Huh? Did he know that BB-8 was a practical effect ("puppet") and didn't exhibit this behavior?
What did he mean by this?
i hate how that nigger turned science into a meme
le black science man
>>64430205
op can you read?
My mother actually texted me that.
>Neil DeGrase Tyson said this!
She wouldn't listen when I told her that they actually fucking made the thing and it worked like a charm.
>>64430205
Is he autistic savant?
What sort of people retweet or like things like this?
>hurr this fantasy movie isnt completely realistic
dumb nigger
>>64430294
redditors, fedora tippers, fat chicks
>>64430205
Good thing BB-8 wasn't smooth.
>HURRR DURRRR BUT IT"S A PUPPET!!!!! IT"S ACUTALLY THERE HURRR
you guys really this retarded?
Do you think they will make the puppet out of metal and make it weigh a ton?
>>64430262
Can you? BB-8 was a real, physical object rolling on sand.
>>64430205
>practical effect
Yea, in those scenes where BB8 isn't moving.
>>64430205
>Lol the ball would just skid around, silly fimmakers!
This isn't even close to science, this is just autism. He's fucking wrong anyway.
>>64430348
You really this dumb?
>Smooth
But he had a pattern much like that of a soccer ball/football with bumps in it specifically for the reason of traction, he was not completely 100% smooth.
Is this nigga retarded or some shit smdh
>>64430350
...Except for all these times when they actually rolled out BB8 on stage to prove to fans that he was real.
i honestly can't tell who is trolling who about what.
they made bb8, it rolls on sand, which is coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere, but i don't see the problem.
I thought Carl Sagan was a meme but holy fucking shit this retarded idiot is so fucking insufferable I can't stand this faggot anymore
>>64430348
2bad the puppet was light as fuck and wasn't made out of metal
>>64430205
But Neil, why are there functioning RC models of BB-8 then?
>>64430387
I fucking HATE sand
>>64430400
>>64430322
No? Who the fuck ever said it was made of metal? Looks more like plastic to me.
>getting mad at a tweet of all things
/tv/ is reaching genuine manchild levels
If you like sand so much why don't you marry with it?
DUH
>>64430446
It's obviously ivory from the last white rinos on the planet.
>>64430407
Did anyone ever claim BB-8 was made of metal? Star Wars has it's own fictional alloys, so discussing what he's made of is pointless.
>>64430348
>being pulled across sand
>rolling on sand
Wew lad
only thing i hate more than episode VII is the reddit meme black science man
so it brings me pleasure that he's completely fucking wrong again
>>64430407
whos to say the real bb8 would be made out of metal and not some bullshit space alloy that plastic but strong as steel, im sure there is some wookiepedia page about something like this but im not a nerd so i dont really give a shit, i just hate this science meme man
>>64430449
This. Everything triggers the autists on this board.
>>64430205
He's like the Ricky Gervais of science.
>>64430449
they're so autistic. it really is hilarious. this board is almost as bad as /pol/ at this point.
DUDE FICTION DOESNT ADHERE TO REAL LIFE LAWS LMAO SCIENCE
>>64430385
Like when they brought out tupac on stage?
>>64430599
Yes, he's turned Atheism into a religion. He thinks about God more often than theists do.
>>64430363
Are you?
>>64430433
Do those models work on sand?
>>64430205
>Not knowing that BBC-8inches generates a micro static field that allows it to easily manoeuvres along granular surfaces
I thought this faggot had a phd in meme science?
>>64430639
DUDE THE FORCE LMAO
>>64430385
Except that BB-8 didn't move like in the movie.
In the film, BB-8 rolls while keeping it's head stationary, but when they rolled it on stage, it's head always leaned forward when moving.
Not to mention that they've stated that they had multiple models for BB-8 depending on what it needed to do in a scene.
>>64430504
Pretty sure they make a point of showing how heavy he is when he falls on Fin.
Although Its shocking anyone cares about this.
>>64430835
>but when they rolled it on stage, it's head always leaned forward when moving.
He's shy.
If that's the kind of shit the determines you're enjoyment of the film then you have shit taste, Neil.
>>64430857
>Although Its shocking anyone cares about this.
It's a slow day on /tv/.
>doesn't mention he didn't like film
>say a fault
>HE FUCKS HATE IT WHAT A PLEB
lol
>>64430905
You're a pleb if you don't hate TFA.
>>64430205
BB-8 should hate sand then? Poetic.
>>64430905
The people who like VII are the plebs. However his complaint is retarded. What, is he going to start proclaiming that lightsabers can't work in real life?
>>64430857
>Pretty sure they make a point of showing how heavy he is when he falls on Fin.
So only metal is heavy?
>>64430905
We're not saying he hates it; we're saying he's getting his facts wrong.
>"It wouldn't do that because science!"
Actually, Neil, it would, and it did.
>>64430957
underrated
>>64431011
>>64430857
lol nope he's right you are just too dumb to understand why
BB8 is heavy as fuck
it will skid irl
>>64431060
Except it didn't, you fucking mongoloid.
>>64430983
Correction, people who like Star Wars as a whole are plebs. In your case it's just plebs calling plebs plebs.
>>64431186
Because the prop wasn't heavy. Are you dense?
>>64431186
If you think BB-8 was a fully functional robot, you are fucking delusional.
>>64431229
But it was. It literally was.
>>64430205
> I know shit about science, but Im famous for it. You better believe my shit!
>>64430205
Literally who cares? Pic-related, he's been doing this nitpicky shit since forever.
>>64430205
>it's a nitpick science Nigger tweet
Hey- hey guize.
https://youtu.be/A_K10fX9DSY
>>64431224
The weight of the prop is irrelevant. BB-8 wasn't necessarily made of metal as we know it. Star Wars is filled with fictional alloys that weigh next to nothing, so if it worked as a prop, it works in the movie. End of.
>>64431297
No.
Compare the way he moves on stage, to the way he moves in the film. In the film, his head is always stationary while moving. But with the stage model, it's head tilts while moving.
See >>64431355
>>64430385
>le it's all practical in TFA meme
>>64431332
People also don't realize he's being tongue-in-cheek and doesn't actually think those things make the movie bad. Not saying it's actually funny, but he's not being serious.
Didn't they use an actually practical effect robot drone thing?
>>64430322
We have carbon fiber in everything now, why wouldn't space people use it? Why would you make a droid for a starfighter weigh a ton?

>Whining about inconsistencies in science fiction
>>64431385
So the A team puppeteers couldn't make it to the event. They were back at Spheero HQ pumping out toys. The B team puppeteers couldn't keep the head on top.
>>64431534
Its not an inconsistency, those are fine to whine about, verisimilitude is important but retards don't understand that.
>>64431377
In the movie they show BB-8 being very heavy when fin tries to catch him.
>>64431581
i could care less
>>64431618
Finn might be weak as fuck. BB-8 might be able to change it's weight depending on what surface it's on.
Who fucking cares?
>>64431480
That was great.
>>64430998
Well, his weight is a major factor in him skidding. Also fairly sure he makes metallic sounds when rolling and bumping into things.
>>64431628
So you do care slightly? Or did you possibly mean that you couldn't care less, you stupid Amerifat?
>>64431408
twitter didn't exist in 2002
>>64431658
Nobody fucking cares about how it works in the movie. It working in the movie is fine and doesn't need to be explained. It's science fiction.
People are arguing about how it would work in real life.
>>64431727
>He actually took the bait
>>64431186
>HE IS REAL!
>I LOVE HIM!
itt autists shipping themselves with a droid.

Shaking my head to be honest family
>>64431755

>>64431377
The prop weight is what your whole argument hinges on. Its ok, you can still like the movie and the little robot. Laser swords aren't real either and I still like them.
>Inconsistency in a movie
>I-it's part of the l-lore!
Lazy writing brings out the best in shills.
>>64431870
How does this show inconsistency? Do you know what that word means?
>>64430205
>"how do I get people to like science? I know! I'll use it to shit on everything thats popular!"
fucking retard
>>64430449
Even normalfags get mad at lame shit like twitter now.
>>64431892
It's inconsistent with reality
>>64431916
Do you understand the concept of fiction?
>>64431949
If any of us did, this thread wouldn't exist right now
>>64431742
It works in real life because it was a real prop.
We're going around in circles.

tbqh it was probably not designed to be an all-terain offroad device.
>>64431742
it just does, and it doesnt matter as theyve shown the stupid thing actually exists
the nigger made a point that while right doesnt actually affect bb8 who isnt actually a solid spherical ball of metal making it pointless
re res gon re
i fucking hate this arrogant faggot
>>64430205
is tyson under the impression sand is smooth as ice and not fucking rough and has good friction?
my chinnesse stress balls roll in sand when thrown, remember these guys work within vaccum environments that for all intents and purposes dont matter as they dont exist
>>64430205
This "scientist" doesn't even understand a basic concept like tires. Next we will be told that cars cannot drive off road due to "uncontrollable skidding." Makes me sick.
>>64430322
who said BB8 was metal?
>>64430572
unfunny, wrong, a douche, and annoying?
>>64432216
what was it designed for, then?
A toy, obviously, but what's it good for? A polished floor would render it fucking useless.

carl sagan was a chill dude, degrassse is just annoying

What is his stance on 911 ? Has he made a twitter statement about the curious incident of the towers falling at free fall speed?
