The red color of Mars is a result of its windstorm dust not vegetation. I told you big discoveries were coming.

@nonosedanishguy Judicial astrology is still astrology

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Imagine being through two divorces, couldn’t be me

[Carl Sagan @CarlSag30183333]

I've been through two divorces, yet I still return to exploring the sky and studying Venus. Despite the heartbreak of these two periods in my life, I know that the stars are my constants in life. I will never stop learning.

Soooo turns out I died on August 21, 1995. So sad I'm missing out on Space Jam.

Not as good as my Disney cartoons

[Tycho Brahe @nonosedanishguy]

Y’all are cool or whatever, but I bet you never tamed an elk. Meet Hven, basically the inspiration for Disney’s “Sven”. Mine’s better @DisneyStudios 😤🙄 Here’s some fan art:

Marijuana usage is beneficial. You heard it here first. #StopTheWarOnDrugs

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Imagine never being married 😒🤚

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

I literally explained radioactive decay, described reaction mechanisms and rates in the interior of stars, proposed how the elements were made and suggested how DNA might provide the code for protein synthesis. What would you guys do without me

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

You know that is bullcrap

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

New book ”The Creation of the Universe“ just dropped here’s a quote.

“It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!”

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Just watched all the cowboy movies imaginable. Call me Cowboy Joe 🤠

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Wanted to study with Friedmann in the field of cosmology, but sadly he died of typhoid at the age of only 37. F in the chat

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Imagine being so pretentious that you quote yourself 😒

[Carl Sagan @CarlSag30183333]

"The nature of life on Earth and the search for life elsewhere are two sides of the same question - the search for who we are."

I quote myself.

[George Gamow @TheRealMickeyM3]

Gonna take a brake, my Alpha Beta Gamma theory was incorrect because no elements were found to have a stable isotope with an atomic mass of five or eight.

Sneak peek of my new book:
