    • Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Why Earth Is Not Flat, Again ...
      • "For me, the fact that there's a rise of flat-Earthers is evidence of two things. One, we live in a country that protects free speech. And two we live in a country with a failed educational system," Tyson said about the lack of understanding that the world is, in fact, round.

    I don’t ever reach out to anyone, for any reason, at any time. I live in Manhattan, I am an easy date for these shows. They — the show — thought it up. My contribution was the sandwich. The mic drop was the show’s idea, but originally, Larry was going to walk the mic over to me at the end, hand it to me, and I would drop it. I said, ‘I said no, jus...

    Well, what they had originally written should have been a little more loftier than it initially was. We should reach for higher ground, so whatever it came across as, it was much more in the trenches in their earlier edits. But that is the comedy writing process. I applaud what they felt was a sense of urgency to bring this into a segment, and I se...

    You’re right. In spite of my Twitter numbers, there are a dozen people in different fields doing exactly what I am doing. That is a change within the last five years, and what enables that, and I can only speak from my field, and I trace this to Carl Sagan, over the years we learned the value of someone doing that which Carl Sagan accomplished. Peo...

    That is a problem. They don’t know how to think about information and data. It’s an educational problem. This was rare, my stepping out to confront B.o.B. because it just isn’t what I do. I don’t pick people out who have weird ideas and then debate them. As an educator, I see my duty to train people how to think about nature, the world, and the for...

    I don’t chase people, but I chased B.o.B. because his fanbase started directly tweeting at me. It shouldn’t take a Ph.D. astrophysicist to give convincing arguments that Earth is round. I never want my credentials to lead my statements. Also, he has 2.3 million Twitter followers, and in his tweets, he was saying, ‘This is simple physics. This is ph...

    Well, I am currently working on that, and it may come out as a book one day, but it is still in the oven. Count it as half-baked, literally and figuratively. I have thoughts on promoting and improving science literacy, but I am not ready to go public with them.

    It was a 92nd Street Y onstage interview with the host of Radiolab, Robert Krulwich. We were talking about what is the largest mountain in the world, and I said, ‘Do you mean the mountain farthest from the center of the Earth? That is different mountain than the highest mountain above sea level.’ That freaked him out, he wanted to know why, and the...

    No, and in fact, he took it down. TMZ asked coming out of The Nightly Showif I had my lawyers take down the song. I don’t have people take stuff down. The Internet is just whatever it is.

    He told me about B.o.B.’s track, and I asked him about B.o.B. My nephew raps, and is an academic educator. He is getting his master’s on the role of hip-hop transforming cultures in the inner cities. So I asked my nephew whether he could make a diss track in response, and could he do it fast? He got right on it. He created it, and I voiced two of m...
