Bingo.

I mean a neurosurgeon who doesn't know anything about politics thinks he is qualified to be president for crying out loud. I really thought Tyson was going to be a better guest. Hopefully the callers get him back on track because this hasn't been as good as I hoped it would be.

YES! Flat earth callers!

The comments, on Art Bell's site, were invaded by flat Earthers. I really hope one of them gets through.

Like I said way back at the beginning, pop science. Not saying he isn't smart, because he is, but there are hundreds if not thousands of other scientists in this world who are just as smart if not smarter. And Bill Nye. Same deal.

flat earthers are the scum of the earth...

No Poll tonight?

I'm really enjoying the show. It's refreshing and positive. We need to get our focus on excelling in STEM and need to catch up with the rest of the world. This is the stuff that really matters . . . .

It's the old ruse of glossing over personal opinion with a veneer of 'science'. I have a degree in physics therefore you're supposed to accept that my opinions on religion and politics have more merit than yours. Works as long as the audience hasn't heard of epistemology.

Agree. Tyson has a leftist arrogance that is annoying... But hey - it's Tyson. And he's on Arts show. I'm ok with that.

I was getting worried about the show when that fake witch was on. Now we're back on form , taking the ride.

Notfernothin', and I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I find Tyson to be an incredible colossal bore. Open up the phones already.

Kaku inspires wonder, NDT not so much.

Sandra Kristen · October 30, 2015, 12:02:56 AM

Neil hung up because he is afraid of the flat Earthers!

That's it. Politics first... And now mixing it with religion is just too much. Science is going to write the moral laws now?

"Is" does not imply "ought". Science is observation and measurement, not moral prescription. Once someone starts doing that they are playing in the field of ethics and religion and their natural science credentials are irrelevant.

Cool! Thanks...

Here are the ones I go exploring to:

http://w3.uwyo.edu/~jimkirk/titan2.html

There is a partially excavated one too that is fascinating! The LCC is an exposed dome of 3 inch thick metal surrounding 6 feet of reinforced concrete...It is owned by the county and they are using the fill for roads...LOL...the fill used to bury the sites were very specific in composition...and very useful when reclaimed...

Two Titans were destroyed by accidents in their silos when I was in SAC. One in 1978 in Arkansas and one in Kansas in 1980. Since we only had 54 of them, it was a big dent in the Titan fleet.

They all get forced into giving opinions on politics and religion, once they give a opinion to the first interviewer it seems every other show they are on asks them the same shit.
They are stuck answering over and over.
