29. Neil deGrasse Tyson Won’t Debate The Flat Earthers
Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astronomer with a pretty impressive public profile. He has appeared in many different documentaries about the universe and hosted the television series Cosmos, an update to Carl Sagan’s series several decades ago. Furthermore, he refuses to debate with the flat earthers on Reddit. It seems that no matter what you tell them or how much proof you give them, they don’t seem even to want to listen or believe that they may not be right about the Earth being flat.
He has made some statements about the flat earth theory, none of which are positive. Nevertheless, the fact that he refuses to get onto Reddit and face down the flat earthers on that particular forum is evidence that you guessed it, the Earth is flat. However, in reality, it’s because Neil deGrasse knows that they will just argue and not give anyone the chance to believe the truth about Earth’s shape. Many people probably feel the same way as he does about that sort of discussion with certain people.
