I can't decide if I'm listeing to a scientist, a philosopher, a poet, an artist, a standup comic! He is just an incredible human being!

[babysaho]

Every time I fall asleep watching YouTube l wake up to this guy

[joensd]

If Neil had been my science teacher when I was a kid, I would've been someone else.

Neil has an extraordinary talent for clearly explaining what we know about the universe. He's a captivating & funny storyteller !!!

[IceKoldKilla]

If I had him as a science teacher all throughout school, I would like to think I would've pursued science and made it my career. He truly captivates people and simplifies things to a level many more can understand.

And then by the end of the show, he sits in that chair just like children do, having all the fun in the world by talking about his passion. I love this guy.

[slayerx]

The fact that Neil doesn't reach across the stage and strangle that guy every time he talks...much respect 👏

[trevordavis]

To quote J.B.S. Haldane: "The universe is not stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we CAN imagine."

[elsebethlind]

I am Danish and love this man! All humans should know about him!

[deroman]

I love how comfortable he felt with his audience, that he totally relaxed him self by resting his leg on the arm rest of the sofa chair.
What i like from him is the clearness in which he explains things.

[shakeesangwenya]

Tyson radiate brilliance. His clarity is on another level. I truly enjoy listening to him.

[TheShadowinflight]

Neil went full astro-boss when his leg popped over the chair arm lol

[ivan-Croatian]

"The more we know, the bigger is our ignorance." Fantastic.

[terrencesoldo]

His ability to explain very complex concepts in a way that we can all understand is a gift. This was a riveting 1:22 min.

Tyson is not only off the chart intelligent but so sooo laid back and funny!
