Neil deGrasse Tyson on why we’re wired for science, and how originality differs in science and art.

Here’s the thought that most grabbed me from the video:

“If I discover a scientific idea, surely someone else would’ve discovered the same idea had I not done so. Whereas, look at Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”—if he didn’t paint “Starry Night,” nobody’s gonna paint “Starry Night.” So, in that regard, the arts are more individual to the creative person than a scientific idea is to the one who comes up with it—but, nonetheless, they are both human activities.
