    http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nosacredcows/2017/10/neil-degrasse-tyson-accused-of-rape/ From blog post: First of all, I love NGT a lot and have a very hard time imagining these allegations as true. Secondly, WTF? It is completely premature and irresponsible to post what is essentially gossip...

    Neil deGrasse Tyson -- a liability

    Tyson is a B.S. artist. Not as influential as Trump but a B.S. artist regardless. Both Trump and Tyson rose to prominence on the wave of an ignorant populace that values entertainment over rigor and accuracy. Fareed Zakaria talks about Trump as a B.S. artist. Zakaria quotes Harry Frankfort...

    Is the Dunning Kruger effect present in children?

    Neil Degrasse Tyson on atheism and agnosticism

    Awhile ago I came across this interview with NDT where he claims he's not an atheist, but an agnostic. His reason for avoiding the atheist label (while he is an atheist by definition...) appears to stem from wanting to not be grouped with the anti-theists and gnostic atheists...

    Merged The Fabrications of Neil deGrasse Tyson

    I attended TAM when Neil deGrasse Tyson was the keynote speaker, and I found him incredibly engaging. I also enjoyed the Cosmos reboot. So I'd consider myself a fan, but lately I've come across some disturbing allegations that Tyson has been making up quotes that do not exist. I'm...

    Wanna Hear Neil deGrasse Tyson Drop The F-Bomb?

    A nice tribute to Dr. Tyson being inducted into the Houdini Hall of Honor. At 1:17 he drops the F-bomb in regard to a certain subject (and I couldn't agree more). I just thought it was funny because I've never heard him use an expletive before. And at a JREF event, no less...

    Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Bill Maher

    Did anyone just see Neil DeGrasse Tyson rip it up on Bill Maher tonight. I don't think I could have imagined a better use of his spotlight. And with Maher being sympathetic. It was beautiful. It was cathartic. His comment about the housing crisis in particular.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson - People at the equator would float

    According to Neil deGrasse Tyson's twitter feed: http://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/12578210448 If the Earth spun 18 times faster he says that people at the equator would float.... I'm sure I'm missing something, but if they were floating, how would they retain the angular moment required to...
