Kyrie Irving vs. Neal deGrasse Tyson: Flat Earth

in #sports8 years ago

Hi guys,
I guess you've all heard how Kyrie Irving expressed his belief in the flat earth and how fast Neal deGrasse Tyson jumped to put him down. Why he felt the need to smash the basketball star, I don't know. Should we really think outside the box about this flat earth stuff and give it equal time?

It's weird how every generation of scientists forgets the previous generation of scientists were saying they knew the answers too. I'm not saying Neil is wrong, I'm saying the approach of scientists vehemently defending positions is wrong. We need more people asking questions and not relying on authority, which popular scientists should be encouraging, instead of bashing people who question establishment science, like Neil and Bill Nye on Tucker today.

True. It seems that we are only allowed to ask certain, limited questions that don’t rock the boat. Tyson went to all that trouble to jump down B.o.B’s throat, too, and quickly scurried to SNL to make sure we all got the point…. Of course, we can’t forget Bill Nye, the Science Guy’s continual, snide remarks on how such ideas are beneath the notice of true scientists.
