Neil deGrasse Tyson - Why Didn’t I Flinch? Original Scene

This is the original scene from the iconic Neil deGrasse Tyson line “Why Didn’t I Flinch”

From Episode 6 of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

[Error-]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Thank you.

*_visibly flinches_*
"So, why didn't I flinch?"

[Unknown-csqc]

Master: Why didn’t you flinch?
Student: Because the laws of science differ fundamentally from those-
“Gets stabbed in the eye”

I came here cause of tiktok I thought he got hit in the face

[duckway]

He flinched ever so slightly lol
And he kept looking back at it as if he were afraid it would hit him 😂😂😂

[eperks]

I saw the hit meme, but I later watched this show in Astronomy.

“Why didn’t I flinch? Cause the laws of science dif-*gets hit in the face*

[pibaeater]

"because the ball will surely do some damage"

Meanwhile him in the tiktok realm: *Firsthand Experience Agrees*

[Katlo_k]

Me who thought he got hit on the face and laughed like I have never laughed before

[kempy]

I got disappointed when it didn't hit lol

[cymes]

"Why didn't I flinch?"
Me: Because you had your eyes closed, you hack.

[jemsio]

In an alternate universe, He actually pushed the ball

[anatheistsopinion]

If you try this at home, do it correctly 😂

[silverflight]

It's funny how people are more used to him getting hit, even though the pendulum would have to break the laws of physics to do so since it starts about a couple centimeters from his face

[rue]

I genuinely thought he actually got hit in the original 😂

[desiroots]

I love how he moves his head back while saying why didn't I flinch

*_There are many conserved quantities in physics. They are often remarkably useful for making predictions in what would otherwise be very complicated situations. In mechanics, there are three fundamental quantities which are conserved. These are momentum,  energy, and angular momentum. Conservation of momentum is mostly used for describing collisions between objects_*

*_The conservation of momentum is a fundamental concept of physics along with the conservation of energy and the conservation of mass. Momentum is defined to be the mass of an object multiplied by the velocity of the object. The conservation of momentum states that, within some problem domain, the amount of momentum remains constant; momentum is neither created nor destroyed, but only changed through the action of forces as described by Newton's laws of motion. Dealing with momentum is more difficult than dealing with mass and energy because momentum is a vector quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Momentum is conserved in all three physical directions at the same time. It is even more difficult when dealing with a gas because forces in one direction can affect the momentum in another direction because of the collisions of many molecules_*

*_For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed. The principle of conservation of momentum is a direct consequence of Newton's third law of motion_*

You can tell he's still scared of it

It's sad that no one has ever posted the original clip on social media platforms, only the edited ones. While it may seem hilarious, I still prefer the original one, as it's much more informative rather than a waste of time.

Thank god he didn't get hit this time !
