True. Stephen's explanation makes sense and would explain an alien's observation of Voyager 1 and 2 slingshotting around their star in their own solar system.

Stephen outwitted Neil's baalshit

@@stephenenders2066 it wasn't bullshit. He just knows what it is.

It's a bit absurd but it was fine.

Stephen's counter argument is ignorant and a stupid logic. Getting hype on things like that is like getting hype at a flat earthers explanation why earth is flat.

I doubt Neil Degrasse Tyson thinks in mindless copypasta memes, but good try.

He was on the show before it even began. As I recall, one of the videos Stephen posted on youtube the summer before his debut as host was a clip with Neil.

Unless he turns on his engines.

You don't have to be a great scientist, to be a scientist. Most 'scientists' are just ordinary people, who live our lives in perpetual enjoyment of discovering new things, and trying to figure them out. The scientific method, is what separates us from the suckers who believe in nonsense. Psssst...... wanna buy a bottle of Trump water? How about some Trump steaks?

Good god you is fine.

Sean do I need to call you out for being one of the dumbest posters on this video? Because it sure looks like it

He actually made a good point. The Apollo spaceships were mostly controlled by gravity alone on their way too the Moon and back, as the engine burns that changed their speed and trajectory only lasted a few minutes at the time.

Yes that was smart reasoning, I'll give him that. But if you have a ship in space, you're not interested in it drifting as gravity wants, you're interested in driving it to where you want to go. So Tyson's argument is still more realistic.

@@Surmoka A spaceship can exploit the gravity to take it where it wants to go. Just start the engines at a precisely calculated time, let them burn for a precisely calculated period while pointing in a precisely calculated direction, and the gravity will do the rest. When sending space probes to other planets, they can coast unpowered for months or even years after the launch from Earth, only guided by the gravity of the Sun and the planets.

Neil was stating only what was observed...we can speculate anything... But can only comment on on what was observed....and as per observation, there was no proof of any intelligent manouvering.

TBH Neil dumb it down so the audience can understand.If he started talking about mathematical principles behind the sling shot effect or astronomical measurements people would be confused.

You dont need to be torn. They both could be right. All Neil is saying is its probably not aliens cos it followed gravity and stephen is just saying yeah, that was the aliens plan XD

I bet during this whole bit Stephen just wanted to say: "I love you Neil but fuck you!!!" :D

It's the other way around.

They should go brocery shopping together. That would be some brain candy.

his passion in this very interview stands from the attention he is getting and the respect he thinks he enjoys and is being shown. the mocking and baby talk that he uses when talking to the interviewer, an equally intelligent person from another profession, should be enough to an observing eye to prove it.

Theres no passion. Hes a condescending asshole using science to put down other people and make them feel stupid so he comes off like some all knowing god

Covfefe The IV research Eric Dubay

SVS - So many it could be considered plain regurgitation always followed by his insecurity chuckle. Note on his "logic" : If a entity can control it's subjects/specimen in mind/ body and generally limits it's contact to be singular. Wouldn't it be logical to conclude it wouldn't allow any tangible/physical evidence of it's existence to exit the craft ?? It most certainly would be aware if an attempt was made.

Covfefe The IV But would the aliens let you do that? o.0 I don't think so

Kind of difficult when you're strapped to a table and you can't move any of your body. The story that almost every abduction has in common is that people feel like they are unable to move their body but they are seeing and hearing everything that is going on around them.

Frank bucklys interview of avi loeb is an intelligent argumented presentation and explanation of his view with comments on the unlikeliness and or flaws of papers trying to dismiss it. The attitude avi loeb keeps showing the manner in which he speaks is the best representation of an intellectual. Unlike neil degrass Tyson , a man whose every sentence is overflowing with ridicule of others, no matter how well educated, credible, intelligent, and deserving of respect they might be.

Yes and yes and yes

You know what's sad? Stephen probably gets more real science on his show than Discovery channel does these days.

Neil is all you need. He's charismatic, highly intelligent and talks in a way that even a dummy like me can understand him. I love him so much that my girlfriend started to hate him.

Casey T research Eric Dubay people the earth is flat research Eric Dubay

Sean Joyce - Did it ... It's the dumbest bunch of assertions I've ever seen !

I nut

No, he wasn't right. He was using quite immature reasoning. Neil said, "the reason why it's _probably_ not aliens is, its trajectory around the sun was completely determined by gravitational forces." This is a logical statement. He's saying, this object did not behave any differently than any other inanimate object that has entered our solar system, therefore there is no reason to think that it _is_ any different, insofar as being controlled by aliens. If it _had_ behaved differently, then we might hypothesize that some other force was acting on it. So, maybe aliens. But it did not behave differently. What Stephen basically said was, "even if there's no evidence that another force was acting on it, doesn't mean that there wasn't any; maybe we just didn't see it." Yes, that is a possibility. And Neil's initial statement did leave room for that possibility. But it's a bit like saying, "hey, even if there's no evidence that 100 tiny fairies are dancing on your forehead, doesn't mean they aren't there; maybe our human eyes just can't sense them." Okay, sure. But it's up to you to provide evidence, not up to Neil to disprove. So this argument is not the "slam dunk" that Stephen and the audience seemed to think it was. It was actually quite a juvenile argument to make. If that's what Stephen thinks, then why doesn't he apply the same logic to every other mass that enters our solar system? Why are rocks and asteroids just rocks and asteroids, but this thing is a spaceship? The evidence says they behaved no differently. That is what Neil is saying.

@@a.a9021 It’s too early in the morning to read all that my guy, just know it was a joke!!

@@a.a9021 That was my thought too. By Stephen's logic, ALL comets or meteors passing us by could be alien in origin. The only thing that has people excited about this object is it's weird shape. It's like mistaking faces for mountains on Mars.

@@a.a9021 Well in fact it had behaved differently...

@@a.a9021 yes but it is still a possibility although it is very low

7 Billion Sheeple Hehe, it's a conspiracy theorist! And judging by your name, i'd assume you believe that 7 billion people on this earth including me have no idea about anything and are "sheeple" following others, and you will never admit you're wrong because you're on the defensive about all your little conspiracy theories.

Yep

Or they just donot let him go

Neil has a nice personality, but his scientific method is too naive.

@@aBraveNewNormal aaaand "part-time" Director of the Hayden Planetarium

I, too, cringe when people use the term "UFO" to mean "extraterrestrial spacecraft". But, when people say, "There's _proof_ that UFOs exist!", you kind of have to agree. But, that doesn't mean that they are spaceships. Yes, there _are_ *unidentified* flying objects witnessed all of the time. But, that's just what they are: unidentified.

U fuck off thats what he meant

We live in at a time where people use "literally" to mean figuratively. I don't think words have much meaning any more.

I like that, compared to last time he was on tv speaking about it, Neil has taken the UFO footage more seriously. We all better hope it's Aliens by the way, because if any other country can outfly USA's jets with something the size of an airliner there's a big problem. Aliens at least have a good chance of being peaceful.

Cinzia Pompa I can watch and listen to Neil all day. The man is my hero.

Stephen is always at his best when he gets to nurture his nerdy side with the guest.

You must be pretty stupid to waste your time on that

Unfortunately for Stephen's argument, the way slingshot manoeuvres work is that you use your engines at the closest point to the gravity well, so following a ballistic path rules out a slingshot.

I mean for comedic purposes yea, it was great, but that type of argument doesn't get you very far. It's like when Phoebe asks Ross how he knows nobody put the fossils there. Shifting the burden of proof that way would be like me stating Hogwarts is real and telling you to disprove it.

That thing is interesting and all but they should start looking in our skies because theyve been here for years ..ive seen one and i had 5 people with me that saw it..plus its thousands of sightings every year..not fairy tales

Hahahahaha... that was truly funny!

=( So true. Luckily he is so damn old surely he won't last too much longer I mean I'm 24 so maybe I'll live long enough for the aliens to see that he is gone and give us another try next time they'll swipe right in this interstellar tinder app we call a universe. hahaha

Hidden One he has enough life to start a 3rd www and kill us all. and no thats not a new internet.

That's why they shot off the engines, they were worried Trump would start sending tweets their ways.

Keksi What is "actual science" based on? Don't you have to make certain assumptions to conduct sciences? Like that your repeatable observations produce true results?

"suddenly stopped following the expected gravitational path and accelerated faster than the laws of gravity would permit": It did accelerate which would be normal if it was jettisoning matter, which brought scientists wondering if it's a comet or an asteroid. "something black science man apparently did not know"... something nobody knew.

@Aaron Richards yes... but if you reference the date of this video... that acceleration had not yet happened. I was just pointing out that he was using our understanding of the law of gravity to prove it was not alien.... when it then did do something unexpected later on. I'm not saying it is aliens. I'm just pointing out that his main argument for why it wasn't aliens was upset.

and that means it is not comet or asteroid like fakn DeGrasse are bullshiting

@@Mr11ESSE111 yep,Neil Degrasse Tyson IS full of s**t..I used to respect him but he is just a complicit puppet like alot of scientists keeping humanity in the dark ages..it's sad really,because TRUE science is about exploring all options,all theories no matter how "far out" they seem

Occam's Razor is such an underutilised framework for looking at things. I completely agree. People should stop trying to attribute grand explanations to things they don't understand.

Occam's Razor is boring though. I'd rather think about aliens all day long than just some interstellar rock.

That is the mindset of anyone with a religion.

Fair point. Though, there is more evidence to support science.

Neil's point isn't that it's definitely not aliens, it's that it's most likely not aliens, based on what we already know and can prove mathematically. Stephen's point is that if there's a .0001% chance that it's aliens, then we should treat it as such. They're both just having fun.
