HE WANTS TO EDUCATE US ADULTS ON

THE WORLD."                     
>> A FOOD CALORIE IS THE ALT OF 
ENERGY IT TAKES TO RAISE ONE    
LITER OF WATER ONE DEGREE       
CELSIUS.                        
IT'S A MEASURE OF HEAT ENERGY.  
IT DOESN'T TELL YOU WHETHER OR  
NOT THE FOOD IS HEALTHY, OR GOOD
FOR YOU OR BAD FOR YOU.         
IT'S JUST A MEASURE OF HEAT     
ENERGY.                         
AS ALWAYS, COME ON.             
IT'S NETFLIX.                   
LET'S BURN SOMETHING.           
>> GOOD MORNING.                
NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE.          
>> IT'S SO GOOD TO BE HAD.      
>> YES.                         
TELL US ABOUT THIS SHOW.        
>> IT'S, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK  
AFTER THE "TODAY" SHOW, AT 9:00,
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT SHOW ON 
TELEVISION.                     
IT'S NOT REALLY ON TELEVISION.  
IT'S ON THE ELECTRIC INTERNET   
THAT KIDS WATCH.                
AND CALLED ON THE SERVICE.      
THE WHOLE IDEA IS SCIENCE IS    
IMPORTANT TO OUR SOCIETY.       
IT'S HOW WE EAT.                
IT'S HOW WE COMMUNICATE.        
IT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT    
NOW.                            
WE HAVE ELECTRONIC CAMERA       
MACHINES THAT ARE A RESULT OF   
OUR DISCOVERIES MADE IN SCIENCE.
WE WANT EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD  
TO BE AWARE OF FUNDAMENTALS IN  
SCIENCE.                        
WE'RE DOING A SHOW ABOUT IT.    
I'M EXCITED YOU GUYS.           
IT'S COOL.                      
>> ALL RIGHT.                   
YOU ARE GOING TO QUIZ US.       
>> YES, OF COURSE.              
>> WE HAVE REHEARSED AND        
REHEARSED THIS.                 
BY THAT, I MEAN WE HAVE NEVER   
REHEARSED THIS.                 
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS, WE'RE  
GOING TO HAVE A QUIZ.           
>> I THINK IT WILL BECOME       
OBVIOUS SHORTLY.                
>> WHETHER SOMETHING IS MYTH OR 
A FACT.                         
THESE ARE THINGS THAT SOUND     
FACTUAL AND MYTHICAL.           
IT IS UP TO YOU, THE ON-CAMERA  
PROFESSIONALS, TO COME UP WITH  
YOUR STRONG OPINION ABOUT THE   
TRUTH OR THE MYTH.              
>> YES.                         
>> PUNCH IT.                    
THERE ARE MORE VISITS TO        
EMERGENCY ROOMS DURING FULL     
MOONS THAN DURING ANY OTHER     
                                
THREE-DAY PERIOD IN THE MONTH.  
>> I SAY FACT.                  
>> MYTH.                        
>> I THINK MORE BABIES ARE BORN.
>> PEOPLE ACT WEIRD.            
>> WHAT IS THE PHASE OF THE MOON
RIGHT NOW?                      
NOBODY KNOWS.                   
>> IT'S DAYTIME.                
IT'S NOT UP.                    
>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN        
EVERYBODY KNEW THAT THERE WAS   
A -- THERE WAS A TIME WHEN      
EVERYBODY KNEW THE PHASE OF THE 
MOON.                           
THAT'S WHEN YOU COULD CONDUCT   
CERTAIN OPTIONS.                
BUT NOW, ELECTRIC LIGHTS, ALL   
DAY, ALL NIGHT, WE DON'T BOTHER.
THE MOON IS WANING A LITTLE BIT.
THERE'S MORE STARS IN THE SKY   
THAN GRAINS OF SAND ON A BEACH. 
>> FACT.                        
>> TWO MYTHS.                   
>> AL, OKAY -- THAT'S NOT WHAT I
MEANT.                          
WHY DON'T YOU AGREE?            
>> WELL, IT SOUNDS SO RIDICULOUS
THAT I FEEL LIKE WE DON'T KNOW  
HOW MANY STARS THERE ARE IN THE 
SKY.                            
BUT WE COULD FIND OUT --        
>> I THINK DYLAN IS RIGHT.      
I'M SAYING MYTH BECAUSE IT'S    
RIDICULOUS.                     
>> GET THIS.                    
THERE ARE ABOUT 100-TIMES AS    
MANY STARS IN THE SKY THAN THERE
ARE GRAINS OF SAND ON EARTH.    
>> WOW.                         
>> THIS IS THE WHOLE THING --   
THIS -- THE EXTENT OF CREATION, 
THE EXTENT OF THE COSMOS IS     
AMAZING.                        
IT'S OVERWHELMING.              
>> TIME FOR ONE MORE.           
>> HEAVENS.                     
THAT'S A PUN.                   
WATER DRAINS THE OTHER WAY IN   
AUSTRALIA.                      
>> MYTH.                        
>> I THINK THAT'S A FACT.       
>> IT'S FACT-ISH.               
YOU CAN COMPLETELY OVERWHELM IT 
WITH YOUR SWIRL OF YOUR HAND OR 
THE JETS OF YOUR TOILET BOWL.   
WHEN YOU GET A STORM -- AL, WHEN
YOU GET A STORM BIG ENOUGH,     
HUNDREDS OF MILES ACROSS, IT    
GOES CLOCKWISE IN THE SOUTHERN  
HEMISPHERE.                     
WE CALL COUNTERCLOCKWISE, IS    
CALLED ANTI-CLOCKWISE.          
IT'S THE PRODUCT OF TWO         
INVESTIGATORS OF ACCELERATION OF
GRAVITY AND --                  
>> THAT SPIN OF THE EARTH.      
>> IT'S NOT MAGIC, PEOPLE.      
>> IT'S SCIENCE.                
BILL NYE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  
AND OUR TIE AND
