Amid the turbulence of a pandemic & racedemic, I offer this reflection on what Earth looks like from space, as only an Apollo astronaut can tell it. https://t.co/CMfjTry6RI — PolitiTweet.org

Twice a year, the setting Sun renders New York City's urban canyons aglow in fiery light. Crowds gather. Traffic stalls. Behold #Manhattanhenge. Tonight: May 30, 2020, Beginning 8pm At a cross-street near you. [@StarTalkRado Video from 2019: 6min] https://t.co/fzbaAB9eIu — PolitiTweet.org

@pinballmaniac1 Nice. It’s on posters too, that I’ve seen. p.s. FYI: El Dorado, my favorite pinball machine. Requiring more skill than most. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelDonis5 @RickandMorty @MatPatGT No. But good question. Pure energy, in high enough concentration, spontaneously makes matter-antimatter particle pairs. — PolitiTweet.org

Yup. The one-and-only @LindseyVonn asked me about astrology. I gave her a succinct answer. #AthletesAskNeil @StarTalkSports x @Uninterrupted [Video: 40 sec] https://t.co/lKX6M5d4DX — PolitiTweet.org

Good Luck to @elonmusk and the @SpaceX crew. Though it’s rocket science, rocket launches can still use a little bit of luck. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah, I went there. The science of @RickandMorty. Prompted by @matpatgt of The Film Theorists, I offer my take on the cartoon's use of dark matter & anti-matter [Video: 17 min] https://t.co/2A10VsYMQN — PolitiTweet.org

@jjon47470311 @elonmusk @mccadesmith @BillNye Not especially hard. The number on the right is first the difference, then sum, of the numbers on the left. But in any case, I often wish Mensa people would spend more time solving world problems than puzzle problems. — PolitiTweet.org

I dream of a world where truth shapes people's politics, rather politics shaping what people think is true. — PolitiTweet.org

@nevetsenolam No vectors in E=mc2. Energy has no direction. Neither does the square of a velocity. But momentum does. So P = mv is a vector. With P and v in the same direction, as written. — PolitiTweet.org

@levarburton The recurring phrase, now excised from most modern cuts of old films was “Free White and 21”. A boast that the person was “Beholden to no one”. An offensive script line that was nonetheless true and accurate. Here’s a compilation: https://t.co/611PiPOxwr — PolitiTweet.org

Add up all we know about matter & energy and it accounts for less than 5% of what drives the Universe. What we call Dark Matter & Dark Energy comprise the rest, yet we know nothing of them, other than they exist, leaving the astrophysicist delightfully befuddled, for now. — PolitiTweet.org

@spaceguy_24 @davinasgirlfrnd @MichaelPhelps @Stanford When the rules went into effect in 2006, Pluto was demoted to Dwarf planet, but Ceres was **promoted** from Asteroid to Dwarf Planet, but still resides in the Asteroid Belt. — PolitiTweet.org

@davinasgirlfrnd @MichaelPhelps @Stanford No, silly. Only if we had walked into a bar. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

What's the biggest difference between @MichaelPhelps in a swimming pool and the rest of is? Is it mind or muscle? I asked @Stanford geneticist Dr. Stuart Kim. [Video: 1 min] https://t.co/iR5qU7XHVs — PolitiTweet.org

@youneedabath I don’t think so — they’re just a little longer because they can be -- but you can easily judge for yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Reviewing my old Tweets reminds me of when the internet was a place to have fun with images & information, rather than a platform of tribalized attacks on messages & messengers. e.g. The comments on this Tweet from 2013 are delightful… https://t.co/im0OEsXCDh — PolitiTweet.org

A virus walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartenders respond, “Sorry, we don’t serve viruses”. So the virus jumps across the counter, invades their DNA, and turns them into bartenders who do. (Geeky Virus joke, told to me years ago by @sciencecomedian) — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidRo66914453 Welcome to twitter. At its worst, a cesspool of warring opinions. At its best, the highest expressions of care and concern for humanity. — PolitiTweet.org
