STComment ‘Neil’ and I’ll personally DM you the full conversation.
Have we all misunderstood what life and death really mean?
That’s what Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson has challenged for over 35 years.
For those that don’t know who @neildegrassetyson is, he is one of the most recognisable scientists on Earth, an astrophysicist, and the Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York.
He’s made science feel less like a subject and more like a way of understanding who we are.
We went deep and he spoke candidly about how losing both of his parents changed the way he sees life.
He now believes knowing you’ll die is what gives life its purpose.
We cover:
- Can science change the way we see purpose?
- Why do 80% of Gen Z believe in astrology?
- What’s the truth about aliens and simulation theory?
- Will we ever make it to another planet?
- What’s the secret to happiness?
Neil always makes science feel human.
When I first watched Cosmos, I stopped looking for meaning in religion and started finding it in the universe instead.
This conversation reminded me why.
He has this way of taking something as big and complex as space and turning it into a reason to feel grateful for being alive.
It’s not about losing faith, it’s about finding meaning in reality itself.
