The Importance of Science - Neil deGrasse Tyson to Cheraw High School

Neil deGrasse Tyson did a video for me explaining to the students of Cheraw High School the importance of being science literate.

this is awesome. i hope you were only laughing cause you were nervous, because these are wise words spoken

[MattAttackProduction]

@ligyro That's not me you hear laughing. There was a group of people gathered behind the camera. We were laughing because Neil is awesome and hilarious.

[atotalmoron]

that was really cool of him to do that for you. We need more role models like him.

@TacticusPrime Correction: The fires started by the jet fuel WEAKENED the steel, in addition to the steel directly damaged by being hit by a jumbo jet at hundreds of miles an hour. The "melted steel" canard is a Truther meme.

@XTheHumanistX hahaha amen to that !!!

[psikeyhackr]

@TacticusPrime Oh sure, REAL SCIENCE, can't specify the tons of steel and tons of concrete that were on each and every level of the towers in TEN YEARS.

Conspiracies are irrelevant. It is just a propaganda word to scare people away from the grade school physics of skyscrapers.

[TacticusPrime]

@psikeyhackr Seriously? 9/11 is perhaps the event most preciously understood in history. If you were interested in real science, and real evidence, then you wouldn't buy into the conspiracy bullshit. MIT physicists demonstrated how superheated jet fuel would melt the steel supports, etc. I'm not going to waste time debunking every bullshit nitpick.

It boils to this. Do you really believe that our government is capable enough to pull off such a scam? 10 years & no one has come forward.

[psikeyhackr]

@TacticusPrime The Laws of Physics are incapable of caring about the left, the right. the government or conspiracies.

Morons can only come up with insults instead of explaining the physics. Skyscrapers have to hold themselves up against gravity. All of the scientists in the United States should be able to figure that out and should have exposed this nonsense in 2002.

So 9/11 will besmirch their image for decades.

[XTheHumanistX]

Neil sure can wear the hell out of that hat

[TacticusPrime]

@psikeyhackr .... wow. This just reminds me that there also the scientifically illiterate assholes on the left, in addition to those on the right.

Conspiracy theorists are disgusting. Just the flip side of religion. You have to believe that SOMETHING is controlling the world.

@psikeyhackr As long as the government keep feeding us lies! Which unfortunately might continue for a long time. I am waiting for day that the truth will surface, hopefully soon!

{{{ Knowledge of Science is POWER }}}

Tyson saw the destruction of the towers on 9/11. He wrote about Black Holes so must know about gravity.

So what has he said about the Science of skyscrapers holding themselves up?

So all of the Science Professionals have a problem with 9/11. How long is everyone in the world supposed to believe 200 tons of airliner could totally obliterate 400,000 tons of skyscraper in less than two hours? So the scientists have to explain it. Distribution of steel?
