I dig Carl Sagan, but I have a man-crush on Neil deGrasse Tyson.

i also have a raging crush on this man.

I don't want to ruin this for others but his closing line is "Thank you for putting whipped cream on my hot chocolate."

wow! I'm SO glad that he is filming lectures for teh intarnets.

The analogy of a thimbleful of neutron star as weighing as much as 50 million elephants is pretty good, but honestly, it is very hard to imagine 50 million elephants. I have heard the analogy before as a thimbleful of neutron star weighing as much as the Rockie Mountains. That is more viscerally signifigant to me.

I have to say, I totally <3 his take on the infinite density of a singularity. "When I say that a singularity is infinitely dense, really I am just professing my own ignorance."
This video is a huge boon for Science. Bravo! Thank you for posting it mauz!

er.... i meant that i am <3 his take on a singularity
