SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away” RESPONSE: “Oooh!” SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth” RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false” — PolitiTweet.org

@JoshBlain4 FYI: The videographers decided to call it a “film” in spite of its short length. And since you asked, it’s actually a mashup of unused footage from this PSA: https://t.co/sIqbsEMW45 — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe our educational system isn't that bad. Perhaps flat-Earthers are actually rational space enthusiasts who are duping us to make them the first tourists launched into orbit, granting them a free, space-borne view of the rotating ball that is Earth. https://t.co/G5s1sZ6CYJ — PolitiTweet.org

@suzannej3 : - ) Yup. But should have done it on the spot and not waited 15 hours. — PolitiTweet.org

The rise of flat-Earthers in the United States is evidence of two things: 1) the protection of speech, and 2) the failure of our educational system. — PolitiTweet.org

Earth, in this image, would be hard to explain to the forces of the universe. https://t.co/YSADdBEILy — PolitiTweet.org

@T32504 Orbiting objects orbit each other. For example, the Moon does not orbit Earth’s center, Earth & Moon orbit a common center-of-mass — a spot about 1,000 miles beneath Earth’s surface along a line that connects our centers. So Earth's jiggle is basically an orbit “around” the Moon. — PolitiTweet.org

@napendergraph All depends on how fast you rotate. All slow-rotating galaxies, especially in galaxy clusters, are round. And the huge Oort Cloud [Google it] of comets, surrounding the Sun and planets, is spherical. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

“On Being Round” — Chap. 8 of **Astrophysics for People in A Hurry** discusses how the laws of physics conspire across the cosmos to prefer spheres. If you think Earth is flat you’ve never read this chapter or you have yet to establish a relationship with objective reality. https://t.co/PQGnS5WMBZ — PolitiTweet.org

If you enjoyed “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry,” and know any pre-teens, they may enjoy “Astrophysics for Young People In a Hurry,” based on the original, but deftly adapted for Kids by children’s book author Gregory Mone. https://t.co/CPFf05MD3q https://t.co/GPzSKpdJig — PolitiTweet.org

@jeremyw68682758 Good question. Most rules you’ve learned apply to flat space “Euclidean” geometry. In curved space, such as what is described in General Relativity, Pi times a circle’s diameter does not have to equal the circumference. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

So that we're all on the same Pi-page… If you measure the Circumference of a circle and divide it by the Diameter of the same circle, you get the value of Pi. And that value of Pi is the same for ANY size circle you draw. — PolitiTweet.org
