The best educators are the ones that inspire their students. That inspiration comes from a passion that teachers have for the subject they're teaching. Most commonly, that person spent their lives studying that subject, and they bring an infectious enthusiasm to the audience. I think many people have that enthusiasm, but they are prevented from being teachers because they didn't go through the teacher mill. Now you have teachers who have been through the teacher mill, yet they have no capacity to inspire anyone at all. It's the inspired student that continues to learn on their own. That's what separates the real achievers in the world from those who pedal along, finishing assignments.
Нил Деграсс Тайсон знаменитые цитаты
The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And along the way, lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.
Yes, the universe had a beginning. Yes, the universe continues to evolve. And yes, every one of our body's atoms is traceable to the big bang and to the thermonuclear furnace within high-mass stars. We are not simply in the universe, we are part of it. We are born from it. One might even say we have been empowered by the universe to figure itself out — and we have only just begun.
If you start wielding a hammer, then all your problems look like nails. And maybe they’re not. Maybe it's more subtle than that. And so your toolkit has to be able to morph into what is necessary for what it is that you confront at that moment.
Вариант: Когда берёшь в руки молоток, все проблемы становятся похожи на гвозди. А может, они не гвозди. Может, всё тоньше. Поэтому инструментарию должно хватать гибкости превращаться в то, что нужно для текущей задачи.
В итоге они говорят: «А так всегда и было».
It has been said that every great emerging scientific truth goes to three phases: First people say: «It can't be true». Second they say: «It conflicts with the bible.» Third they say: «It's true all along.»
Вариант: Считается, что каждая нарождающаяся научная истина проходит три фазы. Сначала люди говорят: «Этого не может быть». Затем они говорят: «Это противоречит библии». В итоге они говорят: «А так всегда и было».
Нил Деграсс Тайсон Цитаты о жизни
Мой ответ: «нет», — потому что мы об этом узнаем, только когда оно достигнет нашего... нашего места в пространстве-времени. Мы получаем толчки, когда природа решает, что настало время: будь то скорость звука, скорость света, скорость электрических импульсов — мы всегда будем жертвами временной задержки между окружающей нас информацией и нашей способностью её получить.
Life is too short for me to worry about something I have no control over that I don’t even know will happen. People ask ‘if Earth is going to be swallowed by a black hole or if there is some disturbance in the spacetime continuum should we worry about it?’. My answer is ‘no’ because you won’t know about it until it crosses your... your place in space-time. Your beats come to you when nature decides it’s the right time... be it the speed of sound, the speed of light, the speed of electrical impulses we will forever be victims of the time delay between information around us and our capacity to receive it.
Нил Деграсс Тайсон цитаты
Kids are never the problem. They are born scientists. The problem is always the adults. They beat the curiosity out of the kids. They out-number kids. They vote. They wield resources. That's why my public focus is primarily adults.
Вариант: Проблема никогда не бывает в детях. Они рождаются учёными. Проблема всегда во взрослых. Они выбивают из детей любопытство. Их больше, чем детей. Они голосуют. Они владеют ресурсами. Поэтому мои общественные коммуникации в основном направлены на взрослых.
„Слова, из которых состоят вопросы, могут вовсе не быть вопросами.“
Words that make questions may not be questions at all.
Вариант: Слова, из которых состоят вопросы, могут вовсе не быть вопросами.
Science is a cooperative enterprise, spanning the generations. It's the passing of a torch from teacher, to student, to teacher. A community of minds reaching back to antiquity and forward to the stars.
Вариант: Наука — это совместное предприятие, которое объединяет усилия поколений. Это передача эстафеты от учителя ученику и следующему учителю. Это сообщество мыслителей, обращающихся к древности и стремящихся к звёздам.
Creativity is seeing what everyone else sees, but then thinking a new thought that has never been thought before and expressing it somehow.* Кем бы ты ни был, занятие поисками истоков бытия обычно вызывает эмоциональный азарт — как будто знание начал наделяет тебя неким приятельством или даже властью над всем, что будет после. Таким образом, истины жизни распространяются и на вселенную: знание своего прошлого ничуть не менее важно, чем знание своей цели.
No matter who you are, engaging in the quest to discover where and how things began tends to induce emotional fervor—as if knowing the beginning bestows upon you some form of fellowship with, or perhaps governance over, all that comes later. So what is true for life itself is no less true for the universe: knowing where you came from is no less important than knowing where you are going.
The Theory of Evolution, like the Theory of Gravity, is a scientific fact. Evolution really happened. Accepting our kinship with all life on earth is not only solid science, in my view, it's also a soaring spiritual experience.
