The part about Newton is my favorite part.

video is 10 Questions for Neil deGrasse Tyson

everyone doesn't know this, but they do now.

 

[brblx]

that guy has an uncanny ability to make anything uninteresting.

 

[Delita]

I saw this video of his a while back and thought it was pretty good:

I thought for sure you were referring to Jack Horkheimer.

I mean he was... the Star Hustler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JEMWN8SKJg LOL

 

[nonameo]

lol what a guy.

 

[Jeff7]

Good stuff. :thumbsup:



Also......what the hell is with needing to have 500 different camera angles for one goddamn interview?


Edit: Dammit, I just spent about an hour listening to some of his lectures.

On the 500 camera angles: [seinfeld] Showmanship George, showmanship. /seinfeld

On the hour listening to his lectures: Here's a 1 1/2 hour long interview with him I just watched:

Excellent, thank you. Finally, an organization which realized that Youtube now allows >10m clips.

You're welcome.

 

[So]

that guy has an uncanny ability to make anything interesting.

You had a couple of extra characters inadvertently in there. I fixed it for ya though....

 

[eits]

ndgt is the man. i would enjoy anything that dude talked about.

I liked when this guy would appear on the Screen Savers from time to time: http://mkaku.org/

 

[Crono]

He's a good spokesperson for science, physics, and astronomy.

I've seen him on Nova/ScienceNOW, The Daily Show and Colbert Report, and a a bunch of guest appearances (including Stargate, lol).

He's always interesting and gives good explanations that laypeople like me can understand. He works at my fave museum in NYC (and the world)

How much of a nerd do you have to be to have a favorite astrophysicist?

That guy rocks.. He makes me want to read stuff by Newton..

It was also an introduction to that guy in the Mideast who claimed that mathematics was the work of the devil.

Add that to the list of people who should be erased from history.
