Neil deGrasse Tyson Debunks ‘Star Wars’ Science In Twitter Rant, Gets Skewered By Nerds

 

Renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is so revered because he flawlessly explains the universe in a way that is informative and relevant to us mouth breathers. The Harvard grad has amassed almost 5 million Twitter followers who are enamored with his knowledge of the unknown.

But today those followers have revolted against his teachings, after he courageously pissed off Star Wars fans by debunking the science involved in the record-breaking Star Wars: Force Awakens.

As indicative in the following tweets compiled by Mediaite, Star Warriors were not keen on Tyson dropping truth bombs on something constructed entirely on fantasy.

Run for shelter, Neil. Star Wars fans are not one to fucks with.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
