Neil DeGrasse Tyson Quotes

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

I claim that all those who think they can cherry-pick science simply don’t understand how science works. That’s what I claim. And if they did, they’d be less prone to just assert that somehow scientists are clueless Picture Quote #1

Computers have proved to be formidable chess players. In fact, they’ve beaten our top human chess champions Picture Quote #1

In any city with lots of skyscrapers, lots of skyline, the moon seems bigger than it is. It’s called the moon illusion Picture Quote #1

Stephen Hawking’s been watching too many Hollywood movies. I think the only kind aliens in Hollywood are the ones created by Steven Spielberg - ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and ‘E.T.,’ for example. All other aliens are trying to suck our brains out Picture Quote #1

Science, and its impact on a person’s livelihood is the common denominator Picture Quote #1

There is a growing awareness that we’re losing our technological competitive edge. I think there’s an awareness that we’re losing our leadership, and that maybe our self image over the past several decades has been a little bit delusional Picture Quote #1

I want to know what dark matter and dark energy are comprised of. They remain a mystery, a complete mystery. No one is any closer to solving the problem than when these two things were discovered Picture Quote #1

God displayed a sense of humor when he configured the region between our legs an entertainment complex built around a sewage system Picture Quote #1

For most of human civilization, the pace of innovation has been so slow that a generation might pass before a discovery would influence your life, culture or the conduct of nations Picture Quote #1

It may be that our cosmic curiosity... is a genetically-encoded force that we illuminate when we look up and wonder Picture Quote #1

As an educator, I try to get people to be fundamentally curious and to question ideas that they might have or that are shared by others. In that state of mind, they have earned a kind of inoculation against the fuzzy thinking of these weird ideas floating around out there Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to lead a space frontier, it has to be government; it’ll never be private enterprise. Because the space frontier is dangerous, and it’s expensive, and it has unquantified risks. And under those conditions, you cannot establish a capital-market evaluation of that enterprise. You can’t get investors Picture Quote #1

Dark matter and dark energy are two things we measure in the universe that are making things happen, and we have no idea what the cause is Picture Quote #1

Right now people think God is dark energy and dark matter, the spirit. Go ahead and think that, but the day we can tell you exactly what it is - that it’s gremlins in the vacuum of space or whatever - then what’s your recourse at that point? Picture Quote #1

Einstein’s theory, we know that it fails. In advance, we know it fails. So that a deeper understanding of nature is awaiting us Picture Quote #1

If you want to come behind the Bible and explain everything scientifically, then you’re denying God’s power over miracles Picture Quote #1

Cosmos’ wouldn’t deserve its place in primetime evening network television were it not a landscape on which compelling stories were told. People, when they watch TV in the evening, want to see stories, and science simply tells the best stories Picture Quote #1

Science is a philosophy of discovery; intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance... Something fundamamental is going on in people’s minds when they confront things they don’t understnd Picture Quote #1

Keep in mind that if you take a tour through a hospital and look at every machine with on and off switch that is brought into the service of diagnosing the human condition, that machine is based on principles of physics discovered by a physicist in a machine designed by an engineer Picture Quote #1

Scientists in different disciplines don’t speak the same language. They publish in different journals. It’s like the United Nations: You come together, but no one speaks the same language, so you need some translators Picture Quote #1

Everyone has all different experiences in school. I just know that throughout my life, at no time did any teacher ever point to me and say, hey. He’ll go far Picture Quote #1

If you’re scientifically literate, the world looks very different to you, and that understanding empowers you Picture Quote #1

I always try to get people a different outlook. When you do that, people take ownership of the information. They don’t ever have to reference me because, I’d like to believe as an educator, I’m empowering them to have those thoughts themselves Picture Quote #1

Philosophically, the universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we’ve got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it’s one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe - maybe it’s countless other universes Picture Quote #1

The history of exploration has never been driven by exploration. But Columbus himself was a discoverer. So was Magellan. But the people who wrote checks were not. They had other motivations Picture Quote #1

Just think for how long humanity was controlled by mystical, magical thinking - the diseases and suffering that led to. We managed to survive, but just barely. It wasn’t pretty Picture Quote #1

You could do math early, but there are no brilliant 16-year-old novelists. They don’t know the human condition yet Picture Quote #1

I claim that space is part of our culture. You’ve heard complaints that nobody knows the names of the astronauts, that nobody gets excited about launches, that nobody cares anymore except people in the industry. I don’t believe that for a minute Picture Quote #1

The idea that science is just some luxury that you’ll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself Picture Quote #1
