 :'''Interviewer''': If you could meet and talk with any scientist who’s ever lived, who would it be and why?
-:'''Tyson''': Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton! No question about it. Isaac Newton. The smartest person ever, ever to walk the face of this earth. You read his writings; the man was connected to the universe, in spooky ways. The most successful scientists in the history of the world are those who pose the right questions. If I asked you “at what temperature does the number seven melt? What’s the square root of a pork chop?” These are meaningless questions, maybe philosophers will run with them, but scientific -- they’re scientifically meaningless. Abandon them - go on to the next problem. Newton, his questions, reached into the soul of the universe and he pulled out insights and wisdom that transformed our understanding of our place in the cosmos. Somebody said “Isaac why is it that Planets orbit in the shape you call ellipses rather than circles, why that shape?” and he says “you know, I’ll get back to you on that, I’ll get back to you.” [He] goes away for a few months [and] come[s] back “here is the answer, here is the answer, here is why gravity produces ellipses for orbits.” The guys says, “how did you finally figure that out?” “Well, I had to invent this new kind of mathematics to do it.” He invented calculus! Most of us sweat through it for multiple years in school just to learn it. He invented it practically on a dare. He discovered the laws of motion, the laws of gravity, the laws of optics, then he turned 26. Ok?
