Neil Degrasse Tyson Body Bags Terrence Howard On His Science Takes From Rogan

Complex - Neil deGrasse Tyson, as perhaps should have been expected, has offered a thoughtful and quite detailed response to being named in Terrence Howard’s recent Joe Rogan interview.As you may or may not recall, the Hustle & Flow and Empire actor had likened Tyson's notes on his math and physics-focused paper to an "attack," something with which Tyson vehemently disagrees. Instead, the StarTalk host says he simply gave Howard the exact treatment he and his colleagues would expect in such a situation.According to Tyson, Howard did indeed send him a 36-page treatise about eight years, shortly after the two met at a TV networks event. The treatise in question, he added, sees Howard "attempting to reinvent mathematics and physics." Tyson recalled reading through all 36 pages, leaving his notes and thoughts along the way. Put another way, as Tyson explained, he wanted to treat Howard with the same respect he would give to someone in his field.

Yeah so Apparently Terrance Howard isn't the crazy science genius that had Will Compton thinking about life in a totally different way. 

I mean just listen to the first 45 seconds and you will be looking like Will up there. 

Here's 15 minutes of him talking about all the science stuff that Tyson then totally exposed as ridiculous and not anywhere based in fact. 

I was honestly surprised by just how fast Tyson disproved his theories. That .64's square root is .8 and 1.28 is greater than .8 negating the 1st thing he claimed that 1x1=2 which is ridiculous in its own right but I thought there might be more to it. 

Him ending the whole video with "Your science makes absolutely zero sense but your pictures and art is nice" is just hilarious.

Look I am a huge fan of junk science, but I did not know Degrasse Tyson was this funny. I am not telling Rogan how to do his show but he needs to have them both on at the same time to really duke it out.
