The rub here is find a to keep a mind open enough to be able to see the saturn's rings. But on the other hand, you don't want to be so open minded that you just believe every whacky idea that every other person comes up with. The most famous example of this was in 18 95 when lord kelvin asked if new people should enter physics. He basically grated the entire field by saying, now you're just bookkeeping, ok? And those few clouds became the berthing experiments for all of quantum physics. In there o became the birthing things that needed explanation from einstein's relativity.

In this thought-provoking conversation on life, the universe, and everything, Neil deGrasse Tyson tackles the world’s most important philosophical questions about the universe with wit, wisdom, and cutting-edge science. For science geeks, space and physics nerds, and all who want to understand their place in the universe, this enlightening new book offers a unique take on the mysteries and curiosities of the cosmos, building on rich material from his beloved StarTalk podcast, along with dozens of his most popular tweets on science. Shermer and Tyson discuss: the universe, multiverse, big bang, big rip, dark matter, dark energy, gravity, gravitational waves, origins of morality, hard problem of consciousness, consensus science, the unknown, Fermi’s paradox, extraterrestrials, and artificial intelligence.
