One of these nerds is not like the others,
One of these geeks just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which nerd is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
While Einstein and Hawking (no s) were giants of their field, published papers that turned all other accepted science on its head, and have basic physical phenomenon of the Universe named after them, they were surprisingly limited in their knowledge of other fields. Whereas NdT will expound on absolutely any topic with the complete certainty that he is a fucking expert, even if he only just now inferred the existence of the thing from the question he is presently being asked. He is a Mycroftian megabrain of galactic proportions, a fact he appreciates better than anyone else.
Stephen Hawking did post to Twitter. He used Twitter to communicate about science, the future of humanity, and important causes like climate change. One of his first tweets was in 2014 when he used the platform to raise awareness about ALS, the disease he had lived with for decades. While not prolific on Twitter, the posts reflected his passion for science, space exploration, and human progress.
I don’t like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it’s SCIENCE.
Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.

Tyson? Why not cause he’s an asshole? Are you aware that both Einstein and Hawkings were also assholes?

At least, according to ChatGPT.
