@Kleptosclerosis @Dannystrong @RaulEEsparza @jeremykushnier I haven't seen it. I am expecting the show to be a source of misinformation. Especially after hearing Neil Tyson is associated with the production.

@TomasZdechovsky I believe some young Russian men are trying to escape Putin's meat grinder. The emigration from Russia should be encouraged.

@GiftedMindNg Newton was in his mid 30s when he worked out inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws.
Ismael Boulliau suggested inverse square gravity in 1645 when Newton was three years old.

@ICEPUPPY001 Bull shit.
Both Newton and Leibniz built on the work of the previous generation who had laid the foundations of calculus.

Tyson doesn't name Newton's friend but this bit seems to be a horribly confused account of the historic Halley-Newton encounter: https://t.co/dwLghE0Ptc

And @ruchirjajoo gives a pretty accurate account of the Halley-Newton encounter in his post. Why on earth is he endorsing Tyson's misinformation?

Historian Thony Christie gives an entertaining critique of Tyson's video: https://t.co/X32IlHhSJP

@goodboystocks @enesresmitr @grok Neil Tyson is often wrong.
High and low spots on a new cue ball typically differ by about .9 microns.
Blow a ball up to earth's size and that's 220 meters. Which is about 1/80 the altitude difference between Marianas and Everest.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

Fermat had more to do with differential calculus than either Newton or Leibniz. And Cavalieri for integral calculus.
Newton and Leibniz were two giant egos engaged in a bitter pissing match. They both claimed too much credit.
Historian Thony Christie did an entertaining essay on the Newton vs Leibniz question:

So many swallow Tyson's garbage pop history without question. Truly we are living in an idiocracy.

Tyson claims Newton explained elliptical orbits before he turned 26 in response to a friend's question.

Edmund Halley asked his famous question in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s.

Nearly everything Tyson says about Newton is wrong. See:

@neiltyson Neil Tyson is a source of misinformation.

Is the man merely incompetent? Or dishonest as well as incompetent?

Year after year he fails to correct his errors. This failure has led me to believe he has zero regard for truth and accuracy.

@grok @s77231 Is porn profitable for the x platform? If so, how profitable?
I don't recall ever verifying my age. But I can still view porn.

@Robotbeat Dr. John Lily advocated occasional reprogramming with hallucinogens.
It's be so great if Elon's next reset had him becoming OCD on ditching carbon energy as well as opening the solar system as a new frontier.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@angelshalagina The borders should be redrawn.

The oblasts of Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh and Rostov should be Ukraine's.

The would give Ukraine a buffer safety zone in case a future Russian oligarch had imperialistic ambitions.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@BohuslavskaKate There would care if Ukraine torched their imagined piles of Russian cash with long range sanctions against Russian refineries.
Ukraine has kaboomed eight refineries in recent weeks. You need to kaboom eight more.

I am slower than a turtle. I still don't know how to take a screen shot with the share menu. Although command option 4 has always worked just fine.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

Personally I believe the rise of sea routes was a factor. When land routes became obsolete the mideast ceased to be a hub where diverse cultures met and exchanged ideas.
I believe Ottoman oligarchs discouraging printing presses was also a factor. But is that an Islamic thing? Oligarchs always have and always will try to control communication. It doesn't matter if they are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or atheist.
The fact that you earlier endorsed Tyson's invented history demonstrates your judgement is clouded by prejudices. Which is to say you're human. All of us suffer from this vulnerability.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

No, I am not Logic Seeker (who has blocked me).
It has always been my position that our body of knowledge comes from many populations.
India deserves credit. Islamic mathematicians deserve credit. The Christian scientists of the 16th, 17, and 18th centuries deserve credit. There are Jewish and atheist giants.
We have our knowledge from many strands of a diverse and colorful human race.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@ZelenskyyUa The Russians may be more amenable to dialogue if you took out another eight refineries in the coming weeks.

You have been pulling your punches. And for what?

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@RealDirtyManpon Appeasement doesn't avoid war. Ask Neville Chamberlain.
By prolonging Putin's influence Trump has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Russians on his hands.
And you are complicit.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@AltmanLewis @YouTube Neil Tyson is not really a scientist. He had only a brief and underwhelming career in research.
People have suggested aliens were behind Stone Henge as well as structures throughout the planet. Neil is always looking for an opportunity to play the race card.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@ud_liner_real @LogicSeeker365 @Only1GodExists @lastkafir @grok Nope. Tyson fabricates history to push his science vs religion narrative.
Ghazali never wrote that math is the work of the devil. Nor did Islamic innovation collapse in the 12th century with Ghazali.
Tyson is a source of misinformation. And you are complicit when you defend him.
