Neil DeGrasse Tyson (physicist) quote
    #11457987 -

Tyson is this century's Carl Sagan. A likable and knowledgable physicist capable of making complex concepts accessable to the common man and frequent spokesman for 'Nova' and 'The Universe' made this observation which I really like:

"Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically-rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us."  — Neil deGrasse Tyson

I'm sorry that I felt wonder for a moment, I will go back to my normally-scheduled cynicism. I must have had some sort of lapse.

Yeah that is about as far as one can take the "we are all one" thingy; it's basic science at that level and might be more than enough to engage the masses were it not for our anxieties about lacking immortality.

Tyson sucks, he talks to adults like they're kids. Filippenko is much more engaging.

IMo much of america thinks at about a third grade level. Especially when it comes to discerning fact from fiction.

What that has to do with the quote is beyond me. Is saying that someone sucks a mature assessment or something a grade school kid might say?

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
