Is he an actual scientist? Is he a meme? What are his contributions to astronomy?

Because most of the time we discovered something was useful wayyy after we discovered it.

Fucking bill nye. Big think should have asked richard the fedora man instead.
Its worse than discussing philosophy- hes trying to educate people on a field he has no background in.
If you watch his newer videos you can see him struggle to answer questions.

He's the Black Michio Kaku.

Bill Nye is a huge asshole in person.

I swear I'm not talking about the stealing candy bars pasta either.

Really mate?

Except Michio Kaku has made very real contributions to string theory...

Who is the categorically "best" black scientist of all time?

Just looking him up real quick brings up something about improving the measurement of Hubble Constant and that he coauthored something with the guy who went on to win Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011. Wikipedia says he was also a researcher at some institutions. At
a young age he showed promise in the field of astronomy, but being a media personality was probably far too enticing.
