Overlooking his insignificant contribution to astronomy he is in fact a terrible communicator of science if his twitter feed is anything to go by which seems filled with crowdpleasing newage-guru tier fake profundities not, say, intuitive heuristics to understand the models that predict celestial bodies or menomnics and fun rhymes to remember the elemental and chemical compositions of stellar bodies.

I can't name one theory, discovery, or input he has made to Scientific knowledge. Why is he famous again?
He is obviously not the only black man in science, there's enough forced propaganda stories and memes like 'this is what a scientist looks like' for him being the only token black man in science to explain why he's famous.
He's a mystery to me. And enigma.
I know Stephan Hawking is famous for reasons behind his wheelchair, while he's most famous for his populist book on cosmology he did actually introduce new ideas like Hawking Radiation. But this dude... what did he contribute?

I think any scientist who has a large media presence is probably not a very good scientist. I'm a very junior researcher, and even i barely have any time. My seniors seem to have even less. The truely inspirational researchers in my life rarely or never do media apearances as they have too much to do. It's also a question of priority and ego.
I think he is probably a mediocre or irrelevant scientist who found he can stroke his ego by doing media and dedicated all his life to that. His ego.

He is astronomy's token nigger, there are no blacks in professional astronomy, blacks are too smart to involve themselves in such idiocy, the astronomers got worried that they would be accused of racism due to the lack of blacks in astronomy, so they invented a black spokesperson to make astronomy seem less "racist". the token black they found was also too smart to devote himself to researching meaningless, stupid, and unimportant bullshit and then pretending its important like the rest of the astrofaggots do. he wasn't dumb enough to make "getting published in apj" his lifetime goal like the rest of the astronomers do.
nothing of any merit or use has ever been published in the astrophysical journal, a desire to join that class of authors is an irrational, low IQ motivation.

Entertaining is first word that comes to mind and while its probably good for someone who often speaks to the public, I wish he would spend more time doing actual science instead, I'm sure someone here and there might get interested in science because of him, but not that many and not for long, you know what would be better?

The best scientists are social autists and can barely explain themselves, let alone be charismatic.

>"Reality is not real"

The universe could be a simulation and it would still be considered real. The philosophy is: "Does it matter?". No, it does not matter. It is real to us. We've been given physics to work with. Philosophy that doesn't work with science is kind of doomed to failure.

God to a physicist is just a sufficiently powerful/advanced alien, likely sourced to higher dimensions. Probably.

Nigger any engineering company is going to have hundreds of hired engineers and it doesnt matter if the owner is or not a scientist or engineer himself.

Edison used his fortunes to give nerds who would've been otherwise ignored the opportunity to do research and work on their inventions. From that crime, and for the crime of being a non-jewish white man, the jewish media has damned Edison as some sort of robber-baron character akin to the jewish Astor, Annenberg and Diamond families.
By doing so, they use white, christian Edison as a scapegoat for jewish sins.

Philosophy asks questions about existence. Science is learning about the surrounding world, big or small. If a philosopher knew what the Sun is, would they still philosophize about it? No. Philosophy is for what we don't know, and science (and the modern era) is already trusted/honest, to a fault.

Seeing John Boyega for the first time in The Force Awakens was the shock of my life.

I was so hyped for the sequel trilogy that I cagily avoided all marketing materials, all trailers, and all commercials. If I walked by a toy aisle at the store and caught a small glimpse of a vehicle or stormtrooper, I'd look away immediately. I wanted to go into the new era of Star Wars with an entirely open mind, as pure as an Amish virgin. On opening night I knew there was a brown-haired female protagonist (that much was hard to avoid, even though I shielded my eyes), but little else. I didn't even know which classic characters were returning.

When Boyega first took off that helmet and revealed himself to the theater, I let out an audible gasp. My entire row of filmgoers looked at me like I was nuts, but I couldn't help myself. There before me was the most Simian creature I'd ever seen in a galaxy far, far away. An intergalactic gorilla with huge flaring nigger nostrils and big Nigerian chieftain lips.

Oftentimes film studios will soften the blow by casting Billy Dee Williams or Will Smith... but not this time. This time you were forced to feast your eyes on a pure-blooded coal black silverback nigger, blown up forty feet high on an IMAX screen.

I looked around, uncomprehendingly, as the rest of the crowd seemed to accept this monstrosity as a regular matter of course. Then it occurred to me that I was the only person who hadn't already seen months' worth of marketing materials.

Little by little, they had been led to accept this by drips and drabs of commercials, trailers, and TV interviews. Their minds had been so softened that they were willing to stare unflinchingly, even giggle and smile at the niggershines, as MegaNigger (missing only a bone in his nose) besmirched the galaxy.

Lots of people debate about the exact moment when Star Wars died. I contend it was when that minstrel-looking sweaty jigaboo removed his helmet and revealed his Lovecraftian face.

This chart compares pop scientists to *real* scientists, meaning those that are advancing science versus those that are just trying to get click views. If you did the same with pop philosophers, you'd get a bunch of morons trying to prove God exists with idiotic arguments like the Kalam or Ontological or Teleological, or even worse, morons that push "intelligent design" or God forbid the earth is flat or aliens exist or there is no global warming.

Dawkins Krauss, Nye and Tyson are mid-tier scientists trying to make a buck raging against low-tier "philosophers" trying to make a buck.

Real scientists respect real philosophers because *real* philosophy starts where science currently ends, and uses where science is as the foundation. What is really happening at the quantum level? What are the implications of a multiverse.

Case in point, over 90% of scientists think God doesn't exist. For philosophers, that number is 70%. Take a real course on philosophy and most of it is debunking the current "pop" philosopher imbeciles.
