RT @neiltyson For the Patriots to blame a change in temperature for 15% lower-pressures, requires balls to be inflated with 125-degree air.

@RVacchianoNYDN @neiltyson this has already been proven not to be true.

@ImTheReal_LT I'm going to go with the Harvard grad astrophysicist on this one, if you don't mind.

@RVacchianoNYDN oh, the Carnegie Mellon study wasn't good enough for you?

@ImTheReal_LT Stop. It wasn't a Carnegie Mellon study. It was a CM grad student.

@RVacchianoNYDN so it doesn't count? Nothing is going to get solved until we hear the investigation. Will be interesting if they r innocent.

@neiltyson One curiosity I had was whether the ball could be manipulated enough to increase its volume, thereby lowering pressure.

@neiltyson What about the balls near Uranus? Thanks for having fun with me on the Internet. Follow back,

. @neiltyson so you're saying It's possible.

@neiltyson Gauge pressure isn't an absolute measure; it's measured relative to atmospheric pressure. 15% dec. in gauge ≠ 15% lower pressure
