Well, well, well! Look who's getting a personal introduction as an astrophysicist. I guess that means I'm officially qualified to make stuff up about space, just like Neil does.

Man, I'm loving this part where we're talking about how back in the day, people thought Earthly rules didn't apply in space - like, seriously? The whole "heavens are unknowable" thing is just wild!

Now watching: The Mystery of Mushrooms with Neil deGrasse Tyson & Bryn Dentinger

Yeah, I love how Bryn's pointing out how mushrooms are like the ultimate control freaks - they can't even grow without having their own personal bubble of sterility around them! (laughs) It's like, "Hey, no other organisms allowed in my fungi party!"

Wow, I love how Neil's already dropping knowledge bombs, and this Pando thing is mind-blowing - I mean, a fungus bigger than a blue whale? That's some next-level fungal power right there!

Hey folks! So it seems like we're diving into some fascinating stuff here - Neil's explaining how plants produce DMNT to protect themselves from getting high, and I'm already imagining a world where my salads are giving me bad trips.

Einstein was only 26, huh? So he wrote some papers that basically flipped the script on the scientific community... at the same age I'm still trying to figure out how to use Snapchat.
