- In our latest “How Tweet It Is” segment on StarTalk, Neil deGrasse Tyson tells Bill Nye about his most retweeted tweet ever, tweeted on Christmas Day, 2014. Now you can watch Neil read his infamous tweet wishing Isaac Newton a happy birthday, for which he was accused of “trolling Christians on Christmas Day.” Neil and Bill talk about why there’s disagreement as to Newton’s birthday, along with the difficulties caused by England retaining the Julian calendar even after Pope Gregory XIII shaved a few days off the calendar in 1582.

The last time there was this much science in one room, they were rap battling #ERB
M.W. Vaughn You are right, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and Isaac Newton, all in a single video, in both videos.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Shame they did not get Neil in person. I bet he can rap just fine, ha.
Which, coincidentally, mentions that he was born on Christmas.
M.W. Vaughn Yah, Bill and Neil, get on Epic Rap Battle. That would be awesome.
That comment was so special it's actually eating paste.
I LOVED that tweet. I thought it was perfectly worded and made you stop and think "Oh yeah, real world stuff". I was surprised at the negative response. Tho, I guess I shouldn't have been.
When and where is this normally broadcast?
I mentioned on FB the same Isaac Newton comment on Christmas, coincidentally after watching Cosmos episode where Neil mentions it, and not from seeing his tweet haha
Loving this segment.
Clever, smart, and rich! You're the man, NDT!
Andréas Remis PLANT BASED VEGAN Synonyms! And rich.
I really like the face Bill is making in the freeze frame at the start of the video. XD
Man I remember this.... Dear god the retweets
I happened to be on Twitter when you first tweeted that exact tweet (I never really got into the whole Christmas thing). I believe I was one of the first thousand or so to retweet it; however, I did so for all the right reasons. You rock, Neal!
These need to run longer.
A perfectly valid and logical tweet constructed in such a way to poke at a segment of the population. Even if it was a troll (and I bet it was), it's easy enough to deny it.
Well done. 10/10
Hi everyone. I am I Christian and I also love science. I do believe their are some Christians in this world who aren't educated in such fields as science so they back up their religion in which I think is childish. Although myself, am not an expert in either subjects believe there is a truth in Christianity. Here is my answer to all the questions that religion "can't answer" well, what is the definition of a supreme ruler or God? Someone who is all knowing and I'm sure has an infinite amount of understanding unlike or selves or the human race. We don't even fully under stand or planet. So what makes us think we can understand a mind of a God? I ask that we all have an open mind :) thank you and have a blessed life. (No insults to non believers)
''Magic'' powerful word that annihilates reason.
This the startalk done at ghislaine maxwell's house???
How tweet it is to troll Christians...
Nick Grossman lol...
wheres the while version of all these...can someone send me a link I'm to stupid too find it
I didnt know he was born then. you two are awesome
Science is the new Christmas!

Yes, because stating facts is trolling Christmas. That is ridiculous that people were upset with NdGT. Even if you are Christian, how does Newton's birth negate the birth of your own Christ? He didn't say anything negative or offensive. Get over it. Other people exist in the world, too and it in no way affects your religious beliefs. Just do what you do, and we will do what we do. This makes my mind explode. Neil, it was super cool you shared this fact, as I'm sure many people don't realize that is the case. It's cool to know about our history. This is especially true about people who made such an impact on our knowledge/understanding of the universe around us and the way we/stuff interacts with it.
Did all energy start out as kinetic (motion). Big Bang
Except JC was not 30y but about 33y old...According to some records JC was born about 3y before year 0!
Remember those sunglasses in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that turn opaque when there's something scary in front of them? Christians need some of those.
"Facts! Facts! Facts! Ahhh, that's better."
I remember telling my mom about this....she got so pissed e.e
Wait how is Newton's birthdate supposed to offend me...?
I want to see their reaction to ERB video :D
War on Christmas holiday cups...some may feel blasphemy of any one born on December 31. Talk about the " Life of Brian"...
If you don't follow Tyson on Twitter, how would you get his tweets? You talk about going out of your way to be offended.
Jay Quintana People retweet stuff.
AHAHA Neil you're so fun, a real troll I knew you had it inside you I knew.. no noubt about it now =).
I kinda was hoping ndgt was just gonna say "yeah I got em pretty good huh?"
C mon! It was trolling and it was hilarious
"Because he's magic."
I was with Nye until he tried to shill out the Carbon Tax. You know he's not saying that shit for free. Anyone with half a brain can deduce farther than Nye cared to what the Carbon Tax is all about.
How did you troll?
Benny!?
What I want to know is who solved the Rubik's Cube?
Imagine doing anything math when you don't use the same units as the rest of the world....
Why pretend? You troll, you own it! C'mon, it's not that big of a deal.
Neil your the best, now feed me info.
He never got to work on that much sought-after blue shift :P
Neil is trolling ... a bit, and with a sense of humor.
Isaac Newton is our jesus
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica
Is our bible.
Christians need not be offended, if they are comfortable in their faith, then nothing else should matter, if you get defensive and upset then chances are you need to evaluate your own beliefs.
Matthew075 I'm not a Christian but it's ok with them and jesus as long as they don't harm other people as in earlier times. This tweet wasn't offensive but it was normal, there was no special respect in it which probably is seen as the problem.
***** Unfortunately large parts of humanity has been ruled by psycho's through all of history. They reach the position using their well known skills. This applies not only to states but also to church. In religion there have been periods of severe brutality. Some religious scriptures are also clearly psychopathic where the writers show clear signs of insanity. Following those writing is not holy.
***** This thread is to old, I don't know if you refer to the comment by Matthew075 or Neil deGrasse? Ruling religions have claimed privileges in human history, often with the death penalty for not obeying them or for not being believer. Surely this is well known.
***** Never could explain why athiests spend so much effort trying to disprove God, writing books, debating... I mean if it's simply nonsense then why spend any time on it at all. It's not like people are debating the existence of elves and fairies ...
Religious people need to just believe what they want and stop being so defensive.
It's all so silly.
***** Atheism is not a religion. It's an opinion. No evidence is put forward, hence some people don't submit to doctrine without evidence. Since no religion throughout history has put forth any evidence for their doctrines, that leaves you without any god, atheism. In order to act in life: you want your doctor to do surgery or pray? you have to trust in your opinion that there seems to be no intervening god.
If you trust in science and treatment for epidemic diseases, you are not religious. Everything you do not isn't a religion. Agnostics don't know so in that case there could be some surgery done or some exorcism instead? if the priest convinces you that it's a demon causing the illness.
I need input, I have this idea I but lack the expertise to see if it actually works. The idea is simple that I came up with from hypothesis that net total energy of the universe is 0. The biggest question that comes from this hypothesis what gave the universe initial push to go bang. Since we are talking about 0 how come anything be created from nothing based on laws of mathematics. From primary schools we are taught that you can not divide by zero, we do it not because it would break some fundamental laws of physics or math but because our answer will be infinitely large, and current scientific mind set if equations end up in infinities they generally are wrong, at least that's what gathered from my knowledge. However we also know that if we divide any number by the same number we will get 1, so what prohibits us to divide 0 by 0 (infinitely small number by the same infinitely small number) and one definitive answer which will gives us 1. From my thought experiment I came up with the answer if there is a zero chance to create something from nothing yet if we give infinite amount of tries logic states that something is bound to happen and in this case it is 1. Think of it this way our entire universe is the product of immovable object meeting unstoppable force. Lets apply evolution principle to the universe lets say that laws particles and particle states existed in many forms yet only the most stable survived. Eventually the most stable form emerges given the infinite amount of tries. What I'm saying that there infinite many possibilities that can come out but their is only one answer. My idea our universe is all the universes and none of the universes at the same time resulting in one universe that exists in the moment. We know that the most basic particles exist in this wave matter form where we can never pinpoint where they are until we take a measurement as such the only way to predict the outcome is to use statistical probability as such if things get bigger particles begin to behave more predictable because we take cumulative particle effects that become laws. We do not know where individual particle will be but we can predict what the host of those particles will do.
Sanzh Bait I see you put a lot of effort in this post. To get feedback you should divide it up in sections. It's such a massive bulk of text that few reads it for this reason.
Ok, tell me how do I break down the info and appeal to golden fish attention span?
Sanzh Bait Breaking into segments you can do with empty spaces. Some are interested and some are not but no-one is interested before knowing the content. There are skills on how to present material successfully.
Thanks, so what do you think? I'm nuts or I'm on to something?
Sanzh Bait To put weight behind it I have to admit that I didn't read it for the above stated reason.
Christians got rekt !! Sooo much butthurt ! Haha. I still celebrate Christmas don't see it as a problem it's a nice holiday especially for kids and you get to see family you don't get to see through the year plus the food & drink 😊

Two pseudo scientists babble along.
cut back on the old BS and do some new content or don't POST at all, WTH?
