Sagittarius A, our biggest hypothetical door to a white hole big bang in another universe so we can escape the heat death entropy of this one. Even if we can't get it to work in a 100 trillion years, it's like a mental "0" of a placeholder to deal with a current existential crisis.

Neutron stars are the coolest things out there - unlike black holes, they're physical objects that - in principle - you can see and study, and they're just about as weird. It would be especially wild to find one that's finally cooled off (and maybe spun down), so it's literally a big ball of neutrons that you could at least imagine studying up close (and living to write the paper.)

I just got into an Astrophysics PhD Program! StarTalk helped inspire me to pursue astrophysics for undergrad, so I wanted to say thanks for making this science accessible to everyone :)

Cicero was a Roman senator, often considered the best statesman of Rome's history. He tried to keep the Roman Republic alive, and had some success for a while, but eventually he was proscribed by the soon to be first emperor of Rome, Octavian. Unrelated comment I know, but I found the talk about Cicero interesting and I recently watched a bunch of videos about the end of the Roman Republic which is why this was on my mind.

Two of the best stars in the entire universe right here, together. Great seeing Lord Nice & Dr.Tyson doing their thing. ⭐⭐

I used to wonder why Tyson needed a co host at all but now we love Chuck and need to see him too

I literally just started packing a bowl when Chuck said: "Someone is smokin' some good weed boy"! 😮

Seems more organic, this format of interview. Forty five mins. zipped by in a blink of an eye!

I love how much chuck has learned I’ve the years. I guess hanging out with Neil and guests and chatting you are going to learn much more than the average person. I’d consider him enlightened tier now

There is one thing I hope AI development will solve as soon as possible.

It's not too early to teach children, especially if there is such an easy and fun way, just by watching your videos.

Cant recall how long ago it was but i stumbled across niel discussing stars on some talkshow. It changed my life instantly. I dont watch tv anymore, just find interesting topics and deep dive the rabbit holes. I used to read maybe 2-3books a year, now reading 50 plus. Man the stuff they didn't teach us in school. I went to schools in 1 of the best county's in the country. I feel like i have learned more from Dr Tyson than all my years in school.

We learn more on this channel than in college or university

Chuck was on fire doing his voices. I learned some things and laughed a lot. Can’t beat that,,,

I loved science in school and was told that my math skills were not good enough to consider a career in the field . But thanks to Neil ( my absolute favorite educator on all things Space Science and then some ) I feel like I have pretty good grasp on our universe. I do feel like so many things I learned in school are being challenged by new technologies, findings and ideas . I would recommend to anyone who enjoys Star Talk as much as I do to read Mr. Tyson’s books. He narrates many of the audiobooks as well . 😊

You are correct about Cicero being the servant of Maximus!

Cicero the Conqueror. Love his question and Dr Tyson’s answer. “Fetch Me My Horse…”😂

Hi from Las Vegas. I attended engineering school in the '70s. A professor of mine proved mathematically that, given a steady consistent level of rain falling and steady winds, or none at all, that it did not matter whether you walked or ran through the rain and that one would get equally wet either way. Don't ask me to do the proof. His calculus equations were above my pay grade. I didn't get it then either. However, if one stops on the journey through the rain, you will get wetter. Result? If it's wet and cold, I run. If it's a warm rain, I walk. If a tropical squall, stop and enjoy the fragrant aromas released by the rains. Thanks for the fun show.

I thought directionality was a red herring, I always put it down to 2 things. The size of the droplets and the amount of rain released from the cloud.

You guys are cracking me up over here with "Cicero Artifan, Prefect of the Northern Territories" 😂😂😂

Chuck can never stop manifesting our boy Armando. Keep it up

Heard this on the podcast yesterday and watching the two of you extol the exploits of Cicero I still enjoyed watching it again.

Prefect Ciciro, from the vast northern plains of Toronto!

Exploring the universe through conversations like this one is a vivid reminder of how much there is to learn and wonder about. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice have a unique ability to make complex scientific concepts both understandable and incredibly fascinating. Their banter and insightful dialogue bridge the gap between the known and the unknown, inviting us all to ponder the vast mysteries of the cosmos. This episode not only feeds our curiosity but also sparks a deeper appreciation for the beauty of scientific inquiry. It's a reminder that in the pursuit of understanding the universe, our imagination and questions are our most valuable tools.

29:31 As a Washington resident, let a local help you out, Chuck. It's pronounced Pew-wall-up, named after one of our many tribes that represent this wonderful state. Our state fair used to have a catchy phrase to build anticipation for the event: "Do the wallup in Puyallup".

Neil and Chuck for 2024

Love the in person style

im 25 and i watched the full and i mean full including the pastor at the end of the Rice University speech and it was an amazing speech. did shed a tear. was spot on about everything

Greetings from Plymouth New Hampshire! Thank you for continuing to give all of us amazing knowledge and taking the time out of your day to do so. Stay safe out there.

This is one of the only Star Talk episodes I've heard repeatedly in a long time. Magic happened here.

When Chuck talks in Spanish he sound just like Antonio Banderas.

An episode of Lord Chuck just reading reading questions in his theatrical voice would be great!

This show is like brain candy!!! I’m so glad I’ve found it!!!! Next step. Order my new telescope 🔭

I love the way Chuck makes Neil laugh so hard. Reminds me on one of my friends that cracks out a joke all the time that is not that funny but you get used to the person 😂

Another stellar Q&A, great questions and great chemistry. ❤

ahhh the classic in person cosmic queries!!! gotta love it man

Finally together!

I DONT LIKE how much I enjoyed this thanks guys for keeping the knowledge flowing:)

So cool to have you back together in the same room! Forgot to factor in wind when calculating rain accumulation. If it's sufficiently windy, the rain won't fall vertically, but at an angle, so that when you walk you'll accumulate more rain than if it would be no wind

This is my favorite StarTalk session. I like the in-person interaction and the questions were quite thought provoking. Chuck's humor was more spot on than usual, probably because of the in person venue (or he just got a good night's sleep LOL!!) Thanks.

Hearing you read a section of your book I immediately wanted new episodes of cosmos, please make that happen

I didn't know that learning was this easy, funny and entertaining the way it is, but THX to this guy, i'm starting to like to learn for real, and it(learning) also seens very healthy for both body and mind too.

It’s great to see you guys together in person! Thank you for doing what you do!!!

finally no more video meetings lol really missed this format can't wait till you have more guests in your office like pre covid times

Thanks for the great episode. One buck per thought here: 1) Angels are those who don't live by, as they would say "Classical" physics knowledge here on our planet. 2) A supermassive black hole is not infinitely dense, but infinitely voluminous (to an infinitesimally small volume).

Hey Neil and chuck love the content. Just an FYI you're friend and past guest Adam Savage did an experiment on how much more wet you get by running or walking in the rain. Keep up the great work.

The aspirin explainer was remarkable. Nice one Chuck!

I don't think I've heard you guys bring it up before, but the "Stargate" TV series has a lot of episodes that intersect with some of the topics you discuss (especially wormholes, which is what the "Stargate" itself essentially is). When you brought up the question regarding whether it would be dangerous to connect a wormhole on earth to one near a black hole, it reminded me of an episode where exactly that happened. The gate on earth was connected to another in a collapsing orbit around a black hole, and it caused both gravitational anomalies and time dilation in the area around the Stargate on earth that progressively got worse. The biggest plot hole IMO was that it didn't seem like the gate was pulling earth's atmosphere through it, but other than that it was a really interesting portrayal of theoretical wormhole physics concepts.

One of the best videos out there. Love this duo. But…wow, so many commercials makes it almost unwatchable. This is technical material and interruptions to the presentation does not allow the viewer to follow the presenter’s train of thought. After each commercial the viewer must rewind and replay part of the presentation only to trigger yet another commercial.

23:14 May Alejandro never stop asking questions, and Chuck never stop this persona 😂

Great to see Dr Tyson and the Lord back in person. Legacy Star talk I’m here for it ☺️

Luv these guys!

Yay. In person is so much more dynamic 😂

I recently replayed an old video game called Fez. And it was interesting to me because after watching Star Talk and understanding more about dimensions gave that game a whole different experience. The game is basically "what if we DID have command over the dimensions".

Many years ago, Mythbusters did an awesome test of running vs. walking in the rain - it turns out running actually made you wetter! Fascinating!

Love the intro!

It's pronounced pew-al-up washington. Love you guys. Learn something every time I watch.

7:27 Mythbusters actually tested the "running in the rain" thing and walking soaked the clothes less than running. They didn't even have puddles of water, so I am guessing you would get even wetter if you occasionally hit puddles of water.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍾🥳great to see you both back

Regarding the walking in the rain discussion… Let’s assume the rain is falling uniformly - that is, each square unit of ground space receives the same amount of rainfall for a given period of time. If we are moving through that space the amount of rain hitting us from above will also be uniform just not the same raindrops will be making contact. So, what I am suggesting is that the vertical component of rain that hits the cross-sectional area that is facing up will not vary significantly as walking speed changes. The horizontal component is different as it is possible to collect a larger component of the rain that is falling down on the front side while not losing an equivalent amount on the back side.
