YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this Cosmic Query, a fan asks about the worst-case scenario for misuse of a warp drive. Sure enough, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson comes up with one involving backwards time travel that creates a timeline-destroying paradox. Then it gets really weird, when Neil and co-host Eugene Mirman talk about altering history, killing grandparents, sex and jumping out of closets. Watch for yourself.
