This guy earns millions of dollars being a celebrity, but has he actually contributed anything important to physics?

>> No.9605401

Why is that important?

>> No.9605404

>>9605399
Not really, he's a planetarium curator and that's about it.
He's a "science communicator" I guess, but I wish he'd lay off the retarded simulation meme.

>> No.9605489

He does not do research, but he contributes in a roundabout way by encouraging more people to get into science or at least care about science.

>> No.9605495

I don't think he makes that much. Maybe low to mid six figs.

>> No.9605575

To be fair he's praised as an educator, barring some idiot show hosts who can't even tie their shoe laces without getting a stroke.

I'm all for popsci getting popularized, helps it being entertaining and expansive, which in turn attracts future actual researchers and engineers. We have to curtail the "I love science" shit ofc, but I can't see how Kneel could help with that w/o killing the atmosphere of his shows and presentations.

There is nothing wrong with people like him and Bill Nye

They make science palatable for the ignorant masses

>> No.9605656

Yeah, Bill Nye telling people that gender isn't real was great for science. Most of the time these faggots just give people misinformation or promote themselves. Tyson was even caught lying about something George Bush said.

Great, so more retards who don't belong in STEM programs will lower the quality of the field because black science man said so.

As far as I can tell he's just a guy with a BA in physics, an MA in astronomy, with a few published papers (which I know nothing about) who gets paid to hosts shows and what not. He's just an entertainment personality with a physics background. Someone has to do his job. It's better him than some random actress who went to art school.

Yes, he inspired a whole generation of smart young black men to become physicists and astronomers instead of bankers or lawyers whatever else they were gonna be.
