Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson wanted to rock Adam Savage's world. So, he broke out his handy-dandy, insane sample of aerogel. Prepare to have your mind blown as well.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson invited a solid, unforgiving roasting on himself when he went and tweeted out a rather sassy tweet about the importance (or lack thereof) of New Year's Day. Let's just say we can't wait to see how this ridiculous little Twitter feud unfolds.
You guys...brilliant astrophysicists that could deconstruct the universe itself, are...just like us? For real though, shoutout to Neil deGrasse Tyson for the comedic relief in the Twitter black hole chock-full of Donald Trump/Comey politics news that'd otherwise drive us insane.

Neil deGrasse Tyson took to Twitter in support of the LGBTQ community just days after what many have called the deadliest mass shooting in America at an Orlando nightclub. He found a way to communicate this touching tribute the only way he knows how, science!

Neil DeGrasse Tyson made a lot of people (and presumably ducks, cats and bedbugs) angry with a much less than true fact about sex and evolution. His claim, that sex doesn't hurt any species had many Twitter users jumping to correct him.

And you might be thinking, he's just trying to be positive about human sexuality and say, in his own pseudoscientific way that it's healthy and painless for humans. But... that's actually not true either:

Sure, he's a scientist but cut him some slack, he's not that kind of scientist. He studied astrophysics, how's he supposed to check his facts at all before Tweeting about biology?

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, if you were to suck all of a star's energy into your planet, your planet would vaporize.
— 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.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) December 21, 2015He'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.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is like everyone's second dad who happens to know a lot about science.
But he's still just as embarrassing.
In a video from National Geographic, the scientist explains what it would take to have sex in space. And things get super S&M real fast.
"If you want to sort of get together [and] stay together, you need something to, like, keep you together during all the normal body movements that would characterize having sex in space," Tyson says."So yeah, just bring a lot of leather belts to keep things strapped down and you'll be just fine."
Neil gets even more awkward at the end of the video.
Just stop, Science Dad. Just stop.
