Quantum Physics 101 with Neil deGrasse Tyson

When you "sit around alone at home", that's the Pity-particle. Not very well-known, in more ways than one.

I always love hearing Neil talk about science. He makes it fun and easy to understand The problem that many professors have in colleges is that they have a tendency to think that everyone in the room has the same level of knowledge as them Neil doesn't talk over peoples heads. He talks on a level that makes it easy to understand and seems to enjoy doing it

Which concept in Quantum Physics are you most intrigued by?

Man I love these two. I’m learning more than they ever taught us in school. These two are legends love you guys so much amazing shows

Thank you for explaining a bit more about Higgs Boson. I have taken a few university courses on quantum mechanics so I only have a tiny familiarity on what is really a Masters or PhD level of knowledge. But your one line about a field that affects mass begins to make me realize where this is going and why science really wants to explore this particle.

Omg, I was watching a video about the Higgs Boson today, and thought “It would be amazing if StarTalk made an episode talking about it”. Few hours later… I learned earlier today that the Higgs Boson is responsible for barely 2% of our mass, is that true? I hope you talked about it on this video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved watching this progress with Chuck. Chuck is quick whitted and brilliant in his own way as most comedians are. But the best part is watching him after a series of just open conversations (not lectures, not seminars, but conversations) begin to have a deeper understanding of the universe.

I wish all science teachers were like Neil DeGrasse Tyson! My science teachers were unenthusiastic and dull. I'm now 30 years of age and learning so much more about our world and universe with such an insatiable appetite for knowledge. I thank you for expanding my knowledge and understanding.

I love the last piece about "tweaking theories" As an ex-christian I run into people occasionally saying stuff like "science changes its mind all the time" and they just don't get what's happening. Like newton's understanding of physics worked just fine to an extent, but Einstein's theory of relativity explained it better and worked in some instances where Newton's didn't quite work. But we're definitely still learning and tweaking. It's not like we throw out everything Newton figured out because of the next thing

Imagine hitchhikers guide to the galaxy but the guide is startalk explaining everything
