Neil deGrasse Tyson & Joe Rogan Discuss Bad Science in Movies

I love you Neil, but this wasn’t ‘Joe and Neil discuss’ this was Neil lectures Joe lmao

This is why "The Expanse" is my all time favorite science fiction!

I had two teachers in high school that taught me to do the research. One was a history teacher. He made us learn how to use the library to research our papers. He knew who used the library to write the papers and who used the textbooks and the encyclopedia. If you used the library you got an A+ on the paper and those who did not got a C. The other teacher was a Geometry teacher. On the first day of class, He gave us a problem. We had the year to solve the problem. If we solved the problem you would get an A for the year. The problem was to determine what 7 raised to the 1000 power equals. When the end of the year came around, the teacher asked if anyone has the answer to the problem. Nobody had it. I tried, I got to 7 raised to the 40 power or realized the number was huge and gave up trying to get the number. The primary computer at the time was a pencil and a piece of paper. Computer were just getting into the schools. I even tried it but I was not in the computer club and had to rely on their kindness. They tried but gave up. Somewhere I still have the paper tape with the program punched into it. The teacher said there was no answer, and the number went to infinity. He did say the last number was a seven. I raised my hand and said sir you are mistaken. The number is a finite number it has about 800 digits and the last number is something like 9,7,0 or 1. He asked how I knew it was a finite number? I said first you told us the last number was a 7, that denotes an end to the number. Second 10 raised to the 1000 power is a 1 with a thousand zeros behind it. Third 10 raised to the 1000th power is a larger than 7 raised to a 1000. Forth the last number of the 7 raised to a power starts to follow a sequence of n numbers. This sequence repeats some 250 times and stops with 3 numbers left over and that 3rd number is the last number which is a 7. He did not give me an A but he did raise my grade from a C to a B. I was the only one who did the work to try to answer the problem and to contest the teacher answer.

the fuck was up with that ivermectin bullshit? anyone ever gonna call that out? he listens to science except for that?

Going to the back of the racks for this one.

I love the statement about the space treaty at the end, however, I think the idea of the space treaty in part was to show that we can coexist somewhere, so maybe putting the cart before the horse, they said "Let's start with space, this new frontier."

"I don't believe in anything that hasn't been credibly verified, I don't deny anything that hasn't been credibly debunked."

Love NDT and Startalk. Can’t stand Joe Rogan.

I like seeing Dr. Tyson on Rogan. I have no longer a need to watch Rogan be gullible to whatever clown is sitting across from him, but at least NdT gives a dose of some reality to that audience.

When people say they don't eat microwaved food, a lot of them might be afraid of the microwaves but there are also many who just do not like food especially produced for microwave cooking because of the ingredients.

I happen to know that microwaves change the laws of probability . I have a soup bowl that has a handle similar to coffee cup. The handle should roughly be pointed towards the front about half the time when the door is opened, but 90% of the time it is pointed towards the back, annoying me profusely. The ONLY possible conclusion is that microwaves change the laws of probability. ;-)

I loved his last comment : "Demonstrate to me, on Earth, you know how not kill one or another )then I'll believe your space threaty) !!"

I have tattoos and I love what you said about tattoos. I have grown in thought about some tattoos and I just own that I was in a different space and I appreciate the growth and I have added more tattoos when I do grow in thought. I love the idea of seeing how I grew and having something to show where I’ve been and some things I never grew in thought about.

Zeon Zum Deikun was a philosopher who developed Contolism: a philosophical synthesis of both Ereism (an extreme form of Environmentalism, positing that Earth is sacred, and mankind was always meant to leave it and live in space) and Sideism

Whack -a do rogan doesn't belong in the same room with Mr Tyson.

I'm only venting! At this point in our technological advancement, shouldn't all of our devices be free of charge? We rely on them to survive in the modern world.

What is the science the producer of Star Wars didn't want you to tweet?

I like what it's called now...the Ministry of Defense, to create technologies that cancel any attack would be ideal!

I hope one of my hero Mr Tyson will be open to debate with Terrance Howard’s thinking on physics and the universe

5:20 put this in the sky and on t shirts!
