Stephen Colbert Interviews Neil DeGrasse Tyson | PsiVid, Scientific American Blog Network

Such a shame that policy makers appear to pay no heed to any of the concepts that he talks about. Great interview. We'll be showing this to the kids. It's long but well worth it.

Il have to watch this later... Love Colbert and the humor he brings to everything.

That was awesome. Great interview. I wish my interests in Astrophysics (among other sciences) blossomed about 30 years ago. Great post Alundil.

Glad you liked it. I hope everyone gets some knowledge and enjoyment out of it.

Good vid. I think Colbert could have used the humor a bit more sparingly as it was starting to get in the way of Tyson telling his stories and answering questions.

I've listened to many of his video's, he has a unique ability to make astrophysics understandable to non physicists. Kaku tries but can't seem to pull it off like Tyson. Perhaps Tyson's childhood played a part in that ability.
