Chapter: COSMIC PERSPECTIVES "Cosmic perspectives have a way of disconnecting our ego from all that happens in the sky. They also foster accountability for all we do, so that we neither credit nor blame the sky for our earthly affairs." https://t.co/SwHReTNRAN — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: COSMIC PERSPECTIVES "We might exist in a simulation programmed by intelligent juvenile aliens living in their parents’ basement. Or Earth may be a literal terrarium/aquarium constructed for the amusement of alien anthropologists" https://t.co/SwHReTNRAN — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: COSMIC PERSPECTIVES "We take better care of our cats and dogs than we do of homeless humans in the street. If we serve as pets to Alien overlords, might they take better care of us than we ever will of ourselves?" https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter Quotes: EARTH & MOON "The Sun is four-hundred times wider than the Moon and it happens to be four-hundred times farther away. This pure coincidence renders the Sun and Moon about the same size on the sky, allowing for spectacular solar eclipses" https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter Quote: EARTH & MOON "With only one or two human-made structures visible from Earth orbit, everything else that divides us — national borders, politics, languages, skin color, who you worship, who you sleep with — is invisible to you." https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: EARTH & MOON "What we’ve been calling 'space travel' after the moon landings have been astronauts orbiting less than one-centimeter above a schoolroom globe, boldly going where hundreds have gone before." https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: CONFLICT & RESOLUTION "Across the six-year span of World War II, more than 1,000 people were killed per hour. A morbid and inevitable consequence of forcing your personal truths upon others in a world that is fundamentally pluralistic." https://t.co/SwHReTNRAN — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Chapter: CONFLICT & RESOLUTION "Part the curtains of conflict and find the puppeteers of politics & religion. Two topics with a lot in common for how deeply personal they can be. When disagreements are severe, can lead to bloodshed and all-out war." https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: CONFLICT & RESOLUTION "What happens when democracy fails? What happens when we hold no tolerance for views that differ from our own? Do we instead desire a dictatorship in which all views of the land agree with those of the dictator?" https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Chapter: CONFLICT & RESOLUTION "One of the great features of a **working** democracy is that we get to disagree without killing one another." https://t.co/SwHReU60OV — PolitiTweet.org

PREFACE "Cultural and political factions battle for the souls of communities and of nations. We’ve lost all sight of what distinguishes facts from opinions. We’re quick with acts of aggression and slow with acts of kindness." https://t.co/SwHReTNRAN — PolitiTweet.org

PREFACE "Starry Messenger recasts some of the artificial battlefields on the landscape of life — war, politics, religion, truth, gender, race — in ways that foster accountability and wisdom in the service of civilization." https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

PREFACE “Cosmic perspectives are ego checks on our self-importance — messages from the stars forcing us to rethink our relationships to one another, to Earth, and to the cosmos. We may otherwise believe the world revolves around us & our opinions.” https://t.co/SwHReU5sZn — PolitiTweet.org

@skyglowberlin Sorry for the delay. Thanks for your queries. (1) James Joyce rhymed quark with mark, which is the literary origin of the particle's name. (2) The Kelvin sentence is clearly a mistake. Thanks for catching it. Will fix in the next printing. FYI: The book's target age is 8-12. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

@skyglowberlin Thanks for sharing your concerns. James Joyce rhymed quark with mark, and that's the actual word origin of the particle name. As for the Kelvin claim, that's clearly misstated. Thanks for catching it. Will correct in the next printing. FYI: The book's target age is 8-12. — PolitiTweet.org

@MJGold -- I timed the race video with a digital stopwatch, of course taking multiple measurements. The data easily averaged the reported world record. So either the race clock & race video are both wrong or there was a tail wind nobody noticed -- or they simply kicked ass. — PolitiTweet.org

@gov_fails @paulisci The chart shows an average of 1% drop in workforce per five year interval — over a time where the US population grew 25%. Try not to draw deep conclusions from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Catching up on episodes of @rickandmorty. Rick’s circular, flat, (green) spacetime portal greatly resembles the circular, flat (sparkly) portal of @Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange opens his portal with Magic. But Rick opens his portal with Science. Just sayin’. https://t.co/yhw9x1jAzP — PolitiTweet.org

@DrGBuckingham @JohnAllenPaulos Took me a while to see the circles. About ten minutes. The door example helped. But the image for me is not changed forever. I still see rectangles until I choose to notice the circles. If that means anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight’s Full Moon, the largest of the year, is 8% larger than an average Full Moon. Will be called by some a “Super Duper Moon.” I’m okay with that, but only if you think a 16-inch pizza is super-duper-sized compared with a 15-inch pizza. https://t.co/mna7M93uFk — PolitiTweet.org

Just Released Deepest-ever view of the cosmos from @NASAWebb. The spiked objects are local stars in our own Galaxy. ignore them. Everything else is an entire galaxy. Many distort into arcs, revealing spacetime curvature from the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the image's center. https://t.co/s1XaOLegae — PolitiTweet.org
