why did so many stars in our galaxy go supernova in the past (some within just a few years of each other, and 2 - 3 each century on average), but we have observed none in the past 400 years?

Someone born with 100 IQ
can raise it to 130 IQ by studying a lot
or lower it to 70 IQ by laziness.

But that doesn't mean that someone with 100 IQ
can raise it to Einstein's 160 IQ

However in Africa the average IQ is 65.
African Americans have an average IQ of 85.
This 20 IQ points raise may be due to education.

Special cases of smarter blacks like Obama & Neil deGrasse Tyson exist but they are still quite rare

Nail DeASS Tyson

What's /sci/'s opinion on Neil DeGrasse Tyson?

Who is the most important scientist of our time?

I say it's black science guy, he knows so much. And his science really helps space.

How about you?

is neil degrasse tyson meme science or science memes?

Philosophy is a joke bruh

Why he so popular?

Is he a genius or just a cool black dude that knows fizzics n sheeeit?

Why is black science man not thought of as a real scientist here? Contrarianism?

This guy is top on my list.

it was his job to pack carls bong and do snack runs.

Science is being done people. Real Science. Real.

the previous universe was just one huge black hole which had sucked up every last bit of matter left in that universe over trillions of years.
when it consumed the last subatomic particle (which was quickly drawn to it without the gravitational influence of any other object in the universe) something happened.
there was only one 'object' in the universe, with nothing else existing separately to that huge black hole, time ceased to exist, the giant black hole released all its hawking radiation immediately (the big bang).
no one knows how many times it has repeated, or if it the exact same every time.

When did you realize geometry is not a science?

>Circle is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point
At given distance? Can you express distance without resorting to observation?
Can you list all the points please? Or if you can't do that, can you name a thing that proves this point is part of a circle?
Oh you can't do neither? No I'm not asking you to show me anything; express it mathematically.
Oh so now you are saying that "collection of points is circle if and only if it satisfies the conditions of circle." Okay so what are the conditions?
Oh the conditions are the set that you can't express? I see, very interesting.
Well I'm sorry but I have no idea what you mean when you say circle. Let's move on.

>Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape
What do you mean by this? No, don't show me a picture of area. I want the expression.
All points that fall within this boundary? What do you mean within? No don't show me, I don't understand any visual language.
What about negative area? What about area that is equal to the diameter of it's boundary? What about area that is equal to it's volume? What about zero area?
Oh you can't do that either? Let's move on.

>A line is an infinitely-extended one-dimensional figure with no curvature
Okay I see. So what is the area and volume of a line?
You say you don't have one? Don't you mean "you don't know them?".
It's area is zero? And volume is zero?
What is this curvature you speak of? Why can't it curve?
You don't know, you say. Okay let's start with the easiest.

>A point: an entity that has a location in space or on a plane, but has no extent
So if it has no extent, how can it have a location?
You don't know.
What about does a point have length, area, or volume?
Oh you say that point has none of those. But previously you said that line is composed of infinitely many points, that area is composed of infinitely many lines.
Whatever.

is it just me, or does this guy not seem that smart?

i can't tell if he's just dumbing things down, or if he's just dumb.

Learning it from who? Who writes the books that you'll read to teach yourself?

>repeat what you read from actual scientists' books
>steal the credit
>scientist

has Neil Tyson made lots of contributions to science? Is he one of the best physicists of our generation?

Is there anyway I can properly appreciate and understand science & math beyond internet popsci as someone with an average IQ

You must have published at least one paper on quasilinear elliptic cohomology of baxterized affine Hecke algebras in wrapped Fukaya categories on projective exceptional flag manifolds.

Else you're a low IQ pleb.
