So, in essence, Neil Tyson is a liar. Or at least does not mind to spread misinformation./s
Wait until you realize Pythagoras didn’t discover Pythagorean theorem first. Or the Fibonacci series. Or Pascal’s triangle. Many such examples. Mathematics needs decolonizing.
Say what you will about NDT (and I probably agree to some extent), but Cosmos: Possible Worlds was awesome.
IN A CAVE!
WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
If you ever listen to Neil discuss something you happen to be an expert in, you will damage your eyes from them rolling so hard.
Scientists make bad historians.
Even in the original Cosmos, Carl Sagan parroted a decent amount of historical misconceptions (like the vast majority of things he says about the Library of Alexandria, or basically everything he says about the Middle Ages).
OP, just day you hate Dr. Tyson.
Hell one of my Abstract Algebra teachers regularly dunks on Newton in YouTube shorts(Alvaro Lozano Robles)
