Here’s a fantastic interview in which Colbert (out of character) interviews astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson at Montclair Kimberly Academy in early 2010, so some may have seen it, but it was uploaded to YouTube Nov 2011, and I’ve just found out about it and watched it. The story about Cameron’s _Titanic_ is worth your time, believe me.

The only warning I’d give is it’s almost 90 minutes long, but it’s so good I wanted to share it.

Mods, if this isn’t the right place, please move. I don’t think it’s mundane and pointless, it’s about science so it may not fit in CS, I’m not asking a question so GQ is out, I’m not debating anything, etc. But move as you see fit.

Now the link:

Well, you’re just sharing something, rather than seeking opinions on something (though people are certainly free to share what they think). So I’m moving this to MPSIMS … Mucho Powerful Science I Must Share. 🙂
