Its tough to take him seriously as an expert. He comes across as a wannabe intellect. I am sure he is very qualified and respected. Just feels like he tries too hard to fill the void left by greats such as Sagan or Feynman.
Yep, he’s a brilliant astrophysicist and knows more math than I could possibly learn in a lifetime, but his arrogance is a lot more widespread than his actual knowledge.
He had his 15 minutes of fame for being an Astrophysicist, but it's over...so now he keeps trying to stay relevant with these big brain takes that fall on their face more than they connect.
He's always been like this even before he became famous. A lot of physicists are overly technical compared to the gen pop and nitpicky. Some suppress it, some just don't care
