Russell Mitchem Yes, it is a rare ability to be able to describe such deep subjects so poetically, and clearly enough to allow even lay people to catch a glimmer of what the experts understand - to grasp the basics at least. And to be able to do so with complete honesty, even when the subject treads on some people's cherished beliefs without sounding confrontational is a feat. It almost makes me think that, like "journalist", "science communicator" ought to be a college major somewhere. A major combining a broad understanding of science with philosophy, and creative literature. I have heard detractors ask about what major research Tyson has done, as if that is all that matters. One Tyson has the potential to create a dozen Hawkings, or Krauss's, in his career.

This is one of the most artistic interpretations I've ever heard about the universe. I listen to this whenever I hit a point of regret, and I remember that we're all here for a greater purpose, and I tear up as if Neil is a voice inside me telling me that things will be alright. So I followed my gut, and I'm pursuing my dream of becoming a great artist. ✨

Does anyone else think that maybe... just maybe science should and is becoming a part of our popular culture again? I honestly don't understand how it ever wasn't. Science not only searches for the answers to our deepest questions, but is our way of exploring, as scientists are our explorers. How can we not realize that science NEEDS to be a part of our culture, part of the framework of our society. Please do your bit and embrace science as a part of our culture, and like the atoms formed in the depths of ancient stars, is a part of us.

I made this video for fun because I am passionate about science & nature which naturally led me to Neil deGrasse Tyson. I am proud to have made Neil's most popular video on the web, and will continue promoting the wonder of life and our understanding of our place in the the cosmos. I have received more heartwarming messages in my inbox than I could ever read, which makes me incredibly happy but also sorry that I can't respond to all of you.

This video is a prime example as to why I will always appreciate the value and power of the internet. Without the World Wide Web, I would not have been able to experience such exquisite beauty and insight. Yes, there are bad aspects to the internet, I’m not naive enough to deny that. But I feel that the internet gives more than it takes. That level of connection Neil was talking about in the video can be felt by anyone with a mere WiFi signal or cellular connection. The internet will always be one of my favorite places to learn about our world and discover new ideas. I am given some sense of that connection because of the 1’s and 0’s that travel across oceans to reach me.

This video has inspired me so much. I first saw this when I was 13 or 14 and it instantly hit me so hard. I watched it so many times after that, I had memorised the whole thing. I could revise the entire quote from memory without even actively having tried that. During this fase I watched Neil deGrasse Tyson's series and even read his book (that was quite difficult for a 14 year old with a different mother language) and wanted to become an astronomer. Sadly I had to give up on that because my math skills are far too poor, but I got into philosophy and fell in love. Now, at 18 I look back on this video and realise that what really got me from this video wasn't the science talk, but obviously the deeper meaning behind his words and the way he talks about life. In the end it was the philosophical message that inspired me so greatly. Thank you for this video! It actually had a big impact on my life I think :) I'll always have immense respect and admiration for those who pursue astronomy or astrophysics, you are heros.

I fell in love and at that moment i decided to major in physics in the future. btw i still struggle in math so don't worry haha

@@gregl3949 The most astounding fact is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on Earth, the atoms that make up the human body, are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones among them, went unstable in their later years. They collapsed and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy. Guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems, stars with orbiting planets. And those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up-many people feel small because they’re small and the universe is big-but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant, you want to feel like you’re a participant in the goings-on of activities and events around you. That’s precisely what we are, just by being alive.

Until classical physics is no longer sufficient to explain the world around us or the universe at large. Then you will have to question your faith in science. There is more, far more, than the explanations provided by contemporary scientists lauded as gods, such as Tyson. Most of astrophysics is speculation. No one can prove the Big Bang, no one can prove stars are being born anymore. We are just making guesses based on observations.
@doodelay
@doodelay 10 лет назад
eternalnate Whenever you see a star that is a different color than another it is because they are in different stages of their respective life cycles. We've seen stars forming, stars in the middle, and stars that have died. Our star is in the middle of its life cycle, it is considered yellow now but as it loses it's mass it's outer gaseous layers will escape further into space making it appear larger. Eventually it will deplete its fuel reserves, blast out its gaseous layers and explode. I would like to point out that assumptions based on observation is much more reliable than assumptions based on anything else. All intelligent men and women realize that assumptions are not a dirty word as long as they can be falsified, verified, and subject to change. And star formation matches those criteria quite flawlessly.

Them: "So you're an atheist." Me: "I am, yes." Them: "So you think when you die you're just going to rot? You don't think there's anything to look forward to after you die?" Me: "Let me tell you what's going to happen when I die, assuming my family follows the instructions I've left. What will happen is I will be cremated, and my ashes will be scattered into the waters off of Big Pine Key -- its one of the Florida Keys, one of my favorite places on Earth, in fact. My remains will thus become a part of the ocean. Some might be consumed by fish, or by worms, or by slugs. Other parts of it will dissolve and become part of the water itself. Some will drift down and join the sea-bottom muck. The point is, I'll basically become a part of the earth in a wider, greater way than I am right now." "And then, in about 5 billion years, the sun will expand. In so doing, it will cook the oceans into steam, and blast the atmosphere of the Earth into space. The Earth itself will follow shortly after that. Some of the Earth -- of which I am a part -- will be blasted into space, while the rest will become part of the mass of the now-expanded Sun. The parts of me that are sent into space will drift. Some will fall back into the Sun, or be captured by one of the planets on the edge of the solar system, but other parts will make it out." "My remains will become part of the universe in one of the most fundamental ways possible. And who knows. In billions of years, some atom that was once a part of me might end up being a part of some brand new life form that no human will ever know." "I don't know about you, but I think that's something to look forward to after I die."

Well I think there are a lot of great things one can do. Science is great; but it also is very powerful, and if not done, executed and applied with wisdom, it can bring forth as much evil as it could also bring forth good. That is just how it is. Any real scientist should have that type of respect for it, terrible, quaking respect. This is because science is knowledge, or a means to knowledge, and knowledge of a very excellent kind; thus also of a kind imbued with great power, and from that comes great responsibility to use that knowledge well, and also to ensure that the knowledge is not gained before or without what is needed to handle it well being in place first, and gained only through ethical method. (And avoiding the Nazi camps is the barest _minimum_ ethical standard.)

What Neil deGrasse Tyson said in this video is far more moving than any homily I ever heard back when I was a Catholic.

*****​ How exactly am I being a "pretentious cock"? I simply asked why religious people who don't want to have their beliefs challenged bother to watch videos they know will challenge their beliefs and then proceed to dislike the video. Sometimes they'll also leave comments about how they're so special that they happened to be born into the *ONE* religion that got it correct, *out of approximately 4,000*. They also claim they're so special that they happen to believe in the *RIGHT* god(s). I'm what you call an agnostic atheist. This means that because there is simply no tangible, scientific evidence for any of the *approximately 2,500 recorded gods throughout history*, atheists and I have absolutely no reason to believe in your god or anyone else's; however, we're humble enough to admit that we can't be absolutely certain about whether or not a god exists (this is the "agnostic" part). If you show me or any other atheist tangible, scientific evidence for the existence of your god or any of the other gods, we'll drop what we're doing and believe until we die. If you're a monotheist, you're an atheist, with respect to approximately 2,499 gods in which you fearlessly don't believe because your parents didn't teach you about them. Why, then, is it such a big deal when we atheists simply go one god further than you guys? Tell me again, who's being a pretentious cock?

*****​​ "You are not meant to understand." What the fuck does that even mean? Are you trying to say that you're better than me by telling me that you've achieved some "higher level of thinking" because your god decided that you were special enough to "understand"? If your god doesn't want me to go to hell, why doesn't he make the effort to help me "understand" scripture better so I'll believe in him again (I was raised Roman Catholic)? I guess your rebuttal is half-right: I will never try to "understand" by making up spooky, cryptic interpretations; for I am intellectually honest with myself and don't waste my life by basing it off a Bronze Age book written at a time when everyone thought Earth was flat, thought Earth was the center of the universe, and didn't know where the sun went at night. You're also right, in the sense that I may never understand why you guys don't see religion for the lie and scam that it is. Even individual Christians "understand" the Bible in different ways; for example, conservative Christians oftentimes cite Old Testament verses (and some New Testament verses) as justifications for their anti-gay stances and their view that women have nothing better to contribute to society other than pumping out several children and being stay-at-home mothers who basically live in the kitchen. On the other hand, liberal Christians cherry-pick the nice, happy verses from Psalms, Proverbs, the Gospel, and Jesus' message in the Sermon on the Mount (*Love everyone, no matter how different they may be from you*) as justifications for their acceptance of LGBT people and other oppressed minorities. If the Bible, Quran, and other holy books each claim to be the perfect, innerant word of God or whatever gods they claim to represent, why is it possible for two people of the *SAME RELIGION* to have *COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS*???

As a young fella, I became a fan of Carl Sagan. My Grandfather was an Engineer and concert Pianist. A brilliant man to say the least. I read many Sagan books passed on to me by my Grandfather and his knowledge he passed on to me was "question everything" and NDT, a student of Sagan, along with a collective of other scientists like Thorne, Cox, and Kaku, kept these questions alive.

@Yankees94
@Yankees94 9 лет назад
The truth of what know (and gaining) of the natural world is beautiful and good, but why should all that truth and beauty exist at all? I believe Truth is One and all truth that we find is grounded in God (Who is the Sheer Act of Truth Itself).
@MrJoystickid
@MrJoystickid 9 лет назад
David Viscuso The problem is that our concept of god is derived from our lack of understanding of the natural world 2000 years ago. This is why god has human qualities, we have anthropomorphized nature so that we could have a concept or a reason for things that have happened naturally. The gods of all religions ever created and then discarded by humans have been anthropomorphized. We know nothing of anything beyond the known universe and that is the only true fact when discussing this topic! To claim otherwise would be to lie to others and ourselves. What do we know of the starting point 13.5 billion years ago? Very little is the answer and should we be so arrogant as to presume or claim that this inconceivably large universe was created so we could live on this tiny bit of habitable land on a spec of dust suspended in a sunbeam?? Should we fuck, we should be humbled by the fact that we even exist with the ability to think and consider our place in this wondrous place. The god of religion is bullshit created by scared primitive humans...FACT!
@Yankees94
@Yankees94 9 лет назад
No. The Monotheistic God in the Bible (I am who I am) was never believed to be a being on top of Mount Olympus or a god in the sky. (Jews were not Greeks). For the God I'm talking about is not a being or a deity but rather the Pure Act of Existence Itself. And by the way, I didn't mention the Big Bang. Big Bang has nothing to do with anything. There could be tons of universes for all I know. But it doesn't the change the fact that the world as we know it is contingent and that is a mystery. Why should the Laws of Physics exist at all? How can there be a novel without an Author? How can there be a painting without an Artist?

He's almost there, but he didn't quite make it. The most astounding fact in the universe beyond the fact that anything exists at all, is that it has arranged itself to become self aware. We observe the universe and its wonders; chances are there are billions of other creatures beyond earth that are able to appreciate the universe as well. That to me is the most astounding fact.

If we could see the univers AND the energy moving in (from outside - far enough) it may look like brain cells connected to each others, and this pattern repeat in our own body and also the body we live on (Earth). I dont know if he is old enough but this universe may also be self-aware of himself. We say our possibility to think can act on things around us. So I can barely imagine what this universe can produce in term of reaction when he think or dreams like we do. Some may say the universe is god if you follow my perception, well I dont think so, it may be closer to be the reflection of god when we look at it with our own eyes and the way they works. (all this being a simple theory, I dont want to sound like I talk facts, its a feeling)

Michael Burkett Everyone has their own idea of what their 'most astounding fact' is. :) For me, it's hard to say what's the most astounding fact, because every single thing -- not even every living being, every single thing that exists (at least within our perception/observation) even the unknown -- the scale of things, the amount, wrath, and beauty of things, how far we think we've come with technology and as a race, but we truly and hardly know anything -- we don't even know what the Milky Way looks like because we're on the inside looking out. Man, I'm all over the place! Lol. I just want to know more! "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know." That quote holds such truth.

Ray Klish I understand that it is somewhat subjective, however in some ways it is measurable to the extent that tracing atoms to the beginnings is less impressive and more arithmetic versus the idea that anything even exists at all; or the fact that atoms have arranged themselves in a manner that have eventually evolved to our consciousness. Yes, there may be other great ideas, nonetheless I don't think his astounding fact is as impressive as so many others that could be mentioned.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. The remnants of dead stars is not only what make of the universe but it's also what makes up all life including human life. We don't live in the universe we are the universe, Just as much as a planet or a star. This most astounding fact is why I was able to find my spirituality after years of meaningless existence. I truly feel like we are the eternal universe. We are all one. If everyone knew and truly believed that we are all literally one organism, We could have peace on earth. "The only reality for man is a human reality. And the vision of humanity will become clear only when man looks into himself. He who looks outside, dreams. He who looks inside, awakens." -Carl Jung- By looking up and out into the Universe we are looking into our own souls. If that doesn't make you feel... Something unexplainable, Then I don't know what could.

She gave us the opportunity to see her beauty, even if it’s just for the blink of an eye. A million years to the universe is 1 second to us. We are all, universally beautiful. Age, ethnicity, physique. All of us. Yes, even you reading this. We are all so rich in the ability to be able to call this Galaxy, this tiny, itty bitty speck of dust in the vast, unlimited, scary, gorgeous universe......home.
