Guess what the interviewer asked Neil deGrasse Tyson

Guess what the interviewer asked Neil deGrasse Tyson. I don't. Live life that way. Really? Yeah. It's a sensible question that you're asking me. I don't want to diminish the sensibility of it, but I want to say that's not how I view the world. The world is not there's the one question I need answered. The world is what do I need to learn so that I'm standing in a place I can yet imagine asking a question I have yet to think of? In other words, as the area of our knowledge grows, so too does the perimeter of our ignorance. And so, you say what one question? No, there'll be a bunch of questions. The area grows some more. I'm standing in a new place. Now there's a question I didn't even think could be asked before, and that's the question that matters there and then. But then there's another question later on as this frontier continues to advance. So I don't think about the one question or the two questions that matter. I think about questions yet to be dreamt of that we don't even see because we haven't taken the frontier to that vista yet. And so yeah, it's some of that that's unknowable, but I kind of like that. There's the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. One of the poems, I don't remember all the lines, but the one that matters to me most is learn to love the questions themselves. You trying to find answers and I'm trying to find the questions. Learn to love the questions themselves. This kind of brings me back to the top of the conversation where I was talking about, I've got a lot more questions these days.
