>>35171378
Well he was a collegiate wrestler, steroids wouldn't really surprise me.
Also, while he is a fucking meme now, Tyson is still really smart, you don't just get a phd in astrophysics if you're some intellectual lightweight. I just hate how he whores himself out with those talking point you're mentioning.

I never used the word "smart". I specifically used the word intelligent. And yes, you need to be intelligent, very much so, to study physics successfully. If you think it's sufficient to memorize a few things to succeed at physics, then I guess you are the ignorant one. Physics actually requires you think.

This. Intelligence is like genetics in lifting. Graduating from a mid-tier college is like squatting 4 plate. Almost anyone can do it if they put enough time into it, even with below average genetics. Getting a phd from Columbia in Physics is like squatting 8 plate. You must have good genetics to do it, no matter how hard of a worker you are.

If you're saying that poorly ranked undergraduate/overall institutions sometimes have individual departments that are excellent, then you are correct.

But that doesn't mean that the quality of the department doesn't affect admissions/instruction quality/funding.

It just means it doesn't line up with the public perception of the "best" universities. Though the big tier Ivy/Chicago/Berkley schools generally have all around good grad programs.

Sure, just about every thesis (from STEM at least) is based on publications the grad student worked on during their career as a grad student, but I can't say I've heard of anyone putting their thesis through a peer reviewed publication. I can't even think of a journal that accepts publications that long.

The man is a legend. His academic achievements were very significant for a black person at the time. He was a black person that the news turned to as an authority figure which was incredibly uncommon at the time, as they'd usually just interview some black guy to get the scoop on "the black reaction to event X/Y/Z." And while he wanted to pursue astrophysics, he was getting heavily guilted by his peers to not pursue that education and instead just fight for equality. The dude is incredibly intelligent, been an invaluable member to the black community, became the director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, influences multiple generations to value/pursue science.

I only ask this because I mean, look at him, he looks like he's just kind of fat. His arms are tiny, he has a little gut, there's no real evidence of strength looking at him. I'd be very surprised if he squats that properly, based on how he looks.
