Do normies actually believe Tyson and Sagan are equivalent to Galileo, Copernicus and Kepler? They didn't even do anything besides popularize science. At least Tyson has published some papers I think, Sagan is a fraud who never did anything besides lie about nukes and speculate on aliens.

Sagan was important because of the scientific image he put out I suppose. A lot of brilliant scientists come across as awkward dorks who can’t hold a conversation. Where’s the charisma?

Meanwhile Galileo & Copernicus were both heretics who weren't trying to popularize conventional science, there were trying to criticize it and alter it substantially because they both thought the science of their day sucked

He also believed in "nuclear winter" and the incoming ice age before he later switched to believing in the global warming meme. I once herd him say that the layer of lacquer on a typical schoolroom glob was proportionally as thick as the actual atmosphere was in relation to the Earth.

You have it backwards. Tyson went into popsci after getting his PhD. Carl Sagan had rather fruitful research career long before before he made Cosmos.
>Copernicus
Wasn't a scientist, but a mathematician. Astronomy wasn't a branch of Physics until the well into the 17th century, before then it was a highly specialized branch of mathematics that was only really concerned with making calendars and accurate time keeping.
> Galileo
None of his observations were relevant to the establishment of Heliocentrism (or the rebuke of the Platonic or Tyconic or Heraclean models) and he rejected Kepler's model because he believed the sun excreting a force to move the planets in their orbits was sorcery. Not only that he was asserting things that he couldn't know because the evidence didn't exist until after he died, the Coriolis effect wasn't discovered until after he died for instance.

Isn't it amazing that neither of the two most famous astronomers of the past century were researchers. Its almost as if astronomy is a completely useless subject thats only popular because of lame comic bookish hollywood soience fiction movies
