I want to take your masterclass, it seems pretty interesting, I also read you book "Astrophysics for young people in a hurry", I like it very much. My question is, where did you learn the philosopy that you teach in the masterclass?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Thanks for the question. Mostly "field experience". Trial and error. Life is, itself a classroom, provided you pay attention to what goes on around you. Consider further that when you are talking you are not learning. So make sure to listen to others.

I read two of your books COSMIC QUERIES and STARRY MESSENGER. Both are very thought provoking. Despite the amazing progress made in the field of science and technology a vast majority of the population especially in developing countries are still immersed in superstitious beliefs. Scientific knowledge and scientific thinking do not come down to common man. what could be a solution to this?

Do you think healthy sceptisisme has taken a turn to where people belive in less and less they hear, true or not? Fake news coming from high authority people like presidents and other worldleaders. Couls this explain conspiracy-theorists and all those. Or what do you think is the cause of false beliefs?
