YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow do you get to be a science bad ass in the eyes of Neil deGrasse Tyson? Find out when your own personal astrophysicist – and chauffeur – tells your fellow passengers Chuck Nice and Charles Liu all about astronomer Erik Holmberg. While stuck in traffic on Manhattan's West Side Highway, Neil describes how, back in 1941, long before modern computers, Holmberg simulated colliding galaxies using light bulbs and light meters, with light as a proxy for gravity. Don’t miss the “astrophysicist fist bump.”
