Neil Degrasse TysonDon’t know if it’s good or bad that a Google search on “Big Bang Theory” lists the sitcom before the origin of the Universe
About This Quote
When a Google search on the name of a TV show lists the TV show before the time that the Universe began, it proves that people pay more attention to pop culture than they do to science. This shows just how culture has taken over and how it has suffocated science in the minds of the general public. It is okay to go back and learn something from something you learned earlier in life, but it is not okay to be ignorant about every fact in the world because you didn’t know about it before.
