    The Universe has many hilarious aspects. So I should not get credit for a sense of humor if all I do is point this out.

        @neiltyson But isn't finding humor in things and pointing out the funny to those its not obvious to exactly what a sense of humor is?

        @neiltyson How certain are you the universe began from a big bang? I hear a physicist is saying that theory is wrong.

        @neiltyson Also; different people have different senses of humor. Humor can ultimately unite or divide us.

        @neiltyson One funny thing is how humans think we're so evolved. In a cosmic sense, we're only in our infancy. #BabySteps
