American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson talks to CNN's Don Lemon about six new galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, working on the frontier of science and why there is nothing wrong with not knowing.

“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”

Came here to say this.
Like COVID…
Like the efficacy of the “Vaccines”?

Words to live by
The universe is deadly and beautiful all at the same time.
As is life.

just like life
Knowing that you don’t know is the beginning of discovery.
The have not reached their prime yet
“Discovery is what you’re doing when you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Dr. Tyson is very quotable.
And then here are those that think they know everything
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6.
“Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, religion no longer offers an explanation for anything important.”
Christopher Hitchens
True that.
Ignorant statement.
I miss Hitchens
@Cyrus The Great can you show me on the doll where Jesus touched you?
The problem is not wanting to know
The more you know the less you know. So when someone tells you they have all the answers, run.
2:51 Nerds!
First, it’s nice to see someone had a little grace and didn’t cancel Don outright. Hopefully that’ll be paid forward and/or shown to others.
Second, Neil was, is, and will always be the king of nerds.
Totally made my day. More like this. NDT is like the Andy Rooney of space. He can be serious if needed but we don’t need that from everyone.
Andy Rooney??? There’s a very weird and very random comparison.
Are you high? This man knows nothing and never gives a clear explanation of space to anyone. We have some amazing telescope a million miles from Earth? Explain to me then why we don’t have ONE SINGLE photo or video of the globe from space, they are all (admitted to be by NASA) composites and CGI, strung together in Photoshop and made into a 3D globe using computers……… Neil has literally turned down every interview regarding this stuff. He’s a JOKE
Captain Picard: “That’s hardly a scientific observation, Commander.”
Data: “Captain, the most elementary and valuable statement in science… The beginning of wisdom is: I do not know. I do not know what that is, sir.”
We rented the Hubble for the night and although the rez wasn’t like the Weber it was more intimate than I could ever imagine only seeing it besides a school book!~ I squealed like a little girl! I love that there seems to be no boundaries. That’s a lot to wrap around a human dum-dum head!~ I love that you also have make space for new discoveries and diff hypothesis!!
This interviewer is a cool guy 😆 He makes me laugh.
Yeah, Don is a cool dude.
Funny, intrigued, and intellectual interview!! I love these two! Science is so much fun when you make it fun and engaging. 👍👏😅😂
I agree! Making things like science and math fun and engaging is really important. Everyone likes to have fun so when learning is fun everyone benefits! 😀
lol! I adore Neil! He’s such a great science communicator. Nothing wrong with not knowing something. Exploring that is how we learn! 😀
No, he’s not. He’s a moron who knows nothing and always acts like this. A guy off the street could have delivered the same amount of BS and it was hilarious how Don Lemon was mocking his lack of knowledge!
Notice how he kept fiddling with his shaky fingers and touching his ear? Dead giveaway sign of a liar.
@8bitAK Are you a guy off the street that can show more knowledge than NDT? Even if what you say is just BS? C’mon. Let your actions speak louder than just flapping your hands on a keyboard. 😛
@8bitAKHe was clearly adjusting his earpiece…so clearly you’re the liar here.
Im going to tell my professor this when final exams come around
The Keck observatory and others did this more that 20 years ago, but this was all discounted. I’m glad to hear it’s now being taken, perhaps, seriously. We will soon realize that the universe is not only “smooth-ish” on a very large scale in space, but also in time. This will be a big revelation. I’m saying that the universe would look roughly the same if you you moved 100000 mega-parsecs from here, but it would also look roughly the same (on large scales) if you lived 100 trillion years ago.
“Don’t get things twisted, because I’ve had that done to me….” nawww.. you meant what you said, Lemon.. It was honest.. you honestly said what you said..
Nice to hear the shout out to engineers. Usually we only get blamed when things don’t work as designed. Thank you Neil!
I absolutely love Neil. My favorite nerd.
Very good answers from Neil. Not having control means fear in many human situations, in science that’s what people are looking for in order to expand control.
I love this guy’s honest no BS answers 😎
