Neil deGrasse Tyson

The multiverse theory suggests infinite universes beyond our own.

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far these two philosophies will take you.

Kids are born scientists. They're born curious. We squelch that curiosity in the educational system.

The most important thing ever is to not stop questioning.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

The more I learn about the universe, the less I believe in a God who actively intervenes in the affairs of humans.

There is no shame in not knowing. The shame lies in not finding out.

My goal is to get people to think about the universe in ways they've never thought about it before.

If you're scientifically literate, the world looks very different to you. And that difference, I think, is a difference for the better.

The greatest discoveries are yet to be made.

We are biologically driven to explore, to discover, to invent.

Once you learn how to think, you can't stop.

The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.

The universe is a vast and wondrous place, and we are privileged to be a part of it.

My view is that if you want to understand the universe, you have to use the tools of science.

The greatest scientists are artists as well.

We are not just observers of the universe; we are participants in its unfolding story.

The universe is not a hostile place; it's just indifferent.

If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough.

The universe is a grand experiment, and we are the data.
