The Rules

I feel like people take these way too seriously, like some of these comments sound like it's personal. Its just a movie/book series if some one wants to poke some fun then just let em.

It's a scifi series, If in their universe sands can pass vibrations for a long range, they are welcome to do whatever they want.

yeah, I don't care if a fantasy universe is inconsistent with our standards and physics.

I only care if its blatantly inconsistent within its own rules.

I like NDT, but the dude just loves to shitpost constantly like this and its tiresome.

I think the problem is more that Tyson is "uMm AcHtUaLlY"ing in a way to try and be cool or funny, but it doesn't come off as cool or funny what-so-ever. It's just irritating.
