Neil deGrasse Tyson: Do you think a lot of our political problems would go away if we replaced all the members of Congress and all the state Politicians just replaced them all with scientists? Neil, I don't think you need everyone in there to be a scientist. All you need is someone who knows how to listen to a Scientist Scientists are not famous for their charisma to get elected right? So I think that's unrealistic You just need politicians with an ear to scientists and you know what would happen in that future.
