Film Theory: The Dark Science of Rick and Morty's Portal Gun! ft. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Today we are diving back into the crazy, messed up world of Rick and Morty - with special guest Neil deGrasse Tyson! Since I have an expert onboard, I thought we'd explore one of the more scientific mysteries on the show, the portal gun! Don't lie, you've wished you had one so you could hop around the universe too. Well, the first step is understanding how it works. Theorists, prep your back up clones and we get ready to break down the science behind Rick's portal gun!

Matpatt and Neil talking are like the two smartest kids in the class having a conversation

[ojaskalra]

Wish MatPat would create a theory on the yellow portal which can apparently travel outside the central finite curve

I never thought in a million years I would hear Neil degrasse Tyson say wubba lubba dub dub

@1:10 "no one over the age of 7 thinks animatronics are scary"
as a 26 yo I'm feeling so attacked right now.

Hey, remember "Stupid" Rick from alt universe that invented portal liquid, that if you pour it on something flat it generates portal to a random location or dimension
Welp, I think it's that liquid in original Rick's portal gun

I love how he just got NEIL DEGRASS TYSON to talk about rick and morty

[caitlynxoxox]

i love how these videos make me feel like I'm doing something good with my life instead of just watching some rick and Morty theory but in reality, i am just watching some rick and Morty theory 🥲

Thank God someone finally pointed out that a dimension is not the same thing as an alternate universe so many shows and movies do this and it bugs me so much lol

Me, an introvert: *I have found the ultimate weapon to get out of conversations*

[satsujin-shathewitchkingof]

I half-expected Austin to be doing this episode.

[jamiedel]

I didn’t even realize it was the real Neil and then I was like “wait a minute, how can they have someone who sounds so similar ”

0:30 “2731” theory in itself. matt is in a different dimension than the editor

Did anyone realize he read the number for universal classification wrong lol

[alfwatt]

My head cannon for the Central Finite Curve is that Rick figured out how to select alternative universes where physics is close enough to keep from being a "Blender Dimension"
