable exist, nothingness or non-existence would therefore exist in some way which cant be true since that would imply that a paradox was realized. One way to imagine this is to imagine the set of reality, that would be the ultimate set containing absolutely everything which would include all sub-sets. But then you might wonder why this ultimate set doesn't contain the set of nothing. This can be explained by imagining the set of nothingness, the absent of existence illustrated as an empty ring containing nothing since the set of nothing consist of nothing inside of it. The area inside of it would be totally empty and blank. Since a set is defined by its elements, the set of nothing is the only set that could never exist. Therefore, it doesn't either exist as a sub-set of the all-encompassing set of reality. Since logic is the means by which existence is realized, defining existence and non-existence firstly requires the explanation for why that logical operation can be made. That is, why logic itself exists. This must be explained trough the means of using some kind of metalogic where you define logic with logic itself. The answer to why logic must exist in this metalogical sense is that analogues to existence, the absent of logic would itself require an attribution that can't be attributed to it without the presence of the attribute. Non-logic is the absence of logic, making a distinction is itself by nature logical and therefore logic must exist as the very nature of its own structure. The relationship between logic and reality could be expressed as simple as: Logic=the structure of that which is true, Existence=that which exists and therefore is also the complete set of truth, Logic=Reality. Since reality is all there is, it defines, configure and processes itself from this primordial state of infinite potential into every logical structure that could possible exist, since remember, logic and its product which is reality requires the mere possibility for anything to exist to actualize since L=E=Everything.

Of course, Earth hangs in space.

Technically he gave him nothing at the end.

Just one Pepsi

@@guitarsenpai420 Lol what a reference

By giving him nothing he gave him something.

He gave him something! It’s called BS. Typical Neil deGrasse Tyson! For real!! Neil goes round and round, with a multitude of words, that in the end, all add up to……..Yeah, NOTHING!!

Do you laugh when you think of number 69.. internet wants to know

I have a little of doubt about your age...

As long as these kind of videos have order of magnitude more views than the flat Earth videos, there's hope for humanity. Unfortunately we have entered (mostly here in America) an age of anti science where people are so cynical and have no trust in institutions that even the science and scientists became victims of this crazy movement. These people trust their feelings, their guts, their eyes and their local pastor, more than they trust people who've spent most of their lives learning and explaining how the world works... But in spite of this these people love to use their smartphones, the internet, cars with GPS, etc. And all the stuff I've mentioned is based on science and not on some guy having a feeling about something.. I like my doctor to base his opinion on the scientific facts thank you very much..

Bruh you’re not 69 years old you’re 6.9 years old

@@markbrisec3972 most people in the world don’t believe in flat earth

But luckily/unluckily we don't have psychic powers, so when I think of a canoe sized banana into my room, it doesn't appear in the room because I thought of it. Only through using my body along with my mind, will I achieve this important GMO goal!

Yes, but only if you clarify what you mean by something. Not everyone considers immaterial things like thoughts and ideas to be something, but if you do, then sure.

It's trivial to describe non-physical/made-up things. That doesn't make them "a thing" but they are non-scientific. And that's the problem with talking about "nothing" in physics, because it's impossible to have a theory without starting from something. And if you define nothing as the absence of that, then the definition of nothing is non-scientific.

You’re confusing philosophical nothing with physical nothing.

There’s so much more to learn now than when we were young . I’m 71 and I can’t get enough of this stuff - I mean all things scientific, but most especially science involving the largest and the smallest features of our universe -> such as astronomy, chemistry, physics and the like. Makes me wish I could read faster! The advances lurking just barely around the corner are truly mind-boggling!

You write this comment in every video

72 and still learning. Love this,!

@@omars-qz6rn There's a difference between being a hobbyist astronomer/learning the cool concepts, vs doing the work of one.

Gotta always be skeptical in the modern world.

That’s what I always answered people (especially my daughter) when they told me they were doing nothing. ;)

i've found the youtube comments section are a whole lot of nothing, hope you're doing well cody, my brain after this video on the otherhand is kinda nothing

top comment by cody and only 8 likes

Sounds like jc penny

Now that I think about it, from what you just said, travel and talking become one, my wife talks for hours (traveling through space/time) and say absolutely "nothing".

Heyyyy cody

In what universe would that ever happen? Lol

That would be something

@@thejpx yeah, that would still be a youtube video Or It would still be neil being silent wich is something

Neil is never quiet

I expected Chuck to interrupt Neil and say: allow me to start explaining nothing. And then he would remain silent.

XD

Yup

It’s like he knew...

Having a smoke whilst watching hahaha

hahaha xactly !!!

Truee. Don't forget one cannot have shadow without life.

Darth FB because Neil deGrasse Tyson made a 13 minute video on it?

People who play Minecraft, and have fallen in the void 420 times: First time?

Aww I know

@@JT_771 not that it matters, but 'yes.'

Uhm you just described it tho...

Does it mean that my nothing can be completely different than your nothing?

Contrariwise, Nothing is Everything, all the potentialities, even the unknowables, the undefinables, the undescribables. Infinitely rich and dense.

Nothing does not exist, there's no such thing as nothing, for even describing "nothing" means its something. Therefore it should not exist.

@@clarcktumazar "Nothing" is beyond and above our existence, our reality. It is more real than our Universe. We are after all mere projections in 3D of a 2D reality on the surface of our Universe sphere, on the boundary to Nothing.

Which is why the big bang is such a mystery to people who aren't creationist. Kinda supports the fact that something was always since "nothing" cannot be.

Ale ssandro ………You have said what ARISTOTLE a Greek Philospher had already said , about 2400 years ago …You are as great .Thanks IN HIS own words **Universe does not like VACUUMs**… In the Universe of Space - Time , there exist no *Nothingness*…man made or Natural .. But Pre - Big Bang Condition is of **Absolute Nothingness**…There existed not even a single material Particle , whatsoever. That’s the True Nothing ………JagtarSinghAujla USA

@@OfTheTribeOfJudah matter and virtual particles ain't the same thing, though.

We don’t know enough about our universe to claim that nothing can’t exist. Cuz we literally don’t know what nothing is.

@@OfTheTribeOfJudah Personally, I believe our universe was created from the brief formation of a white hole. This could explain why we haven't found the theoretical "center" of our universe and why everything is rapidly expanding outward. Also, to believe in an all-powerful creator, would still leave you with the same question: if "nothing" cannot be, where did this creator come from?

In our brain, maybe. We do not know anything about what lies behind our horizons. There may be an infinite amount of pasts, and futures may keep popping up in an infinite eternity... We'll never know... we even can't imagine such reality. In our mind there has to be a start and finish... a cause, a future, timeline, bend by gravity maybe, but lineair. We'll never know how matter became existence. As Kant wrote in our past: faith starts where science stops... So we created a creator... constructed intellectually The Bang. In reality that construction lies beyond our observational capacities. Was there intelligence before it mattered? Energy of some kind? What created cause? Where did that come from? I rest my case.

So, you understand something.

Yes

Just listen to any philosopher.

not even jerry?

You're the first person that I've read in the comments to perfectly pull off the "nothing" double entendre

Or is it?

*mind blown* see as humans we are so use to everything being "something" even the basic terms we use are incorrect when attempting to discuss nothing

At what

Lovin' every minute of it !!

Talking about nothing

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure they are making fun of me.

For me, it's that these always something new. Even on things I know a fair bit about there's always something fresh on every topic

Thank you Neil & chuck

Athens Georgia?

Athens Ohio? 🤪

Nope! Athens, Greece

Are you wearing sunglasses?

Litterly knowledge freinds

I think the deeper understanding is not that "nothing" doesn't exist but that it is impossible for us to observe "nothing". If you think about the time before you were born and didn't exist that would be "nothing" except we can't visualise, remember or imagine that because it doesn't have any connection with your existence. True "nothing" is completely incomprehensible but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

@Ed Straker what?

not to mention there are dimensions we can't see.

Wow 👍🏾

Ygritte understood that in the absence of virtual particles, there was something there and Jon knew it.

nothingness doesn't exist. therefore when Ygritte says that Jon knows nothing, she meant that what Jon knows doesn't exist. therefore Jon doesn't know anything 😏 back to square one.

@@GrammeStudio the value of nothing exists tho just like how we know life is around us but we dont value it so we say it is not there.
