@@atlasfeynman1039 Aside from being hand-held bread with filling, a sandwich also has to use leavened bread that was initially cooked separately from the rest of the ingredients. Tacos, wraps, and other unleavened bread with fillings are not sandwiches. Neither is anything in the dough-pocket-with-filling family, since even if the dough is yeasted, dough is not bread: to the extent that the dough does become bread, it only happens in conjunction with the other ingredients, and therefore, it's not a sandwich.
@@atlasfeynman1039 Naan is leavened, isn't it? In that case, I suppose it would count. Likewise, if I took a single slice of standard sandwich bread, put something on it, and folded it in half, that would count as a sandwich, too, under the definition I have proposed. ...I'm willing to accept both of these as sandwiches, although I do think they're pushing the limits of sandwich ontology.
Neil's last answer really struck a chord with me. Learning is one of the things that make life worth living for me. That's why, if I could stay healthy, I wouldn't mind living for a VERY long time. There's so freaking much out there to know!
Then look up a real scientist that held the public eye - Carl Sagan. Neil is a sad shadow of what a real scientist and a real multidisciplinary savant is.
@@christopherkarr1872 Sounds like some one who spends too much time dissing others. Maybe Dr. Tyson is trying to get where Dr. Sagan is or go past him.
@@christopherkarr1872 Neil is actually the best science communicator I've ever seen -- and that includes the late, great Carl Sagan. Carl had an unparalleled eloquence, but Neil has a way to making science fun and much more approachable. They each have/had their strong suits.
All being mentioned are hacks because they whiffed on gravity. Sagan was a hack too which is why his name is only dropped by neurodivergents on atheist channels. Sagan whiffed on gravity, light, fusion, and anything else actually important. All are just spokespeople for the atheist business model...
@@deductivereasoning4257 Are you going to put forward someone who represents something close to an example of the perfect scientist who was always right? Is not peer review the basis of the scientific method? Nobody said they were perfect. Provide an example of your ideal scientist and public figure.
Tyson has quit science and he is getting into country music. I am kidding about second part but not about first part. He was doing interview with Ben Shapiro who asked him about transgenderism and Tyson respond how we cant involve science in LGBTQ+ agenda and that that people should just accept thing as they are and not got science involved in it. So Tyson has officially quit science which is not capable of figuring out LGBTQ+ agenda and we should just have FAITH and ACCEPT IT AS IT IS. In other words Tyson is a Masonic shill deceiving people with cosmos science yet denying investigation of actual problems on Earth and trying to cover up Masonic/Lucifer agenda.

They probably didn't have enough time left on the show. Here's hoping they release the full thing on RU-vid at some point (though I doubt they really will).
I would have loved to hear Neil’s answer for “What happens when we die?” in the Colbert Questionnaire. I wonder if he would’ve gone the practical route describing what happens to our physical bodies decomposing back into the earth, or if he would’ve went for an answer similar to Keanu’s, “I know that the ones who love us will miss us.”
no no peanut butter and jelly grilled cheese those are sandwiches but neil says they are not a taco is not a sandwich either just like a hotdog isn't slice loaves of bread is what makes something a sandwich also Pluto is a planet
@@ivanobar1 by that logic peanut butter and jelly grilled cheese aren't sandwiches yet tacos are needs to be on sliced loaves of bread and a bun is not that
joe jacko Not sure what you’re referring to. Neil distinguished a hotdog bun as being connected, but otherwise it qualified aa a sandwich. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is squarely a sandwich. We use definitions as expedients; they’re practical, good enough for day to day stuff, but rarely scrutinized. Socrates went around asking “wise” men what love, justice, etc…is, only to realize that none of these learned men had an answer; they had not been probed, their explanations were messy…and embarrassing. That did not go well for Socrates. To clarify, whether a hotdog is a sandwich is sort of joke. Maybe it’s just to delve into an individual’s thought process, for fun. Maybe reveal how committed one is to a particular concept of sandwich. All definitions blurr at the edges, give way to exceptions. They represent ideas that are by nature fluid and general. Definitions, as representative of ideas, are general and fluid. What is a chair? Can a rock be a chair? Is a chair the function of the thing or must it conform to something like a dining room chair; the appearance. It seems that the convention of a hot dog as a sandwich does not sit well with everyone, but that’s mostly due to conditioning/familiarity. My comment was directed at the speed and logic Neil used to support his stance.
@@ivanobar1 You aced Debate Class, didn't you? Kudos. I love to see multi-paragraph replies on the internet. The world is full of non-readers who give up if a reply is more than 10 words and lacks emojis.
Rhov Anion Thanks. No formal debating, though argued with a brother 6 years my senior in my youth; that and a little science and philosophy. Even when we’re talking about hotdogs, we’re not really talking about hotdogs.
I feel like Tyson would be the first to say "Actually, he DOESN'T know everything, nor would he want to, because learning is a joy as endless as the cosmos." Or some NDT shit like that.
He slips up too at times, everyone does :P I think why he should be praised is his rather continuous effort to do his best to think accurately and precisely before talking, unlike a lot of people who doesn't seem to care and just spam.
No, he’s a cartoon. (Sure, there are dog’s out their named Pluto, mice named Mickey and maybe a billionaire named Donald, but Donald is a dwarf no matter how you put it, unless he’s a duck)
I love these 2 men immensely. I am the same age as Stephen Colbert. I graduated high school in 1981. That song was the theme song for my graduating class. I saw Styx in Tulsa, Oklahoma around that time. I owned all of their albums, which my husband thinks is rather amusing. He was more of a Pink Floyd and Steely Dan guy. He is 6 years older than I am. I did not know that about the ending of that song, which makes me feel rather silly retroactively. I also have advanced degrees in English and would have been a physicist if I did not also love literature as I do. I have a wicked crush on Einstein, which my husband knows about and accepts. My favorite combination in a person is smart and funny. That was great. Thank you. : )
And is the number obvious like 42 or 69 or is it 269 after the bus i used to take home from school 35 years ago.....no that'd be stupid, how would the writers know i went home on the 269.....oooops sorry, i actually went home on the 268 which took the same but reverse loop.... is the number 268?
"When the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars." -"Aquarius" which was covered by The 5th Dimension. Of course, we know what happened later in Neil deGrasse Tyson's life...
Tyson: [trying desperately to sound smart] "Did you know it's about going off into space?" Colbert: "Ah, yeah, they specifically mentioned 'Spaceship' in the lyrics." Tyson: "Yeah, but, yeah, but."
That hotdog=sandwich definition presumes all sandwiches contain meat/protein, I would say a better definition is all sandwiches must contain sliced ingredients between bread
I agree that meat isn't required, but the slice idea seems like a dead-end. Loose handfuls of uncut spinach leaves could be a sandwich. A lousy one, but still a sandwich. And I've never heard any credible claim that a peanut butter & jelly sandwich isn't a sandwich. I think the hand-held part is important. Filling is pretty much irrelevant, as long as it's something. Hinge is irrelevant. ...An important question is whether a burrito is a sandwich or not. I don't think it is, which suggests that the bread has to be leavened. Then there's also the question of whether any flour-based container for a filling is a sandwich-- pizza rolls, samosas, pierogi, dumplings, and so on. I don't think any of those are sandwiches. So I think the bread has to be made separately from the sandwich. Slice up a loaf of bread, or cut a roll in half, put something in the middle, and you've got a sandwich. Forming raw dough around the same fillings and frying the whole thing up? Nah, not a sandwich.
He would. But, he’s to logical. “That’s for billionaires. I’ll work for them if it’s scientific based travel. Otherwise leave the carbon where it is”. I don’t know him well but it feels right. I’d like to think so.
I'm happy the apples/oranges question got dropped. Colbert's can't-put-peanut-butter-on-an-orange rejoinder grew pretty insufferable. (Anyway, nobody's gonna tell me what I can't put on an orange. And I'd rather get to choose between oranges and pears, since I'd rather my choice be between things that didn't require an additional something to be palatable. Also, what about the people with peanut butter allergies? Didn't think about that, did you, Stephen? Of course you didn't. You only think about yourself.)
Best sandwich: Meatloaf sandwich. My least favourite smell is: diesel exhaust. My most favourite smell is: bacon frying. (Look up Al Murray's "bacon proves the existence of God"!) One song: Samba Pa Ti.
Richard Dawkins hates to be asked "favorite color" questions (actual question asked by a moderator during a lecture Q&A - His head swirled a little and, befuddled, he said, "I don't do those kinds of questions.") I think he'd agree to do this intentionally, though, and he would do it in good humour.

Not that anyone cares, but my answers are: 1) Best Sandwich - MLT, mutton, lettuce and tomato (Lean Mutton and ripe tomatoes are a must). 2) Autograph - James Doohan (he obliged!) 3) Least Favorite Smell - Anything sewer-like, be it nature or urban 4) One Song - does 2112 by RUSH count? If not, Fight the Good Fight - Triumph 5) Number - Not really a great question, but I'd guess 42. 6) Rest of my life - Live, love, eat, sleep, travel.
Neil’s full of ginger! he’s so fun and, of course, very importantly, so intelligent and scientific! he’d be great to have as a good friend!!! :) 🌷🌼🌱🌷 my answer is hydrogen sulfide, also, said just the way he did - H2S. or SO2. i.e. as bad as rotten eggs. 😂
Precious souls! Hey Neil...let your curiosity begin with, Jesus, friend. The Gospel of John, when you're ready to allow, Jesus, to enlighten your understanding of Salvation through Repentance for our sins. You'll be thankful that, Jesus, did this for us!❤️
More songs about alien abductions you say? How about Mr. Spaceman by The Byrds? Woke up this morning with light in my eyes And then realized it was still dark outside It was a light coming down from the sky I don't know who or why Must be those strangers that come every night Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark I hope they get home alright Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along for a ride Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared Over my window, they'd written my name Said, "So long, we'll see you again" Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along for a ride Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along I won't do anything wrong Hey, Mr. Spaceman Won't you please take me along for a ride
Shelley Winter's was my 1st autobiograph in the lobby restaurant of a Chicago Marriott in the 80s...I was a kid my grandparents told me to go over and ask.
You have both already been abducted by aliens. It is obvious that you have had your neurons re-wired to induce a longing to return to the mother ship. That way you won't resist future abductions to make their jobs easier. Join up the dots, do your own research, don't believe mainstream media, and it all makes complete sense.
Come Sail Away is about alien abductions, but does Neil dGrasse Tyson know that Queen's '39 is about space travel and the relativistic time dilation effect?
In defense of Neil, it would not surprise me if a great many people did NOT know that Come Sail Away ended in an alien abduction; apparently half of the country didn't realize that the music of Bruce Springsteen is critical of the government and promotes liberal ideals.
Well I’d have to agree with the answer, cat! I have one, I love him!!! But he brought a mouse to the porch, I swept it back into the leaves. Boof goes and gets it sets it down outside the door so I know. Then proceeded to eat it. I was next to my husband, doing dishes, he’s laughing and I just could not look away! Impressive, amazing, and have much respect! He left the organs.
I thought he'd try for something like the permitivity of free space or avogadro's number or the like. Or perhaps the total number of universes that we are currently aware of...
