Avi Loeb (Harvard) Responds Brutally to Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s Criticism: ‘Not A Practicing Scientist!’

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb explains why Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox "don't have the right" to criticize his research, because they're not practicing scientists publishing peer-reviewed papers.

Should science communicators like Neil deGrasse Tyson be allowed to publicly criticize active researchers, or does that cross a line when they're not publishing papers themselves?

Avi Loeb is a Harvard astronomy professor, bestelling author of "Extraterrestrial," leading researcher on interstellar objects and the search for alien technology.

Expect to learn:

-Why Avi Loeb says science popularizers like Neil deGrasse Tyson prioritize being "liked" over rigorous research.

-The difference between practicing scientists (publishing papers) and science communicators (talking about others' work).

-Why echo chambers in the scientific community make even credible voices risk being wrong (Einstein's 1935-1940 mistakes as proof).

-Why Loeb doesn't use social media and how that frees him from popularity contests in science.

BEST QUOTES:

"In order to speak with credibility about science, you need to be a practicing scientist."

“Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson. They don't have the right to argue against me. I wrote more than a dozen papers about 3I/ATLAS… they haven't written a single paper over the past decade."

"It's just like someone sitting on the bench making statements about the players in the field."

"They're motivated by whatever the majority of opinion is, whatever is being liked by others."
