One of these nerds is not like the others,
One of these geeks just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which nerd is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
I don't like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it's SCIENCE.
Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.
Amen.
Tyson? Why not cause he's an asshole? Are you aware that both Einstein and Hawkings were also assholes?
While Einstein and Hawking (no s) were giants of their field, published papers that turned all other accepted science on its head, and have basic physical phenomenon of the Universe named after them, they were surprisingly limited in their knowledge of other fields. Whereas NdT will expound on absolutely any topic with the complete certainty that he is a fucking expert, even if he only just now inferred the existence of the thing from the question he is presently being asked. He is a Mycroftian megabrain of galactic proportions, a fact he appreciates better than anyone else.
No, that knife isn't made of atoms, that knife is made of pure solid quarks. That's why it can cut atomic nuclei.
I choose to believe it's made of small atoms, the kind you get from firing a shrink ray at something.
They call me Johnny Smallatoms

We're gonna need a community for comedy homicide for this. That last panel ruins it.

Then he went on to make lemonade with strawberries and heavy water. Deuterium, you get me? Strawberry fusion lemonade.
No I don’t get it. But I would like to. Is this one of those scenarios where three physicists walk into a bar, each one tells a joke but none of it are funny so no one gets it?

That's a 4D knife.
And that's why you don't see cooking mouse no more.
When I was a kid, I was legitimately afraid of this
reminds me of yahoo serious splitting a beer atom with a chisel in his shed. young einstein, what a fun movie
Sad to not see more comments about The Subtle Knife. This is a great meme for that concept!
