Carl Sagan went to the big PBS special in the sky and Neil deGrasse Tyson became the center of gravity for science. Neil took “Titanic” producer, James Cameron to task because the wrong constellation appeared in one movie scene. The moon has fewer craters than the pounding Neil gave, “Gravity”, the George Clooney, Sandra Bullock movie. We should be relived that Neil approves of the new Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway movie, “Interstellar.” I don’t know if Saturn or Jupiter is closer to the Sun, but I know an orb of self-important hot gas when I see one. Educating people about science is good. However, the last word in Science Fiction is - fiction.  It’s great to be the smartest guy in the room is but, but it’s darned annoying to be constantly reminded. I’m E. Curtis Johnson. Does Neil deGrasse Tyson know that throwing popcorn at the movie screen and arguing with the actors is pointless? Someone please tell Neil deGrasse Tyson that the CBS TV show, “The Big Bang Theory,” is a situation comedy, not an explanation of the creation of the universe.
