5:28Now PlayingIn this discussion, Neil deGrasse Tyson, alongside co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly, talks with neuroscientist Dean Buonomano about why humans evolved such a deep need to measure and synchronize time. They explore how timekeeping shaped human cooperation, survival, industrial society, and scientific breakthroughs—from Galileo Galilei’s pendulum observations to the role of clocks in factories, train schedules, and social coordination.
