Dr. Tyson: Why do we think that space and time are emergent and not fundamental? He says a whale weighs nothing because it lives in the water, which is more buoyant than air. Dr. Tyson talks to author Brian Green about his new book The Elegant Universe.
Is it time to rethink string theory? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore a mix of questions about the fundamental properties of the universe, particles, the speed of light and more!
