    Oh yeah. A "reality TV" "physicist" who's done nothing more than academia, TV, and self-promoting "documentaries". Pffffffttttt.

    Going purely ad hominem instead of talking about the actual content? Come on, that's too easy. You can do better than that.

    Actually, I don't think that he and his fellow MAGA cult members can. At least they have never shown any such abilities.

    Diversion is the only way they know of in any discussion that is going over their heads.

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.

    Well, I actually *WAS* commenting on the actual content. The other
    poster was extolling the opinion of the fake "physicist", and I was discounting his qualifications. Completely referencing the actual
    content. Pffffffffttttt.

    Weill, the minor parts of the content in that case. Anyways, who decides who is a "fake" physicist and who is not?

    Diversion is the only way they know of in any discussion that is going

    And one-liners ... never an argumented point of view.

    Neil DeGrasse-Tyson a fake physicist?

    Are you really an idiot or do you just want to appear to be one?

    The list of his academic endeavours and accomplishments is not endless, but it looks like it because it's so long. He's an astro-phycist author of more than a dozen books about space, a fine list of research publications, 22 honorary doctorates, a ton of awards ... he4s one of the most accomplished physicists ever.
