Description

Renowned astrophysicist and author Neil deGrasse Tyson talks to Ronny Chieng about his latest book, “Merlin’s Tour of the Universe,” which revisits scientific questions from 35 years ago with 21st-century answers. He also discusses the importance of immigrant contributions to the American scientific community, why you should avoid clickbait internet science, and the resilience of scientists, no matter who is in office. #DailyShow #NeildeGrasseTyson #science Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

This was hillarious. As a fan of Neil and Ronny, i laughed, smiled and enjoyed throughout. What an interview. Ronny did the best to bring the best from Neil.

Ronny killed this interview. The questions from twitter were the best part.

"I don't care as an educator, you bring the questions on."- Social studies teacher here and lover of science and yeah, sometimes I get questions that make me wonder if they got dropped on their head as a baby but honestly as long as they're asking questions and pursuing knowledge and further depth of understanding, I'm happy.

15:27 "Can we drink raw milk or not?" "Oh, you can drink anything that's liquid" That's what you get for asking that question to a physicist 😂
