For astrophysicists, "Interstellar" is probably like being a kid in a candy store. But how realistic is it? The one and only Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about the realism of "Interstellar" and how the Matthew McConaghey-led space epic stacks up to some of his favorite science fiction flicks.

    That lady was an awesome interviewer. She asks questions and then shuts up to let the guest speak. Kudos to her.
  • @dariusdafigga
    The way Neil simplifies things to an easy understanding makes you feel smart enough to have a conversation with him
  • @Drewsterman777
    I like this interviewer because she actually let's Tyson explain everything without interrupting him every other sentence. She also seemed to be really into the explanations and didn't seem bored or uninterested at all. She showed genuine curiosity and I truly appreciate that in an interviewer. Kudos.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson really just explained that you can’t change the past because it’s already there. Neil deGrasse Tyson explained the fourth dimension in a way no one else could, yet made it seem simple. I love this guy.

    Trying to understand interstellar 5D in my 3D world . Watching on a 2D screen and understanding in my 1D brain
  • The way he explained the waves in such a simple way that I couldn't understand before but now do just blew my mind..."The tide doesn't come in, we rotate around them"
  • If it wasn't for this guy, I would never have understand some of these concepts. He always makes it so easy to understand. Thank you Sir for that.
  • @TheoCynical
    It takes a smarter person to clearly explain intelligence while respecting the person while not patronizing them. Thank you, Neil deGrasse Tyson!
  • @Decade_1703
    Well if Tyson agrees with the science of Interstellar, you know the movie is awesome.
  • @MrUrbanbogan

    “If there’s a black hole here and not over there, go over there” - Neil deGrasse Tyson

    Interstellar is my favorite movie, I’ve seen it hundreds of times but one scene that always makes me emotional is when Murph asks her Father if her left her there to die because I know every child’s worst fear is to be abandoned by their parents, it doesn’t matter how old they are.
  • @PHOTOM42
    This is literally my favorite interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson. The woman is obviously enamored and into him, but in some ways we all are. I love her emotions and glances and arm movements. She is flirting with him, but he keeps it cool and scientific throughout the interview. I just like seeing it. This is what life is all about. Enjoy life everyone.
  • @brandonsg1367
    If the interviewer was Jimmy Fallon, he’d constantly interrupt Neil with dumb jokes and fake laugh way too much
  • @darkacion9276
    I love how he's always enthusiastic talking about space. And loved how he gave the answer to her Black hole question, when it just swept away in conversation.
  • @gumnaamaadmi007
    What a lovely interviewer. By that, I do not mean her looks but she actually let her guest speak. No fake laughing, no irritating interruptions. She was clearly a match for him.
