3 Most Important Questions 🤯 w/ Neil deGrasse Tyson

[everyrickneedsamorty]

It's frightening to come to terms with how much we don't know... Science has truly been paving the way...

[delmarhi]

Biology is astrophysics….we all are star dust

[Biochemistry-life]

Finally someone spoke about the transition from complex organic molecules to well orchestrated life...
As a med student, I've spent all my freshman year learning about biochemistry and it's beauty....
TBH, i strongly believe that Biochemistry is not just a SUBJECT for med students or biologists, it's much more than that.... It's the LANGUAGE in which Earth and it's organisms function!!!
Hope more physicists and chemists would contribute for biochemistry ( cause i literally lost my hope that biologists could do astrophysicists should consider learning biochemistry, since these people constantly explore the universe in search of other living forms.

[brittkelly]

That third question. I have wondered that.

[giantpopeg]

Ah, it was me actually. I was bored one day and fiddled with some goop I found. If you get small enough the molecules actually have an on button.

[davidrabino]

The third is the most interesting topic I never hear anyone touch on!

[itsumonihon]

There's a computer program called "The Game of Life" that operates on extremely simplistic rules or assumptions that you can easily imagine happening on earth to organic molecules. Certain combinations of molecules can begin to move or change shape, and subsets of these may actually be self-sustaining. I believe something like this is probably the origin of life on earth - some molecules fit well together, and in certain combinations began to attach to eachother or move, and through the natural process of selection, the combinations that "survived" or otherwise did not lock up into inanimate structures, became life.

Every created things has a creator Neil.

Why is gravity so weak?
Why is the universe expanding faster?
Why do humans get ticklish?
😂😂😂 my 3

Bonus why is kim Kardashian so popular

[constantinekoumantos]

I have 3. Man say what you will about him but I love this guy

[LTO]

I want to know what Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget looked like.

[mikkelnpetersen]

Are we alone in the galaxy?
both answers are terrifying.

[kahnquest_mK]

🎶To know the unknown, doesn’t mean that much to me…🎶

[andrewcalhoon]

The third one is mostly answered. The key is self-replication. As soon as a molecule is capable of copying itself, the most basic form of evolution takes over and you will end up with life as long as it does not run out of resources first.

[yannickcollin]

I'd also love the answer to those questions and one more, Quantum Gravity.

[TheRealPots]

this was a fantastic answer and of course it made my mind go wild !!

[jeromevincente]

Good Questions and the only answers possible. He is very smart.

[shruggzdastr-facedclown]

Charlie asked him to provide just one question that he'd like to have answered, but he bundled three in one!

[santhoshgopinath]

.
How do you go from inanimate organic molecules to animate life. He just stated The Hard Problem of Consciousness – namely, How does neurons and chemical molecules and electricity give rise to Consciousness.



Science might never be able to answer this Q because the question could be framed wrongly, originating from neuroscience from the perspective of a Cartesian world view.



Maybe the question to ask would be, how does Consciousness per se give rise to objects which include matter, energy, ideas, This could then be called The Hard Problem of Objects. But on serious enquiry this may turn out to be not so hard a problem.... It has been explored and explained....

[harithattvalavan]

I've always wanted to know the answer to the third question😊
