I bet the guy asking the question agrees, it's just he wanted to get Neil all razzed up.

Neil was really on his game in this video. Hilarious and interesting.

I'm glad that there's such a cool popularizer of science.

I would like to lock Kirk Cameron in a room with rabid dogs, but then we're just different people, I suppose.

It's just no fair. The guy is a preeminent physicist AND a professional comedian? (Who never gets heckled by the way?!)

This is why we have the ignorant and assholes among us. The Universe is always in balance.

Change "UFO" to "God" in his argument and you have a strong Athiest viewpoint.

Love the optical illusions = brain failures and the UFO ashtray.

I love that he does all of this with no attacking, no anger, no disrespect. He does it out of a love of science and information and wonder. He would gladly tell everyone on earth if there was real proof of an alien encounter I'm sure of it.

The fact that he talks to, and not down to, but at the right level to that kid, also shows that he has empathy and understanding of people.

This is superb. Just superb, and should be watched by anyone who believes in UFOs.

Of course, I'm sure they'll trumpet something like 'But, but there IS physical evidence'... like something, someone claims is from a UFO but has never been proven to be anything but earthborn

Either I'm some kind of genius, or you guys are way too easily impressed, because I thought this was a pretty average answer. Oh well.

Like the guy. Liked his answer. Don't think it was mind blowing. Would rather have heard him talk about real science topics like quantum entanglement or something.

Please tell me we can't all agree that there is a large degree of *comedy brought forth by Mr. Tyson!

He goes really slowly though... and seems to say everything three times at least... Mind-blowing not so much. Entertaining though.

You should watch it again because you seem to have missed his first point: "UFO" does not mean "alien spacecraft". There's nothing wrong with believing in UFOs; they're everywhere. Just don't jump to the conclusion that they're supernatural.

I don't think quantum physics is his specialty. Also you don't have to go very deep into quantum physics to step from established facts to pure speculation. It can be interesting but also very misleading to the general public. (Why I personally don't like the way Michio Kaku usually explains stuff on TV...)

Anyway, Neil's pretty good at speaking relevant (and funny) sentences without much of a pause. It often feels almost like a prepared speech.
