Is Neil degraded Tyson similar to john Von neumann Anonymous Sat Sep 23 14:30:46 2017 No.9186650 [Reply] [Original]

Both are pop sci figures but none of them have any great achievements in their fields

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 14:31:11 2017 No.9186651 Lol meant degrasse not degraded

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 14:37:36 2017 No.9186671 >>9186650 >>9186651 Von Neumann is one of the most accomplished people of the 20th century. His every lecture spawned entirely new fields of research. Literally what are you talking about?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 15:48:33 2017 No.9186826 >>9186671 Neil probably has more knowledge than johnny now a days

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 15:50:14 2017 No.9186830 >>9186826 von neumann probably did more research in a few weeks at his absolute peak than tyson has done in his entire career

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 15:55:58 2017 No.9186845 I don't know much about Neil Tyson but people hype him up here, someone said he was the Einstein of this generation is this accurate?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:17:00 2017 No.9186876 >>9186845 >people hype him up here actually 99.9% of people here criticise him most thoroughly

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:34:30 2017 No.9186894 >>9186830 but theres more knowledge floating around nowa days also the internet so its safe to assume neil knows more than newman

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 16:37:38 2017 No.9186904 >>9186894 by that logic you must be smarter than isaac newton because it's been 400 years

>>9186650
von Neumann contributed to and invented many branches of math/computer science/technology. More than that, Neumann was incredibly gifted at calculating and is by many regarded as the smartest person in modern history.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson sometimes show up on telly specials about black holes, spouting some shit that has been known since the 50s and acting like a smug cunt about it.

Weak bait but I still fell for it

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:02:31 2017 No.9186967 >>9186904 yes, I know about relativity for example he argued against it

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:06:50 2017 No.9186975 >>9186967 >newton >argued against relativity >400 years before relativity was theorized wew lad, those are some top notch stupid pills you got there

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:08:05 2017 No.9186979 >>9186975 he said E = 1/2mv2 + mgh which is in different to einsteins E = mc

>>9186979
One of those is an equation for total kinetic and potential energy, the other is Einsteins mass energy equivalence formula. They arent even describing the same thing. Please be trolling, it hurts to know there are people this stupid who are allowed to breed.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:32:28 2017 No.9187060 >>9187054 >>9186979 Also you missed the ^2, as in E=mc^2

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:36:14 2017 No.9187070 >>9186975 We'll isn't relativity not that old a concept some people have argued that the ancient Egyptians had a understanding of general relativity before Einstein

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 17:46:02 2017 No.9187090 >>9186975 (classical) relativity was theorized by Galilei. Also Eistein generalized Galilei's principle of relativity, called Einstein's principle of relativity.

>someone said he was the Einstein of this generation is this accurate?
Comparing his intellect to that of Einstein is to compare Einstein's intellect to that of a flea.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 19:21:48 2017 No.9187298 >>9187090 How could Galileo of understood relativity before non Euclidean geometry was invented?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 19:35:06 2017 No.9187321 >>9187298 This?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 19:48:57 2017 No.9187348 >>9187321 Not the person you're replying to, but galileo didnt understand relativity in the modern sense, but he studied the motion of different inertial systems (moving relative to each other)

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 24 00:26:07 2017 No.9187682 >>9187054 perhaps if newtton didnt put the 1/2 factor in his energy he would have noticed that the light needs to be veryfast i.e. c

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 24 01:01:54 2017 No.9187737 >>9186650 Neil isn't an amazing astrophysicist, however he is a charismatic and interesting astrophysicist and because of this more people may gain interest in this field.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 24 14:07:14 2017 No.9188594 It's to crazy to think that Neil, because of modern information that he has a deeper understanding of physics than Einstein

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 25 08:03:27 2017 No.9190053 >>9186830 That's irrelevant. If you care about potential, then Amerindians are superior to europeans due to their superior development rate compared to europe populations.
