      Not that anybody’s asked, but New Years Day on the Gregorian Calendar is a cosmically arbitrary event, carrying no Astronomical significance at all.

      It doesn’t have any nutritional significance either, according to my restaurateur friend, but somehow he still manages to grasp that it’s an important cultural event that doesn’t need filtering through his professional lens and explaining as if everyone were a moron.

      You were educated at Oxford, so I’m not surprised that some (or most?) of what, and how I Tweet is below you. (p.s. Looks like we both like wine. Perhaps that will one day bring us together.)

          How is this professional that a scientist makes fun of someone's degree he worked for? This is why science is a joke now. A big joke full of lies.

          I don’t think that’s what Tyson was doing. In fact, I think he was doing the opposite: i.e. suggesting that I’m not the audience for the tweet. What he said wasn’t rude.

          Right not the audience like that's not condescending or anything. Maybe he should label them who is worthy of reading them. I am so sorry I saw it now. It's beneath me. 😆

          Do you see how he has people apologizing for him? This is what is not "Science". So how does he get so many convinced of his lies? Idk. I guess it's like that saying you keep repeating and the false becomes true.

          Some people inspire this reaction. When you criticize Sarah Palin, her fans say you are criticizing America. With Tyson, you are criticizing Science.

          That's the thing I don't believe in his fake science. He believes in climate change and so many lies about science. When he starts telling us about geoengineering and why that is done then I will listen to him. Until then his agenda is about making $.

          Reading the thread above my post, I think that neither party seems to grasp the honor of being the subject of slight sarcasm from someone like NDGT. Sheesh. Get a sense of humor. I'd give pretty much anything for that! 😆
