[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 334403"] Any of you guys catch Neil deGrasse Tyson's recent tweets? [MEDIA=twitter]895634473425014785[/MEDIA] This is like saying because I can predict at a particular point in time the exact location of a car travelling at a constant speed in a constant direction, I can therefore predict the same for a leaf blowing out of a tree in a strong storm. When leaf blowing models historically have proven false. Its just so sad, and its destructive to anybody who fights for real science. Our local TV station has a "3 degree guarantee" where they give $100 to charity every day they predict the high temperature for the day within +/- 3 degrees. So a 6 degree range, predicted only 1 day in advance. And they're wrong about 1/3rd of the time. False arrogance just makes me embarrassed for some of these people. [/QUOTE]
