“The most dangerous people in a free society are those who don’t know… It’s okay to not know. But if you don’t know, but think you do know … that is dangerous. Those are the signs of the end of an informed democracy.”

In between dropping diss tracks about flat earth theories and tweeting about Trump’s disastrous science and arts policies, world renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is finding time to visit Australia in July 2017 in Neil deGrasse Tyson: A Cosmic Perspective.
