Most gravity has no known origin. Is it some exotic particle? Nobody knows. Is dark energy responsible for expansion of the universe?… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
It is astonishing to realize that until Galileo performed his experiments on the acceleration of gravity in the early seventeenth century, nobody… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
Once you've got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“If all mass has gravity, does all gravity have mass? We don’t know. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with the matter, and it’s… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
We account for all the matter and energy that we're familiar with, measure up how much gravity it should have, it's one-sixth… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
When asked about which scientist he'd like to meet, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, "Isaac Newton. No question about it. The smartest person… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
Some claim evolution is just a theory. As if it were merely an opinion. The theory of evolution, like the theory of… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
We went to the moon using just Newton's laws of motion and gravity. Newtonian dynamics we call it. So then we find… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“Another class of universal truths is the conservation laws, where the amount of some measured quantity remains unchanged no matter what. The… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“At the end of the day, no matter how confident we are in our observations, our experiments, our data, or our theories,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“The gravitational waves of the first detection were generated by a collision of black holes in a galaxy 1.3 billion light-years away,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
I don't want to go into space because of war. I think we would if it was triggered. If China said they want to… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
In the movie, the stars above the ship bear no correspondence to any constellations in a real sky. Worse yet, while the heroine bobs...… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
... informed ignorance provides the natural state of mind for research scientists at the ever-shifting frontiers of knowledge. People who believe themselves ignorant of… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
If you seek only easy problems to solve, then ultimately, there'll be nothing about you to distinguish yourself from others. — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That's just not true. In… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
New generations of humans inherit the acquired discoveries of generations past, allowing cosmic insight to accumulate without limit. Each discovery of science therefore adds… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
I've said multiple times that the world's first trillionaire is going to be the person who exploits the resources of asteroids, the natural resources… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
They [scientists of centuries past] call on God only from the lonely and precarious edge of incomprehension. Where they feel certain about their explanations,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
We explore our environment, more than we are compelled to utter poetry, when we're toddlers. We start doing that later. Before that happens, every… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
Science surrounds you. It's not something that you can step aside, step over or push out of your way because you were never good… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
The idea that God resides in the unknown is what philosophers call the God of the gaps. And we have this thing called science,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share
