Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy! Haha, that might've been a little corny. Mr. Nye, I hope you find the time to read this, I used to be a huge fan of yours in elementary school. However, I lost contact with you after entering middle school. I'm 20 years old now, and just about 2 years ago I somehow stumbled upon your name on one of the greatest websites ever, the almighty YouTube. I was instantly hooked to you and your videos on there.

Through Tyson’s use of ethical appeals, allusions, and hypothetical scenarios, he is able to effectively convince

In his article “The Cosmic Perspective”, Neil DeGrasse Tyson introduces us to the idea of the cosmic perspective. This concept puts all humanity in their place, for we are not the center of the universe. Tyson accomplishes this by stating that the issues that seem so big to us are nothing when you see them with the cosmic perspective. He also talks about how the earth is so small that it's like a speck of dust compared to the universe. He goes on to say that without the cosmic perspective we wouldn't

Neil deGrasse Tyson grew up in New York and became interested in astronomy at the age of nine after he visited the Hayden Planetarium. After visiting the planetarium, he would frequently sit on the roof of his apartment building and look at the night sky through a telescope. This new-found love of Astronomy led to him attending the Bronx High School of Science where his education specialized in Astronomy. He was so in love with Astrophysics that by the age of fifteen he was giving lectures on the

Over time resistance to change is replaced by the adoration of beauty through scientific inquiry. Resistance to change springs from ignorance and fear. People rejected Galileo’s heliocentric model of the universe without even studying the science (177). People would have rather falsely believed that they were at the center of creation then have to admit that they were the third planet from the sun. They rejected Galileo’s new discovery out of fear and embellished themselves in their ignorance.

The principle of discovery is one that humankind has been inevitably drawn to since before they could be considered “Human”. This principle of desire for knowledge and information still exists today, though in somewhat different forms. While we as a species once sought discovery simply because it was needed for survival, we know seek knowledge

Frankenstein, too, found himself in a pressured situation. Although most of it came from himself, some did come from his professors—science was not something the general public knew much about and your careers did not depend on publishing papers in scientific journals so there was less pressure from society. While Frankenstein got a lot of reinforcement and positivity from M. Waldman, M. Krempe was more uptight and strict. Because Frankenstein studied alchemy and pseudoscience, M. Krempe rudely commented
