YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA fan asks whether our solar system could be an atom or the Milky Way a molecule-- and no, he's not quoting "Animal House." For the scientific, rather than philosophic, answer to this Cosmic Query, Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the difference between classical physics and quantum physics, and the macroscopic and microscopic worlds. Comic co-host Eugene Mirman passes up the Animal House reference, too, choosing instead to reference "Mork & Mindy."
