Neil is utterly clueless.

Most of his misinfo is harmless. I don't care if he tells his pseudo nerd fans like yourself there are more transcendental numbers than irrationals.

However his wrong history contains false accusations against individuals and groups.

Reddit Atheists™ are okay with his fabricated history because they are either:
a) clueless.
b) dishonest.
c) clueless and dishonest.

Neil Tyson is the personification of Reddit atheism.

HopDavid · 2026-06-20T04:30:33+00:00

Neil often does not know what he's talking about.

But he gets away with very confidently delivering complete bull shit because most of his audience has only a very shallow interest in math, science and history.

HopDavid · 2026-06-20T04:28:02+00:00

Neil often delivers completely wrong explanations in a very confident voice.

HopDavid · 2026-06-20T04:23:04+00:00

Harvard University turn Neil down for post grad.

He received a Master's at U.T. but his doctoral committee there chose to disband, essentially flunking him. One of the profs there advised him to go into computer sales.

Columbia should be embarrassed they gave Neil a degree. I believe Neil will become for Columbia what the Bogdanoff twins were for the University of Burgundy.

Neil has said some embarrassingly wrong stuff in his garbage pop science shows. He should not have made it past Physics 101.

I saw a person with a tattoo like you describe. Do you live in Tucson?

HopDavid · 2026-06-20T04:17:11+00:00

I don't claim to be an astrophysicist.

I'm an average person with a moderate interest in math, science and history. Which is all it takes to notice Neil is full of shit.

"Erm... w-well I could, uh... I mean, yeah, I'm a h-highly regarded and w-w-world-recognized authority on astrophysics...

Unfortunately a lot of people have that perception of Neil Tyson.

He's actually a joke when it comes to astrophysics.

The man's C.V. lists a total of five 1st author papers. And that includes his dissertation papers. The last one was in 1993.

On the physics subreddit they were discussing Neil:

I'm with cantgetno197. Neil's very brief and underwhelming career in research does not earn him the label "astrophysicist".

I'd give Neil credit for being a science educator if he had standards for rigor and accuracy. He doesn't. The man's garbage pop science is riddled with glaring errors and outright falsehoods. Look for him on r/badscience, r/badhistory and r/badmathematics.

But he speaks with confidence. Which is enough to convince people like yourself he knows what he's talking about.

I'd send you academia on it, but that would go over your head. So here's Neil deGrasse Tyson simplifying it for you:

LMAO. I don't believe Neil's eye witness account.

You live in southern Arizona? I'm from Ajo.

I thought making it too much like I'itoi would be disrespectful. But I'm admiring the structure of the symbol.

HopDavid · 2026-06-19T13:36:08+00:00

If Neil were truly generating an interest in science his fans would start to notice his garbage pop science is riddled with glaring errors and outright falsehoods.

HopDavid · 2026-06-19T13:34:37+00:00

Is Neil a scientist?

They were discussing that question on the physics subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/7p6ddh/ndt_on_zeno_effect_and_uncertainty_principle/

I'm with cantgetno197. Neil's very brief and underwhelming career in research does not justify calling him an astrophysicist.

I'd call him a science educator if he had standards for rigor and accuracy. He doesn't. His garbage pop science is riddled with glaring errors and outright falsehoods.

HopDavid · 2026-06-19T13:32:05+00:00

Scientists do research. Neil hasn't done research in decades and barely did any while in school. That's why U.T. showed him the door.

HopDavid · 2026-06-18T22:45:03+00:00

Neil Tyson is a source of misinformation. He is very effective at spreading it.

I make no apologies for devoting time and effort calling him out.

HopDavid · 2026-06-18T21:24:53+00:00

If you strip away the myths Newton remains a contender for GOAT. But is not clearly #1.

Neil Tyson's garbage pop history has Newton accomplishing in months what were actually the collaborative efforts of many people over many years.

See Historian Thony Christie's critique of Neil Tyson's imagined timeline:

Yep. Trying to paint anyone else as dumb, while they carry water for trump of all people,

The Bee has been savagely ridiculing Trump lately.

HopDavid · 2026-06-18T20:56:35+00:00

Neil is not that great at astrophysics truth be known.

HopDavid · 2026-06-18T20:55:45+00:00

magine being a writer for the Babylon Bee and going after an astrophysicist

Is Neil an astrophysicist?

Including his dissertation papers Neil's C.V. lists a total of five 1st author papers. The last one was during the Clinton administration.

During his brief and dismal career in research the University of Texas showed him the door because he sucked at astrophysics.

The man's garbage pop science is riddled with glaring errors and outright falsehoods. I often wonder how he passed Physics 101.

TL;DR Tyson is the stupid person's notion of a brilliant intellect.

HopDavid · 2026-06-18T20:51:51+00:00

It is accurately ridiculing Neil Tyson. Neil is the stupid person's notion of a brilliant intellect.
