The Single Greatest Gift ⭐ w/ Neil deGrasse Tyson

"The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff." - Carl Sagan

"Looking up and you say, I'm alive in this universe, but I feel small. No, the universe is alive within you, and you should feel large."
-Neil

*_"We are not only figuratively, but literally stardust"_* .
Wow. That gave me goosebumps.

[edog]

when you gaze up at the cosmos, you are the universe being self aware

“From the stars we came from to the stars we will return”

[pierrerichard]

Tysones gift to us is how he take a subject that is usually unpaletable to most and explains it like telling a bed time story that makes everyone listening become fully enthralled. A great embassador of science and story teller.

Neil has told that story so many times. But each time with different nuances and with different words. The story remains the same and it's told beautifully. He knows it inside out, no need to write it down.

Back in my first science classes when we were first learning about molecules, my teacher asked “what is everything made out of?” She was looking for “matter” or “atoms” but the really smart kid in my class said “stardust” and my teacher was shocked lol.

stars died so we could live
Edit: Ffs look up metaphor. You are literally killing me with the literal takes. Wait maybe take a shot for every literal reply and another for every reply that assumes I'm being mean to anything religious.

[IMRJT]

I love his knowledge and how poetic he speaks about science. He makes it sound so cool.

[jonaspelino]

From dust you came to dust you will return.. ❤

[el_loco]

From dust to dust balance must be preserved

[IcyCucumber]

Energy never truly dies. It only gets transformed.

[MegaSkills]

I have also taught this to many people through my life as an Astronomer and a Science teacher. It is also one of the most profound things we have learned. Do you want to be a star? You already have been one. At least two times in the past. Maybe even 3 times. Very cool to think of.

[Solon-Plato]

This is the kind of knowledge we should be sharing with each other on u tube. The universe is in us. Love this clip.

[kitsunegurei]

Babylon 5 had a great quote for this - "We are star stuff. We are the universe made manifest trying to figure itself out."

[MrChrissyr]

Neil de Gras Tyson is the kind of guy that should be among world leaders, intelligent, enthusiastic, never dull humane and deals with facts not fantasy, like religions.

[odunayokawojue]

Now I understand from dust you came to dust you shall stardust!

[AK.x]

This is my single favourite thing I’ve learned from NDT. I tell absolutely everyone about this…mindblowing.

[PeterRiley-bq]

we are the universe experiencing itself.
