1970s? But what about Oppenheimer-Snyder in the 1930s? Is this guy retarded or what the fuck man, you can't say white holes weren't discovered until the 1970s you monkey.

The Opp-Syder metric for collapsing star? Oh well, at least it wasn't Brian Cox and his tomfoolery. He talks like a man with a paper ass. He also thinks he's still hot and his haircut looks eternally voguish and dandy.... I've noticed some guys with that hair style tend to keep it for life.

Anyway, not related to above but I think NDT also made a video confidently invoking the "equal transit time" goobleygook to explain aerodynamic lift (which is .... which is, well, it's like fooking wrong).
I only remember this equal transit time FALLACY clearly, as I saw it being recently deboonked once again while during my heavy internet use.

I think he done fucked up with that muh equal transit time thing (haven't seen complete full vid).... but maybe he walked it back convincingly some time later.... with help of his naturally magnificent charisma and powerful aura of authority

>I think
So he was mistaken, and qualified his statement with uncertainty. This is not a bit deal.
He has plenty of more egregious moments where he makes some erroneous claim with absolute confidence, but this is not one of them.

ok but this isn't an off the cuff conversation at the pub, this is an educational discourse from an "astrophysicist" discussing something highly relevant to that field of science, scripted and recorded in a studio and published on national geographic. you would expect a little less guesswork and you know the first thing that comes to mind is einstein's relativity and oppenheimer's work around the same time, and he's off by a margin of 40 years.
>>
>>16817026
Why do you think national geographic is some kind of respectable source?
>>
>>16817068
can you point out where the fuck i said i think that? god damn retard. the whole basis of my thread is implying and providing an example of the opposite.

>No experimental evidence whit holes exist
>White holes were discovered in 1970s
Make it make sense.

The Deboonked equal time thang Tyson pontificating upon on camera here,

The air molecules above and below the wing must meet by some cosmic decree at the other end of the wing so that the pressure is lower and by Baboolian principles we begat FLIGHT.

Altho I'd have fallen for 2bh if I wasn't bone idle enough to be online and googlin', typing. Sussing things out and that, you know.....

I think the noted star gazer cause celebre has also erred wrt the popular yarn that goes like.......the GPS needs GR to calculate the time dilation or measurement will be a million miles out etc. But is a more tenacious type of akshaully as they go.

It look like he makes a bit of a dogs dinner wrt his reasoning... could've dropped the ball here too.... but as autistic factoid corrections go it's not exactly a howler the GPS hoopla. Hell I might be sitting on a big time blunder with respect to this horseplay myself (that's why i say nothing, ever)

Yeah it looks fucking shit, right? But I couldn't find a place or thing with auto added caption features and I dont know how to get good captions on by downloading these vids from reddit (not linking it).

Trust me mate, I'd have loved to have given your eyes a nice little treat and would've knocked up some beefy captions. I woulda had a butchers at it too... and probably it would've given a slight debonair touch to the affair taken as a whole.....a boon once again. But I'm not spending all night having a nightmare with them captions
