Cosmic Queries Potpourri with Neil deGrasse Tyson (Full Episode)

Presenting the exclusive, YouTube video version of our full podcast episode, “Cosmic Queries: Rocket Science is Hard,” complete with a few glitches that got edited out of the podcast! Now you can watch host Neil deGrasse Tyson as he answers fan questions about Antares, Rosetta, Philae, the Space Shuttle and more with the help of Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye the Science Guy and comic co-host Chuck Nice. You’ll learn about the differences between ignoring known risks, as with Challenger and Columbia, and underestimating difficulties, as may be the case with Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. Find out how Scott Hubbard helped change NASA’s mantra of “Faster, Better, Cheaper” – which led to the failed Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander missions – and replaced it with the successes of Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity. The trio also discusses the possibility of finding life on comets and asteroids, the growing concern over artificial intelligence and robot uprisings, and the human drive to explore the unknown regardless of the risk.

The first time Bill Nye the Science Guy was our guest host was when Neil deGrasse Tyson was working on the COSMOS series for FOX. We now present the YouTube video version of that full podcast episode, with guest host Bill Nye, co-host Eugene Mirman and guest Astro Mike Massimino having a world of fun answering your questions, sans Neil. Bill explains how electromagnetism works, who Michael Faraday was, what NASA’s MAVEN mission will be searching for when it reaches Mars, and why you might not want to wear magnets on your wrists to improve your health. You’ll get updates on the state of 3-D printing, liquid metal batteries, carbon nanotubes and super conductivity. Find out how NASA shields astronauts from radiation, what would happen to a fish (real or Swedish) in a giant water bubble floating in space, and how spacecraft move through the void without anything to “push against.” Join the gang as they speculate on warp drives, light speed travel and teleportation. Plus, the Science Guy puts on his engineering hat to discuss the biggest challenge faced by mankind today: climate change.

A fan wants to know what a rocket pushes against in space to gain momentum or navigate. Luckily, we’ve got NASA astronaut Mike Massimino and Bill Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society, in studio to answer this Cosmic Query. Mike explains how the Hubble Space Telescope, which has no fuel on board, uses gyroscopic reaction wheels to change position in accordance with Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion. He also tells co-host Eugene Mirman how the Space Shuttle and the ISS use thrusters to maneuver. But it’s guest host Bill Nye the Science Guy who explains why “What is the rocket is pushing against?” is the wrong question entirely.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and co-host Chuck Nice explore the challenges we will face exploring and colonizing Mars. According to Bill, the engineering problems are easy compared to breathing, staying warm and powering solar panels when you’re that far from the sun. But it’s when Chuck questions why we’re going at all that Bill Nye gets really excited…

Bill Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society, is back as guest host for an episode about a subject near and dear to his heart: funding space exploration. Together with comic co-host Eugene Mirman and guest Astro Mike Massimino, they answer questions from our fans about the value of planetary science, from innovation to inspiration. You’ll learn how NASA works with contractors and why the privatization of space still costs taxpayers money. You’ll also explore why for every $1 we spend on NASA, we get back $3.60. Find out about specific programs, including Curiosity, a manned mission to Titan, crowdfunded space telescopes like the Arkyd project, the Cassini probe, robots on the moon and so much more. Mike discusses how his two Space Shuttle flights to repair the Hubble Space Telescope helped support the discovery of dark matter. Plus, the trio discusses attacks on STEM education, the lack of science coverage in the mainstream news, whether astronauts really drink Tang and how you can have the greatest impact on NASA funding.

Is there any time dilation on Mars? Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity can make time go faster depending on your relative speed and gravity. As you move faster in space, time goes slower. As seen in the movie, Interstellar, Earth’s surface has a higher gravity than the Martian surface, so on Mars you will experience your seconds slightly faster than people on Earth. Plus, as Neil explains to co-host Chuck Nice, because GPS satellites experience less gravity in orbit around Earth than their time-keeping counterparts on Earth’s surface, engineers have to compensate for that difference in time so they don’t run fast.

A fan wants to know who is the most scientifically accurate super hero, and who is the least. In this segment, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice weigh the realism of the two billionaires with the really cool toys: Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Tony Stark (Iron Man). The deciding issue, as Neil sees it, is the ARC reactor in Iron Man’s chest. Chuck, meanwhile, is more concerned with the relationship between Batman and Robin, his “young ward.” Come back next week for Neil’s choice for “least scientifically accurate” superhero.

If Superman follows the laws of physics, how does he fly? As a child, Neil deGrasse Tyson thought that because both Superman and Mighty Mouse had capes, it was the cape that allowed for flight. Now he understands that Superman was born on a planet with high surface gravity, so his higher muscular strength lets him leap far distances on Earth (much the way The Hulk can leap so high). Comedian Chuck Nice also reminded Neil that the original intro to Superman said that he was “Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.”

Imagine what a baseball game would look like on Mars! Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice figure that the field would have to be around 40 percent bigger due to the lesser gravity on Mars. How will the ball act differently? With a thinner atmosphere than Earth, it would be harder to throw a curveball, and the ball would cross the plate at a faster speed than it would on our home planet. Chuck finds it impressive that Neil knows so much about Baseball, and they decide what the Martian team should be named.

How heavy is Thor’s hammer? Superhero movie fan Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discuss a tweet that Neil sent after he saw “Thor.” The hammer is described as being forged in the ashes of a dying star, which Neil concluded would likely be a neutron star. After measuring a replica prop, Neil calculates that the hammer would weigh as much as a herd of 300 billion elephants. No wonder even The Hulk can’t pick it up! Even though a physics professor and Norse God specialist explained the error of his ways to Neil, it feels a bit lightweight to us, and we think Neil’s “wrong answer” is much more substantial.

A fan asks, “Could a superhero have the power to travel around the multiverse, or would the different laws of physics in different universes make that impossible?” Neil deGrasse Tyson looks to quantum physics for the answer, explaining how particles – and possibly universes – can “pop in and out of existence.” But when co-host Chuck Nice says he wishes he had some marijuana to better appreciate the concept, the conversation turns to the value of pot when pondering mind-blowing possibilities like this one.

Transcript: So here we are trying to negotiate what might seem nonnegotiable. Why do these things feel so nonnegotiable?

One reason is that we hold certain values and beliefs as sacred. The other side holds alternative values and beliefs as sacred. And if my beliefs don’t match up with yours we have an impasse, we have gridlock.

The question is, can you get out of gridlock, and how do you get out of gridlock? Is it true that you cannot negotiate the nonnegotiable? You can.

The most powerful tool I know on how to negotiate the nonnegotiable is the power of appreciation. What I mean by that, it is the ability to deeply listen to the other side’s perspective not just so that you can argue back but so that they feel heard.

Now this is the hardest thing to do in the world. If you’re a strong Clintonite or Trumpite, to say,
“you know, start by understanding that other side’s perspective”—You’re going to look at me like, “you’re crazy.”

And even if you don’t think I’m crazy, you’re going to try and do it, and let me tell you what I see happen a lot. People try to understand the other side and two minutes later they say, “Oh no, I understand your perspective, but you’re just wrong!”

It’s not a two minute conversation. It’s at least a half hour to an hour.

It’s not, “Yeah, I get it.”

It’s, “No, I don’t get it. Help me understand it. Tell me more. Talk to me.”
That’s the kind of conversation we want, whether it’s in the political sphere or whether it is, you know, an individual negotiating with their spouse.

The moment anybody—with even the most sacred beliefs—starts to feel heard and valued, their arms are going to uncross, they’re going to lean forward and they’re going to say “you get it.” Now the danger is they might then say “so why don’t you come to my side?” you know. But that’s okay. You’ve moved forward. They feel heard. The next most important piece then is to say, “And just as you have your perspective, I have mine. I have my own sacred values. Would you be open to listening to me and to my perspective? I understand we are coming from”—notice the next word. It’s not, “But you’re wrong!”, you know.

And that’s how most of our conversations take place. You look at the political sphere today: “I understand, but…”

I was recently talking with a congressperson. He said, “Look, I went and I talked to a whole group of constituents about this one particular issue, and then I said ‘I understand your perspective,’” which was different than his.

And after he explained why he understood, all of a sudden two minutes later he said, “But.”

And I said to him, “Boy, you lost that whole set of constituents right now. They don’t feel appreciated.”

You want to say, “And.”

“I hear where you’re coming from, and I see the value in your perspective. And I’m letting you know.”
That can start to break through the walls of the sacred.

Once the other side feels truly heard and understood, now they’re much more likely to listen to you.

And you might start sharing a little bit about your own perspective. And instead of saying, “Do you get where I’m coming from,” you can say, “What do you hear me saying?”

And simply by asking that question,
what do you hear me saying?”, it forces the other almost to empathize with your perspective, at least to try and take that stance of understanding. Now success for the other side is accurately reflecting back what you said. Failure is the failure to actually have listened, which allows you to then correct.

“So what do you hear me saying? I’m not sure I’m being clear about why I believe in this candidate and what they stand for. What do you hear me saying?”

So I think step one is for each side to truly understand in a really real way that other side’s perspective.

And it’s true, it’s not just one side understanding the other. Each side has to work to understand the other’s perspective.

Now this can easily turn into a fire when one side says, “You know, you’re crazy. I can’t believe you are my relative—you’re my son, my daughter… Boy, you know, I didn’t raise you the way I wanted to raise you. Your value systems are different than the way I thought they should be. You are wrong for believing what you believe.”

Now that moment in time, that’s the critical moment.

Are you going to respond at that point in time, when the other side is attacking your belief systems, by saying, “F you, no, it’s your fault! You’re wrong!”

Or at that point in time are you going to say, “You know what? Help me understand more.”

Currently, it’s hard to tell how to make us smarter - but Neil deGrasse Tyson knows what can definitely make us dumber. He also has some ideas on how we might be able to expand on the powers of the human brain. With co-host Chuck Nice.

This is a clip from “Cosmic Queries Live! with Neil deGrasse Tyson” - originally live streamed on Facebook and Periscope on March 3, 2017 at 2:45 PM ET. Watch the full stream here:

Startalk Radio - Cosmic Queries: Galactic Gumbo - Neil deGrasse Tyson talk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice are here to serve you a spicy, stellar bowl of Galactic Gumbo. On this edition of Cosmic Queries, Neil and Chuck are answering all types of fan-submitted questions that come together to create a tasty cosmic serving of the universe. You’ll hear about matter and antimatter, why the universe isn’t made of pure energy, and Georges Lemaitre’s process of discovery for the Big Bang theory. Investigate the expansion of the universe, why it’s slowing down, and how the fabric of the universe can expand faster than the speed of light according to Einstein’s general theory of relativity and special theory of relativity. Neil and Chuck discuss combining creationism and science, how Ptolemy and Isaac Newton used the god of the gaps theory in their work, and how it’s never wrong to trust in the scientific method, even when hunting for a higher power. You’ll find out what Neil would research if he had access to 100% of the world’s computing power. Explore string theory and why the frequency from vibrating strings might be different for different universes. Neil also gives details on the terminology we should use for the space between universes in the multiverse. Discover more about the asteroids that took out the dinosaurs and created Meteor Crater, and what would have happened if they had landed in the ocean. All that, plus, our pair ponders whether earlier access to CGI could have helped our culture be more creative when discussing aliens, and a fan asks Neil the all-important question, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?”

Startalk Radio - Extended Classic: Cosmic Queries – A Stellar Sampling with Neil deGrasse Tyson
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This episode is now extended with Cosmic Queries about science literacy, Internet intelligence, the Age of Information Overload, and more, featuring Neil, Eugene, and PBS BrainCraft’s Vanessa Hill.

This episode is bursting with conspiracy theories and strange hypotheses, but that doesn’t stop your own personal astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson from dropping some serious science. You’ll learn why the government isn’t secretly using HAARP to manipulate weather and why we shouldn’t dispose of pollution in our atmosphere. Explore where black holes go when they die, the difference between black holes and white holes, and whether we could use quantum teleportation to explore inside a black hole. Find out what would happen to the planets if we moved the Sun, and why there is no speed of dark. Neil also explains atmosphere, air pressure and vacuums, why hot air rises but air is colder at higher altitudes, and why time passes differently on Jupiter than on Earth. Plus, he tells comic co-host Eugene Mirman how to use physics to communicate with a 3-meter tall alien “gummy bear.”

Startalk Radio - Cosmic Queries: Time Travel - Neil deGrasse Tyson talk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this Cosmic Queries episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson gets all wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey as he answers your questions about time travel with the help of comic co-host Colin Jost, Saturday Night Live’s new Weekend Update anchor. You’ll discover why a properly designed time machine would need to use both time and space coordinates for targeting, and how warping space time is a legitimate way to “cheat” the laws of relativity. Find out why using the Sun’s gravity to travel back in time like in StarTrek IV wouldn’t work, but using the gravity of two black holes orbiting each other might. You’ll also learn how much time would pass here on Earth if you took a round trip to the nearest black hole, Cygnus X-1, and how astronomers used X-ray telescopes to discover black holes in the first place. All this, plus Doctor Who, Ray Bradbury, Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and more.
