Explore Astrophysics with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Christian's Journey

[Whateverworks]

Hello all.
Im new in physics and just found this forum random
eventho I was looking for a forum like this.
Im from Denmark and the latest half year
I have been extremely intereset in science and astro physics.
One of my big motivations to explore my curiosity in science is Neil Degrasse Tyson
I watched many of his programs and interviews.
I am planning to buy some of his books like
Death By Black Hole
and
The Sky Is Not the Limit.
But as you can imagine none of our shops in
Denmark have them so I need to order over the internet.

My question to you is;
If I have common knowledge in science and can read decent English do you have any books shows or interviews, with preferably an astrophysics, you can recommend?

Hello Christian, welcome to the forum! It's great to hear that you have a growing interest in science and astrophysics. Neil Degrasse Tyson is definitely a great inspiration for many in the field. As for book recommendations, here are a few that I would suggest:

1. "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking - This book is a classic in the field of astrophysics and is a great read for anyone interested in learning more about the universe, black holes, and the big bang theory.

2. "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil Degrasse Tyson - This book is a great introduction to astrophysics and is written in a way that is easy to understand for those who may not have a strong background in science.

3. "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan - This book is a must-read for anyone interested in astrophysics and the history of our universe. It covers a wide range of topics and is written in a captivating and thought-provoking style.

As for shows and interviews, I highly recommend checking out "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey", which is a television series hosted by Neil Degrasse Tyson. It covers a wide range of topics in astrophysics and is visually stunning.

I hope these recommendations help you in your journey to learn more about astrophysics. Happy reading!
