Author of quotes: Neil Degrasse Tyson
When I first received and opened a book on mathematical analysis, it all from beginning to end consisted of formulas with deformed symbols, it contained half of the Greek alphabet. I didn't know what these letters were, how they were pronounced, or how to use them at all. Everything in one book! I then decided that I would never understand this. It looks so unattainable, but day after day you progress through the tutorial and learn more and more. One day you open the page and realize that this is a second-order derivative, as if the fog had suddenly cleared away. The lesson I learned is that hard work dispels ignorance. Since then I have been using it in my life. You should not judge your knowledge by how difficult or obvious it seems at first glance.

Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.

Curiously, we spend more time congratulating people who have achieved success than encouraging those who are only on the way to it.

Ignorance is a virus. Once it begins to spread, it can only be cured by the mind. For the sake of humanity, we must become this medicine.

It's okay not to know the answers to all the questions. It is better to admit your ignorance than to believe in answers that may be wrong. Pretending that we know everything closes the door to understanding what is really there.

Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that make up these molecules, originated in the melting pots that were once the cores of heavy stars. These stars poured their element-rich interiors into the galaxy's space and enriched the primordial clouds of interplanetary gas with the chemistry of life. So we are all connected with each other biologically, with the Earth - chemically, and with the rest of the universe - at the level of atoms. It's cool, I would say.

I look into the night sky and I know that we are part of the universe, we are in it. Perhaps more important than these two facts, however, is that the universe is in us. When I think about it, I raise my head. Many people feel small because the universe is so big. But I feel great because the atoms that I am made of were once part of those stars.

If humans one day die out because of some catastrophe, it will be the greatest tragedy in the history of life in the universe. Not because we were smart enough to protect ourselves, but because we didn't foresee our end. The dominant species that will replace us on a post-apocalyptic Earth will be left to wonder, looking at our skeletons in natural history museums, why the logimporous homo sapiens did no more than the prehistoric dinosaurs with chicken brains.

In science, when is human behavior, things become nonlinear. That's why simple physics, and sociology are complex.

People are emotionally vulnerable, gullible, hopelessly ignorant masters of an insignificantly small piece of the Universe, not having any value. Now run, play.

Many people feel small because they're small and the universe is big - but I feel big because my atoms came from those stars. There is a level of connectivity. That's really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant you want to feel like a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. This is our essence, just by being alive...

In the first years of a child's life teaching him to walk and talk, and then ask it to sit and be silent. With this something is wrong.

Whoever you were, doing search for the origins of life usually causes emotional excitement - as if knowledge began gives you a kind of friendship or even power over all that comes after. Thus, the truths of life apply to the universe: knowing your past is no less important than knowledge of its purpose.
No matter who you are, engaging in the quest to discover where and how things began tends to induce emotional fervor-as if knowing the beginning bestows upon you some form of fellowship with, or perhaps governance over, all that comes later. So what is true for life itself is no less true for the universe: knowing where you came from is no less important than knowing where you are going.

It is considered that each of the emerging scientific truth goes through three phases. First people say: "This can't be." Then they say: "This is contrary to the Bible." In the end, they say, "and always was".
It has been said that every great emerging scientific truth goes to three phases: First people say: "It can't be true". Second they say: "It conflicts with the bible." Third they say: "It's true all along."
