To this day, I consider him my favorite astro-physicist. Every time you hear him talk, he has this passion in his voice that you rarely hear from other scientists. He truly loves his job. On a different note, I'd love to see the rest of his talk, if it's posted anywhere else..

I love his hat!

In the thumbnail, it looks like he's lickin' a shot for science.
So, business as usual.

By the apparently informal nature of this gathering, he may well have imbibed an alcoholic beverage or two ahead of time. Not that he sounds inebriated in any way, but then maybe he can hold his liquor.

Hey bartender, I'll have what the astrophysicist is drinking.>> ^SlipperyPete:

The 2012 phenomenon is pretty funny with the dozens of theories and the 400 History Channel specials.
I don't believe there is some end of the world thing coming. I do, however, just feel that we're building up to something. Economy, Politics, Religion, Population, Energy, Environment and the list goes on; all of it appears to be getting more and more fucked with no signs of the fucked'ness slowing down.

There are so many things today that seem to be on the verge of exploding or imploding into something; things that 10-15 years ago didn't. Maybe it's only because media coverage is so much higher now then back then, and the majority of what the media wants to cover and throw in your face is everything that's wrong in the world.

Ah, that's news to me. I thought you were referring to him drinking a shot.
I be getting old.>> ^SlipperyPete:

i have seen few comics able to deal with a rowdy, shouting crowd this well, let alone a doctorate in science. He rocks.

He gets better with age.

They will never forgive him for Pluto

How that crap needs debunking is beyond me.

every generation before us has felt this way
every generation after us will feel this way
when I was a kid, the ATeam TV show KICKED @$$, watching it now? not so much
everything was always better before, and the future always looks bleak
we gloss over the past, and hate the fact that the future isn't ours to inherit, but other's

Shooting the shit with Neil Degrasse Tyson on a rooftop patio bar on a clear night is my definition of paradise.

I couldn't find the rest of the talk, but I found his talk at the World Science Festival.

It's fascinating that we need a premier scientist to actually debunk something this stupid...
