Neil DeGrasse Tyson Quotes

The great tragedy is that they’re removing art completely, not because they’re putting more science in, but because they can’t afford the art teachers or because somebody thinks it’s not useful. An enlightened society has all of this going on within it. It’s part of what distinguishes what it is to be human from other life forms on Earth - that we have culture Picture Quote #1

In the movie, the stars above the ship bear no correspondence to any constellations in a real sky. Worse yet, while the heroine bobs... we are treated to her view of this Hollywood sky-one where the stars on the right half of the scene trace the mirror image of the stars in the left half. How lazy can you get? Picture Quote #1

On Friday the 13th, April 2029, an asteroid large enough to fill the Rose Bowl as though it were an egg cup will fly so close to Earth that it will dip below the altitude of our communication satellites. We did not name this asteroid Bambi. Instead, we named it Apophis, after the Egyptian God of darkness and death Picture Quote #1

Every account of a higher power that I’ve seen described, of all religions that I’ve seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power. When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence Picture Quote #1

So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were ‘reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.’ Picture Quote #1

The tenacity of life is mind-boggling. We keep finding it where no one thought it could be Picture Quote #1

The day that you stop looking - because you’re content God did it - I don’t need you in the lab. You’re useless on the frontier of understanding the nature of the world Picture Quote #1

We are not simply in the universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the universe to figure itself out - and we have only just begun Picture Quote #1

There is no true understanding of Biology without Chemistry. And there’s no true understanding of Chemistry without Physics Picture Quote #1

I want and need the artist to take me to new places, and the new place that Van Gogh took me not the sky as it is but the sky as he felt it. And the more of us that feel the universe, the better off we will be in this world Picture Quote #1

If your ego starts out, ‘I am important, I am big, I am special,’ you’re in for some disappointments when you look around at what we’ve discovered about the universe. No, you’re not big. No, you’re not. You’re small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that’s limited on Earth Picture Quote #1

Italy valued cathedrals while Spain valued explorers. So worldwide, five times as many people speak Spanish than Italian Picture Quote #1

On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would transform the world. Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec 25, 1642 Picture Quote #1

Not enough of our society is trained how to understand and interpret quantitative information. This activity is a centerpiece of science literacy to which we should all strive-the future health, wealth, and security of our democracy depend on it. Until that is achieved, we are at risk of making under-informed decisions that affect ourselves, our communities, our country, and even the world Picture Quote #1

Merry Christmas to all. A Pagan holiday (BC) becomes a Religious holiday (AD). Which then becomes a Shopping holiday (USA) Picture Quote #1

Santa knows Physics: Of all colors, Red Light penetrates fog best. That’s why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the gig Picture Quote #1

WhenIWasYourAge: We had to open all doors by ourselves. None of them knew we were coming Picture Quote #1

I don’t want people to say, ‘Something is true because Tyson says it is true.’ That’s not critical thinking Picture Quote #1

When NASA says they’re going into space, they don’t mean up and back. They mean orbit Picture Quote #1

I’m not criticizing the science in Star Wars. That’s a waste of everybody’s time Picture Quote #1

The whole society has to recognize the importance of the value in embracing what science is going into the 21st Century. Otherwise, we might as well start packing and moving back into the cave right now, because that’s where we’ll end up Picture Quote #1

When I needed to overcome the low expectations of others or the bias that would be expressed in one circumstance or another, I’d keep on keeping on. And I climb over the obstacle, go around it, dig under it, fly over it. That’s what kept me going. Otherwise I would have never been an astrophysicist Picture Quote #1

Companies want to innovate. Companies that don’t innovate wither on the vine. The connection between STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and the financial stability of a nation is what needs to established Picture Quote #1

Access to science is greater than ever before. There are more vehicles out there that grant the public access to science. Not to mention the Internet Picture Quote #1

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 of the gravity that’s actually operating on the universe. We call that dark matter. It really should be called dark gravity. We don’t know what that is Picture Quote #1

As children we all wonder - we wonder all the time. And that gets lost in adulthood. It gets beaten out, it gets filtered out or diluted out Picture Quote #1

I want to create the airplane that flies in the rarified atmosphere of Mars. This is what galvanizes a generation to want to become scientists and engineers in the first place, not we need a scientist to develop a plane that’s 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the one your parents flew Picture Quote #1

Intelligent life can’t be all that common because it’s really rare on Earth and especially since we define ourselves to be intelligent. But in the eyes of an alien coming here who has the technology to make it here, they might observe us and conclude that there’s no sign of intelligent life on Earth Picture Quote #1

You will never find people who truly grasp the cosmic perspective such as the entire community of astrophysicists leading nations into battle. No, that doesn’t happen. When you have a cosmic perspective, there’s this little speck called Earth and you say you’re going to do what? You’re on this side of a line in the sand and you want to kill people for what? Picture Quote #1

So not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing Picture Quote #1
