    If your Personal Beliefs deny what’s objectively true about the world, then they're more accurately called Personal Delusions

        @Dr00bs Yup. Me thinking the universe chose me would count as a full-up personal delusion.

        @neiltyson if blue travels faster than red, why are sports cars predominantly red and not blue? Maybe all the blue ones are gone idk..😬

        @ABtheAgent Blue doesn't travels faster! Blue has larger frequency but its wavelength is smaller, so that velocity is constant. @neiltyson

        @twistedpuppet Then they’re not Delusions. They’re just Beliefs. My Tweet does not reference these.

        @neiltyson Scientists have often been wrong about their theories including Einstein. What is delusional: assuming science is absolute truth

        @Johnsonwonson @neiltyson science is made up of human beings - history of science has constantly changed. sciece is not absolute truth.

        @jamenta @neiltyson plus even if science is wrong at a particular time, that doesn't make all beliefs true. Science still is the best bet.

        @jamenta @neiltyson you cant compare a religion to the scientific process, it's just not the same thing! Do you believe in objective truth?

        @Johnsonwonson @neiltyson Sure I can compare it. Both are attempting to seek ultimate truths. Neither one is absolute.
