Charles Liu Wipes the Floor with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson takes us back to his high school days with co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly to break down the physics of Olympic wrestling, featuring our Geek-in-Chief astrophysicist Charles Liu. Is there an ultimate technique to winning gold? What is Greco-Roman style wrestling? From a physics standpoint what is the ultimate wrestling move? Would fellow wrestlers agree? Neil regales us with anecdotes from his time wrestling and more. Find out just how much your weight matters when trying to win a match and how they make Olympic-style wrestling more action-packed. All that, plus, did Charles Liu ever get a sweet taste of victory? About the prints that flank Neil in this video: "Black Swan” & "White Swan" limited edition serigraph prints by Coast Salish artist Jane Kwatleematt Marston.
