Interaction

I got to talk over the phone with astrophysicist Niel Tyson from the Department of Astrophysics and Hayden Planetarium in the American museum of Natural History. He informed me on a lot of interesting data that scientists have discovered. He and other astrophysicists belive that there is a great chance that life could exist elsewhere. In addition to my Q&A, he talked to me about the Copernican principle. I cant remember everything about it since it was extremely detailed and covered many ideas.

Niel was a pretty cool person. I enjoyed the interview because he was always joking about things as well as giving me information. I remember him telling me about his plane rides with passengers that found out he was an Astrophysicist and bombarded him with questions similar to like I did. He told me to think that we are the only people out there is almost egocentric. He is a really smart person and I enjoyed talking with him.
