Hah, when I read the OP I had no idea who he was talking about. Ran a Google search and said "ooooh yeah, that guy".

He IS a dick. LoL, roll on OP.

I stopped watching the Cosmos series when I noticed he'd bash Christianity at every chance yet he praised Islam as a scientifically open minded religion. Someone should have reminded the ass what happened to the library of Alexandria.

NDT is like a science bully. Constantly criticizing and taking the fun out of everything just to flex his muscles and remind everyone how smart he is. He'd rather explain the inaccuracies of a joke than just laugh at it. Movies are his favorite thing to slam, such as his criticisms on "Gravity" and the star patterns on "Titanic." He went on John Stewart and among the first things he said was "you know, your globe is spinning the wrong way." Wow, good to know Neil! You condescending son of a bitch. It's almost as if we watch movies and television to be entertained and not to be educated on the intricate workings of the fucking universe. Your pedantry isn't impressing anyone, in fact it annoys people when you take the fun out of their entertainment just for the sake of asserting your mental superiority over them.

Not only is this annoying, but it's also misinforming people. He's garbage outside of his extremely niche field, and now-you-know Neil won't admit it. A while ago he tweeted about how if sex wasn't pleasant then mammals wouldn't copulate and would therefore go extinct. Immediately put to shame by Biologists who kindly reminded him that many animals have painful sex, or have sex solely for the purpose of procreation. My favorite manifestation of this was when he criticized the BB-8 droid from the new Star Wars movie: "BB-8, a smooth rolling metal spherical ball, would have skidded uncontrollably on sand." Except that it was a real robot, on real sand, which really rolled along without skidding uncontrollably. What do you think about that Neil? Nevermind that we are talking about a science FICTION film in the first place, where -holy shit- some of the elements are exaggerated or wholly fictitious for the sake of entertainment. Go back to your dark little lab where your tedious corrections are appreciated and just let us have our fun please.
