Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Sun Doesn’t Always Rise In The East
Everyone’s heard the phrase “The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.” But, how true is it? Well, in this video, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate this popular phrase and the meaning behind it.
You’ll learn why the phrase is “broadly true but not true most of the time.” Neil tells us the one zone on Earth where the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West all the time. Then we ask, what happens if you live in the Arctic? And we explore why, when you’re on the North or South poles, “the sun rises everywhere.” Discover more about the term “solstice.”
We ponder the binary-star system from Star Wars and Neil tells us why that’s not exactly how things work. Lastly, we explore how the arc of the sun has been the foundation for many celebrations across history. All that, plus, we break down “Manhattanhenge.”

StarTalk Podcast: Cosmic Queries – Black Holes & Dark Energy with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Part II
On this episode of StarTalk Radio, we bring you Part II of Cosmic Queries – Black Holes and Dark Energy. Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are answering fan-submitted questions about what we know, and don’t know, about black holes and dark energy.
You’ll hear why a black hole’s consumption of matter does not overpower the evaporation caused by Hawking radiation. Neil tells us what’s actually “evaporating” during Hawking radiation. He also tells us two remarkable facts about black holes that are sure to blow your mind.
We discuss how a spy satellite accidently opened a new branch of astrophysics. Find out more about singularities. We investigate the singularity at the beginning of our universe and Neil explains when string theory needs to be brought to the table. Chuck shares how his son coined the word “ringularity.” We assess the possibility of black holes being used as an intergalactic highway system to connect one galaxy to the next.
Find out more about “white holes.” Discover more about supermassive black holes. We explore the nature of photons: how they can be pulled into black holes if they’re massless and why they travel along the fabric of spacetime. Adventure back in time to Sir Arthur Eddington’s expedition to uncover how light bends around the sun.
We ponder if dark energy and dark matter are “stuff” permeating from another universe into our own. Discover why light is trapped in our galaxy but gravity isn’t. We discuss the likelihood that intelligent life is more advanced than us. Lastly, Neil shares final thoughts on the delicate evolution of the tree of life.

Artificial intelligence, and with it robots and automation, is redefining business in unprecedented ways, with application in the Asia Pacific & Japan region leading the way in innovative and exciting ways. Is it a help or a hindrance? Promise or peril? Friend or foe? Or maybe a little bit of all, depending on how and why it is applied, who is applying it, and the ultimate end goals. The guests of the Hugh Thompson Show will explore with fun, fear and fascination the many layers of artificial intelligence and the role of cybersecurity in its application and potential to revolutionise global business. www.rsaconference.com/events/ap18/agenda/sessions/6778-The-Hugh-Thompson-Show-Artificial-Intelligence-APJ-Style
