#NeilDeGrasseTyson on "Interstellar" - YouTube I heard ol Neil put her down .. Neil mentions again his favorite #MarkTwain quote here as he has in other interviews. "First get your facts straight, then distort them at your leisure." Around the 2 minute mark he describes how the tides are the planet rotating under a fixed tidal bulge of water . and everyone takes this clown to be the smartest man in the room. I like another Twain quote: there are lies, damned lies, and statistics . Clowning around with meandering nonsensical answers accompanied by over the top hand gestures is presented to us as #Science . &neo 2017-05-12 10:56:50 |
