3. You are tasked to evaluate/criticize/react to/reflect on the following
statements that are directly taken from the video material.

“Knowledge is always a good thing because it empowers you to

react and to do something if there is something that has to be
done.” – Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

“What about Oppenheimer’s invention of the bomb… should it

not have been discovered?” – Stephen Colbert

“The core of distrust in Science is not because of what it can do,

but because of the absence of an understanding of what it can
actually do.” – Dr. Tyson

“People have a misconception that projects for scientific

discoveries are “acts of burning taxes” but people don’t get it… if
they continue thinking this way – that’s the beginning of the end
of their culture.” – Dr. Tyson
