This is about as interesting as debating whether some activity is a sport.

Why do runners who are not tier 1 or 2 elites consider themselves competing in a sport?
So, we have 25 planets in our solar system now?
Well, Tyson, the number of planets can be any number you want it be. Personal choice.
If he was gonna make up a time, wouldn't he make up a fast time?
4:25 is nothing so who cares

Self-proclaimed 425miler, the esteemed Dr. Tyson, has been overruled by Harvard.
Tyson is a Harvard graduate. His alma mater turned on him. That has to be the ultimate embarrassment.

By LRC standards 4:25 is hobbyjogging.

Christian music? What's up with that?
No, if you watched the whole video I don't think you'd characterize it as Christian music. Rather the opposite, perhaps.
Tyson is a real dancing fool in the video. He is in it for only a few seconds.
Tyson is such a sad little man; smug, abrasive, and not quite the genius he'd want others to believe.
The 4:25 mile is utter bullsh!t, but that's not a surprise based on his penchant for making stuff up as he pleases.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and he has none when it comes to that mile time he bragged about. He would've been a major factor in the PSAL in the mid 70s with a time like that, but he's nowhere to be found in the results/record books.
Pretty smart guy and an even better self promoter, but it's becoming increasingly obvious that he's more of a douche than anything else.
NdT may well launch an attack against his naysayers on these forums. If he can kick Pluto out of the Solar System as a planet, then he is more than capable of kicking some LRC poster bootah...
He'll have a hard time sifting through the Alan Webb comeback threads.
deGrasse Tyson can sift through blackholes. no problem finding what he needs.
I'm guessing his 4:25 mile was done in practice on a course dubiously measured by his coach.
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It's not even the biggest dwarf planet. It's not even as big as the moon. It's a useless chunk of ice exiled to the farthest reaches of the solar system. I piss on Pluto.

When we start expanding into the outer solar system ice will be a very useful thing to find.

I don't see any murderers on this list...
cheers.
http://mentalfloss.com/article/62131/18-famous-people-you-might-not-realize-go-their-middle-namesThose people use solely their middle name. Tyson is so much more important than everybody else that he needs both. One name cannot fully encompass or express his greatness. (If you don't believe me, ask him.)
Get it right next time, or Walter Bruce Willis is gonna kick your butt.
