10:43Now PlayingDo rocks float? On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explore the idea that rocks are light...in density.
You'll learn more about density as Neil and Chuck dive into the evolution of ships and how asymmetric advantages would work in an alien invasion. How did Earth’s early days impact the composition of its crust? Neil explains why rocks are the third lightest stuff on Earth.
You'll also learn why the Earth is like a layered cocktail, how geophysicists figure out the density profile of the Earth, and why there seem to be so many meteorites in Antarctica.
