Are they correct? Why?
I think they are misleading the masses. For what reason?

E=MC^2 works the same way. Agree?

Read the comments on youtube, can you see how stupid are the masses?
Why our science and math education so bad? How can we fix the problems?

Neil Degrasse Tyson is the same, talks about time travel and gravity wave and photon on youtube, mislead the masses.
Time is not a physical place that can be traveled, time travel is not science fiction but science lie. Agree?
Neil explains space-time as if you meet someone it must be a place and a time. He forgot when he is farting, many monkeys are farting at the same time at different places. Agree?

You were warned to keep to the forum rules but chose to ignore this request.
It was your choice to take the consequences.

Why?
Because they get the maths wrong.
About 7 minutes into this video
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuIIjLr6vUA
the presenter explains that the sum
1 +1-1+1-1+1-1...
does not have a sum.
In particular, that sum is not a half.
And here's the important message.
Some scientists said something which is wrong. (Maybe by mistake; maybe as a joke- maybe for a bet- who knows?)
Some other scientist(s) pointed out that it was wrong (and why it was wrong).
Now everybody knows the right answer.
That's how science works.
