  1. Thanks for having me on guys, this was a blast! And some really kind comments in here too. Neil – as I said, I'd love to have you jump on the subway and join me for a @CoolWorldsPodcast episode if you can!

  2. The stars don't need to eject material in an opposing direction to the rotation in order to slow down the rotation, it's enough if the angular momentum of the entire system is preserved, and the particles just go outward on average. I'm not sure though how strong such a slow-down would be, and if it would be sufficient to explain the observed effect.

  3. Neil please answer this. I love your shows in the UK. If I drop a golf ball from the top of a 20 storey building the ball will contact the ground. Is this due only to the fact that the earth is coming up to meet the ball at 9.8m/s 2 and very little to do with gravity?

  4. Remember when Neil gave the analogy of having 100 people flip a coin and that the odds are 1 person will flip heads 100 times… well… isn’t there a flaw there. It assumes the last two people standing have a zero chance of flipping tails. If they both flip tails, no universe with life. Sooo we are special. Thank you.

  5. People guided by the researchers governed by the scientists must strive to build a scientifically innovative and productive, human friendly and environmentally friendly, democratically-economically-
    socially pogressive and culturally transformative dignified human world of peace and harmony where human beings would live with Love, liberty, justice, dignity, harmony, Brotherhood, humanity, joy and peace as their basic human rights….

  6. I’m not a Patreon member but please debunk the new conspiracy theory that the Earth has expanded in the last 600m years. It flatly denies plate tectonics ever existed and the reason the continents “came apart” was because the Earth started smaller and expanded like a balloon.
    Actually it’s an old theory before plate tectonics were discovered but coming back to haunt us like dark ages 2.0

  7. @Apple (🍏) 🤝 @FutureFarming1
    💻 + 🚜 = 🌮 + 💵💵..
    Compras una finca muy grande y crea una nueva economía por tú. Mucho dinero con producción de comida económico.

  8. #startalk i bought backyard telescope (cheap) but now my problem is i don't know what to try find from the sky…
    So can you make episode of "what can you find with even binoculars" and add to that what can you find if you know what you are looking at.
    Pretty please 🥺

  9. I’d love a mission like voyager. With the capability to send back very very high quality images being a portion of the way there. So closer shots of andromeda, or othegr close ish things to us

  10. Dr. Kipping is one of my favorite YouTube narrators out there. I LOVE his Cool Worlds videos. And, not in an offensive way, he puts me to sleep with his videos. I usually need to watch his videos 2 or 3 times, giving him those extra views, to catch it all as I usually fall asleep during them. But, nit in a boring way. His voice is just so damn soothing it puts me to sleep!

    Another great episode Neil and Lord Nice!

  11. I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson because he's never bought into the hippie science for show (e.g. JRE guests, Rogan himself, youtube videos about nonsense…etc.). He's a man of science, character, and integrity.

  12. If the human race was transplanted to a water planet with very little land. How many years/generations would pass before humans would become fully underwater dwelling? Would our earth origins always affect our ability to evolve. Or would we adapted so far to the point that our original planets origins would disappear completely?
    Is earth or earth type planet actually humans origin planet?

  13. 18:14 Where Sol was formed is most important in determining the anomalous Gold content of our planet. Were we lucky? Was our cloud of genesis Gold rich? If so how :-) 25:20 Think of a Merry Go Round, throwing kids off! wow that's dark :-)
