I think he was trying to say, “ People don’t think Nuclear bombs be like they are, but they do”

Glad to know that the impending WWIII nuclear holocaust will be ESG compliant.

Black science man is never wrong (or at least he thinks so)

You can tell he is so used to having his arse licked that if anyone pushes back or challenges his ideas he flies off the handle

aren't hydrogen bombs set off by fission? what the frick is this dude even babbling on about? even if modern weapons don't create as much fallout the dust and smoke from the impact zone will be spread by the wind for miles. radiation sickness will still be a threat.

The best defense against radiation sickness is getting your COVID-19 vaccine

I've called him Neil deHack Tyson for years and people are like "wtf?! He's smart! He's on TV! Just like Bill Nye the Science Guy!"

He's always come off as being a fake pseudo science guy.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson and michio kaku are both idiots. The public love them both, but both act smarter than they really are. Sabine Hossenfelder way smarter than those two clowns.

Michio Kaku doesn't seem arrogant though, although if you've seen something to the contrary, I'll defer to your experience. He's just never seemed abrasive, just a broad thinker. NdHT believes his own hype and excluively speaks to sycophants, in a vicious cycle.

Tyson is sort of a joke among the real players in his field. He's a figurehead, not a visionary or a uniquely brilliant conceptualist. I'm not saying he's not smart. I think the cosmo-sciences need a face, but I really don't think they chose wisely with him.

He is so frequently vocal with social medias and every opportunity he can behind a camera that they're frequently catching stupid little blips like this over the many years he's been in the spotlight.

NDT did not phrase his position well, and it did not help that Maher was playing the clown, but he was trying to say that modern nukes are MUCH cleaner than Fat Man and Little Boy. That is objectively true.


Japanese rebuilt in less than a decade after we nuked them. They will not leave a lifeless, permanently inhabitable mess.

Aristarchus I think. He was accurate to within a few miles.

That's mind blowing.
