What is the value of curiosity? Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down with William Shatner to explore the nature of spacetime, Star Trek, human curiosity, loneliness, and more. How would warp drive work?
What is William Shanter's favorite Star Trek episode? Learn about the question Stephen Hawking had for Bill and the secret power of science fiction. Bill talks about what it was like to watch Neil Armstrong walk on the moon after Star Trek was originally canceled. We discuss Artemis, our return to the moon, and how we can create a base there. Will there be enough water on the moon for people to use?
Neil breaks down how water can be used for fuel and how humans have harnessed the power of physics. We discuss Bill’s new documentary You Can Call Me Bill and some philosophical points about science. Are electrons lonely? We explore the difference between being lonely and being alone and the nature of curiosity. Is human curiosity a double-edged sword? Is there anything left on Bill’s bucket list? Plus, Bill asks if living beings like mycelia could be analogs for the universe's structure.
Why is it spacetime and not space and time separately? What is the vacuum of space made of? Discover virtual particles and how the fabric of spacetime may be a web made of wormholes. We break down dark energy and dark matter, and why their names may be misleading. To end, we discuss old age and wisdom: do they go together?

00:05. "Space by itself and time by itself only have meaning when they are brought together as one concept ... spacetime. The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." But what if the cosmos CAN be described in a way that makes intuitive sense to everyone? Suppose the entire cosmos is actually kinetic involving nothing more than matter colliding naturally with other matter? The entire cosmos can be accurately modeled as solid matter (made almost exclusively of protons and fused protons!) being continuously influenced by various particle fields. It's the permeative particle fields that cause gravity ... gravity in a location is caused by the permeative particle emissions of the surrounding cosmos, and an object's gravitational field is in the form of stronger downward permeative particle fields within the space around the object, a phenomenon caused by nothing more complicated than the object's mass absorbing permeative particle momentum. Gravity might be caused predominantly by neutrinos and their collective particle momentum ... but it likely also involves many other particles called sub-neutrinos that are smaller than neutrinos. The core model of the active cosmos is black holes creating particles through mass emittance (including protons and neutrinos), and protons coalescing to form stars, the highly massive of which collapse to form black holes. It's the permeative particles that cause gravitation that is both mass-proportional and volume-proportional and whose influence propagates at the speed of light (at the speed of the permeative particles). Gravitational fields are caused by the repeated eclipsing of two black holes (or other critical-density celestial objects), with the waveform of recorded gravitational waves representing the series of permeative particle fields bursts whose each burst is caused by a single eclipse event of the pair. causeofgravity.com/ ✨🖖🏻🤓🖖🏻✨

Mr. Shatner has just helped me clarify my own thoughts on Humanity, Trees, and Loneliness. For many years, I have seen what we do to the planet and each other, and it breaks my heart. I never thought about it as curiousity before. That's so perfect. We're curious animals; but we don't know when to stop. Bringing up the fact that there is slightly more positive than negative matter does give me hope that we might carry on. I have often thought that Mother Earth would be so much better off without us. I don't understand why we don't realize that we can't survive without her and act accordingly. I am 63. I have watched Shatner almost my whole life. I've had many opinions of him over the years. Right now, he has my deepest respect and love. If I make it to 93 and above, I can only hope to still be wondering and asking questions like he does. Thank you, Bill and Neil.

@moon22sister1 Месяц назад

Loneliness is a form of hunger. Not enough thoughts to consume. We have world leaders from whom we cannot learn anything. We have no "elders" who impart wisdom from the past to allow us the energy and knowledge "calories" to travel into the future. We are dragging ourselves into the future with technology but not with thought. Imagination is a good substitute for the hunger of wisdom but it's an incomplete food for the mind. However, I feel that we are here because we are supposed to be here and we are here to eventually complete the Universe, learn how to find and solve the mysteries and please our Mother Earth in doing so.

Most of humanity are like that. That's also the big problem with democracy. Politics caters to the simple needs of the masses and scientific discovery is often seen as an elitist hobby. I personally have no problem stating that every human life does not have equal value. Many just exist and add damn near zero value to the progress of man. Quite the contrary. Men like Bill are still adding value at the ripe old age of 93. In my country there's a relatively good educational system, because I believe that curiosity has to develop at a young age.

It's 2:58 am Monday morning and I couldn't pull myself away from this - even though I have to be at work in a few hours. I absolutely loved this exchange. I wouldn't call it an interview, but an exchange of thoughts. William Shatner is an inspiration to the curious as well as a national treasure to all. One can be intellegent without wisdom, but cannot have wisdom without being intellegent. His unending curiosity fed his intellegence, and that intellegence allowed him to recognize the opportunities from which he learned and gained wisdom.

I think his whole experience was ruined by the antics of Bezos and his buddies in the background popping champagne and acting like they were at a locker room championship celebration while Bill was trying to express his emotions about the journey. Perhaps I'm being too harsh on the celebration participants, but I just felt it was disrespectful. Even though Bill got to finish his thoughts on going into space, it was quite rude and disrespectful how Bezos totally blew him off initally, mid sentence, and asked for a bottle of champagne and proceeded to spray the revelers, leaving Bill standing there seeming uncomfortable.

He claimed the station was rotating three times too fast therefore passengers would weigh triple their earth weight. 1) Artificial gravity goes with the *square* of RPMs. If the station rotated 3 times too fast, the passengers would weigh nine times as much. 2) Do the actual calculations on a 150 meter radius space station making a revolution each 61 seconds and you get 1/6 earth gravity.

The music was cribbed from the Contact movie, and not even Patrick Stewart doing the voice acting can erase those abominably cringy cartoon people with their doe-eyed Disney faces. Original Cosmos used real human actors, and made points that are still very relevant. Someone should ask him to clarify the requirements for a planet to be a planet. I don't remember reading that Pluto has a lot of debris and junk in orbit, but rather, it and Charon are orbiting each other as both of them orbit the Sun (I think; correct me if I've misunderstood that). Earth, on the other hand, has so much crap in orbit - lost tools, dead satellites, and other stuff in orbit that we don't need to be in orbit, and Earth hasn't cleared it.

27:00 it's getting good!!! One of my favorite verses concludes: "there is a friend who is closer than a brother" and the wiseman who wrote that is (as far as I'm concerned) referring to the spirit of God, to a sincere and humble man. ❤ That interpretation is consistent with the rest and something we must never let ourselves forget in the rush, the needs, and the battles of every day.

@ismailnyeyusof3520 Месяц назад

What a wonderful Star talk episode by Neil deGrasse and his most enigmatic guest William Shatner. The most profound words I took away, paraphrasing a little bit, was ‘everyone has a story, about something that we don’t know’. I wish we can all value each other, especially those different from us, as we can always learn something that we didn’t from other people. Thank you Neil and Bill for helping a 68 year old learn from the conversation between yourselves.

@newmankidman5763 Месяц назад

Imagine, you are 68 and William Shatner is old enough to be your father but he is still young. William Shatner's youth inspires me to want to live to a very old age

@rayconstantine6761 Месяц назад

That was one amazing conversation. I watched the newly released episodes of Star Trek when I was a teenager. I’m now 72, and Mr. Shatner is still at it. I agree with Neil in two respects especially. One was that we need many more humans on this planet like Bill. The other, I can especially appreciate. “What’s the point of getting older unless you have wisdom to show for it.” It’s difficult - if not impossible - to imagine wisdom and curiosity not being intertwined. I’m still learning.

What a delight and pleasure to listen to the conversation between the legendary Bill Shatner (a hero of mine since I became a Star Trek fan by watching Star Trek TOS at the age of 5) and the great astrophysicist Neill deGrass Tyson! It's rare these days to get this level of phylosophical/scientific discussions and it is just so enriching. Bill Shatner, his curiosity about nature, about life, his wisdom, his level of knowledge, what a Man, what an inspiration.

@eriolduterion8855 Месяц назад

As I listened to this wonderful interview, I was struck by the HUGE number of absolutely interesting items on display in the background. It would be a great video, and an insight into Dr. Tyson's life, if he could be persuaded to give a commentary on what they are, what they represent to him, how acquired, what they have inspired, or what memories they cue. And, as a book lover, what books he has gracing his shelves, that he has thought valuable enough to retain.

@robvangessel3766 Месяц назад

I completely relate to the difference between being alone and being lonely. I've been in the biggest crowds and felt lonely. Bereft of the people I'd wished I'd had in my life. But when I'm working on my own stuff, I need to be "alone", but I'm vigorously alive with posititive energy as I create and journey ideas. I think the brain compartmentalizes EVERYTHING, and it depends on the forces of nature v. nurture in your early years as to how you chemically and emotionally react to these things later in life.

I still have the same curious drive that I had as a kid, put me out in the bush, and I just want to explore. Give me a telescope, I won't put it down, a good book, I tend to read till I fall asleep.How can you learn or appreciate anything without curiosity ?
