I don't think any of us have free choice or free will. That's another thing. No, I would say that it is possible to speciate. One of the ways you make, you split a species is you strand a variety of yourself in a place and then there's no more communication. And maybe this is outside of your purview. What would that do to us as a species? Would they be that much different from not having any of the effects of being on this spinning rock going around this little teeny star that we live in right now? We'll get back to that.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and theoretical physicist and author Brian Greene answer questions from our fans about string theory, the fabric of spacetime, interstellar travel, free will, and the meaning of life.
