Stephen Colbert once asked him to answer the question "why is there something, instead of nothing" in 10 words or less, as a joke.
Tyson, right on the spot, pausing between words to make sure he hit the 10-word mark: "Words that make questions, may not be questions at all." |

His voice, delivery and his message is very compelling. At least for me.

he looks a lot like my "physiolog" professor in college. Long white hair and everything, Asian.
He was torture to listen to. He never pronounced 'y's' so everything was physiolog or anatom he often used words that were supposed to end in Y, so it became quite annoying listening to him. One of the few B's I got in college and I never could understand a word he said, I just read the book and got a B.

The great thing about Dr. Kaku is you don't feel like he's an accomplished physicist trying to dumb things down enough to where you mere humans can understand them.
He thinks like we do (he doesn't want to marry his cousin or a bird) he just thinks about more than we do and much more efficiently...

Brian Cox isn't bad either though he's usually too fundamental and simple in his approach.

I stopped watching that show after I realized they show the Earth 90% of the time even though the it is supposed to be about "Wonders of the Universe". The sad thing is that I watch EVERYTHING that is about space and physics except that show. |

I'm a big fan of his.
People could learn a thing or two from that man.

If we could somehow shake up the "Faux democracy" 2 party political election system, and elect Dr. Tyson as president... Then actually elect intelligent people like scientists and engineers to run this country.. Shit would get fixed pronto.
That's a damn sad truth...
