B.O.B just dropped a diss track to Neil DeGrasse Tyson ...Dr. Tyson Claps Back!

Soooo, nobody is questioning NDT's assertion that the earth is shaped like this?:

Because that's definitely not a globe or sphere.

He was trying to dumb it down for people who don't understand terms like "oblate spheroid"

Yeah, I understand what he was doing, also when he was talking about the spinning pizza dough analogy. My question is, Do people think that the "oblate spheroid" is more correct than the perfect sphere that supposedly represents earth?

yes. The oblate spheroid earth model is what aerospace engineers and flight dynamicists use for designing satellite orbits because that's how the earth is truly shaped. On top of the earth's rotation, mountain ranges also happen to factor into the shape of the earth as well.

I'm not an aerospace engineer but I do work side by side with them every day.

In grade school they'll teach you that's it's sphere and that's good enough to be honest.

Holodomor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That crazy nikka starved millions of people to death.
And that's only a portion of the people he killed.

stalin killing more people than hitler was normal, well known history i thought. hitler was out here goin ham on the jews with some other nikkas sprinkled in, but stalin was getting at anyone in range basically

BoB bout to be out here chillin, getting history lessons from mel gibson, tryna act like he woke.

the worst thing aobut this all is this nikka is hashtagging #idiocracy like we're the ones thats retarded

Fair enough, what about rocket and space shuttle flight patterns? Why do they always curve on ascent? Because that seems like a waste of fuel when you can basically go in a straight "line"

[N.J.stan]

some of these callers gotta be

Caller: Kevin from upstate ny
Envy: what you do for living?
Caller: an electrician from upstate ny
Envy: ok, yeah, you the perfect person to ask this question

Envy hit him with the lowkey insult and dude didnt even pick up on it

That's a good question and I don't really know the answer to it. I'll tell you what, I'm snowed out from work right now but when I go back in I'll ask the experts (we're snowed out right now)


If I had to guess I'd wager they go that route due to all of the forces at play (drag, thrust, gravity from earth and the moon, etc...).

"And Stalin was way worse than Hitler"

Anyone wanna speak on this?

BoB the 20th century historian

Stalin was extremely bad b. With that said, so was Hitler for Bavaria and most American Presidents who push white supremacy for brothas/sistas.

Those concepts are bullshyt.

I disagree.

Difference between you and I is that one doesn't negate the other in my philosophy. Change in what we know and how we see the world is inevitable. A lot metaphysical concepts will go from being "meta" to mundane as our knowledge expands. Ultimately I feel like the people who REALLY change the world walk that line in the middle...some of the greatest inventors and scientific minds throughout history delved into concepts that don't jive with the thought process of a staunch materialist.

I LOVE Neil, he's an inspiration but he ain't the "one" in that sense...neither is B.O.B. for that matter Whoever that "one" is, they will probably understand that where limits of the scientific method lie is where everything else begins.

People. Still. Think. The. World. Is. Flat.In. 2016.

Tila Tequila (remember her?) was on that dumb shyt too on twitter just last week. LAST WEEK.

There really isn't anything you can say at this point. especially considering it was disproven over 500 years ago...

All logic and reason is out the window. Let's just enjoy the fukkery

You substituted religion in lieu of a more palatable, more ambiguous, less committal version of superstition.
