Neil deGrasse Tyson took to Twitter recently to toy with some earthlings, challenge, nitpick, and critique a series of scientific inaccuracies in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.'
In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, BB-8, a smooth rolling metal spherical ball, would have skidded uncontrollably on sand.

— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) December 21, 2015In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, the energy in a Star is enough to destroy ten-thousand planets, not just a few here & there.

He's done this in the past with other movies like 'Interstellar,' and quite frankly, it's a bit of an unbecoming buzzkill. Tyson doesn't care though, and claims some of the audience will watch sci-fi films for ideas on what to invent for future days.

Yahoo Answers NASA Questions Are The Best
User on Yahoo Answers asks a question if NASA invented thunderstorms to cover up the sounds of space battles. Without even getting into the fact that space battles would be largely silent, nor would NASA want to keep it quiet if they did make noise, as they would need political clout to get funding for said, 'space battles' to get people on their side. Unless that is not what they want, maybe this post is right, WE ARE ALL DOOMED.
My favorite part was when another user responded how maybe this user should go see a doctor, but my guess it is just a troll having some fun on Yahoo Answers.
We would like to say that you can't argue with photographic evidence but some people can and DO argue that the Earth is actually flat. If you're not a government clone of a celebrity (like Tila Tequila) or if you believe in science, you'll still love these amazing pictures of Earth from outer space.
