Stars Ask Neil Their Deep Questions... Again!

Published 2024-04-27
Comedian Kevin Hart asks if space can take the wrinkles out of a pair of wrinkly pants. We discuss ways you would iron clothes while still wearing them in zero gravity and whether Kevin would have a space valet. Musician Tommy James asks a question about his morning coffee and time travel.
Comedian Nikki Glaser asks about aliens and how sure we are that they exist. We break down the composition of the universe, how common the ingredients for life are, and silicon-based life. How much of space has SETI even looked at? Plus, we explore if love is real. Do other species experience love? Could aliens experience love?
Musician Jack White asks about how rare gold is in the universe and on the planet we live on. Learn about how gravity sorts elements and how much gold can be found in asteroids. Cam Johnson, of the Brooklyn Nets, asks if we can feel the different speeds of Earth’s rotation at different longitudes. Is there one part of the Earth that isn’t rotating?

Chuck is funny and more intelligent than he seems or wants you to believe to cover his jokes. I made a harsh comment against him in the past, I take it back.

I'm surprised that I never knew how interested I was in science until listening to Tyson. He makes learning things fun

I like how Neil always is courteous enough to laugh at Chuck's jokes, regardless of how corny they are.
