[@yakkowarner20]

What people don't realize about the "Perhaps it'd be better if I added a bleep or bloop or another wacky sound effect?" bar is that; it's not only a diss on Bill Nye for his PBS show, but it also references Weird Al's many, many songs that have so many wacky sound effects in them.

[@skrishna3]

I believe the whole "your work on orbits was exemplary but your circle of friends were shoddy" might have been a double referencing how people initially thought planets revovled in circular orbits, while in reality they revolve in Eliptical ones. So eliptical orbits being the "shoddy circles" as well as mocking his poor social life.

@@JessRansdellSmith He's a buffoon because he justifies his condescending, know it all attitude on the fact he has a Bachelor's in Engineering. Now on its own, sure that's impressive. But most of the time he is trying to make himself an authority figure on other fields of science way out of his expertise. That and as of the last few years, he really has thrown himself in with the "woke" crowd. (for lack of a better word). Newton pretty much singlehandedly reinvented all of physics at the time and invented an entire field of mathematics. Tyson is an actual Astrophysicist who tends to stay in that field and lets other experts argue in their own fields.

[@impulsive1252]

The Harry Potter bars were a reference to Isaac Newton practicing alchemy, I believe.

[@pronobsarker3828]

"You're no match for me, you got a bach degree" is such a nasty bar to all the people who got a bach degree

[@yucaipawarrior]

Science Bachelor degrees really don't mean much. With how big these curves are, there are people with 2.0 GPAs getting degrees by getting ~25-30% on tests. Bio/Chem/Biochem PhDs are referred to as "failed doctors" because all the high GPA undergrad students become MD/DO/DVM/Dentists/Pharmacists.

Nice reaction as usual. Newton's equation was one that he considered unsolvable because he (and others at the time) had dismissed Descarte's 'i' as fanciful. It was only later mathematicians that proved it otherwise. "i" is the correct answer. Hell of a bar in general. I love Newton's flow in this one.

[@coregazer]

Since this is a science themed battle I feel I should shout out one of my favourite ERBs: Einstein vs Steven Hawking. One of the earlier ones that gained quite a lot of traction and in spite of them doing this for so many years is still one of my favourites.

[@lightworkersguide3820]

“I accelerated the mind of mankind to a higher plane of understanding and I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind you're standing in." When Carl Sagan was explaining higher planes of existence to laymen, he used his famous "Flatlanders" story to get the point across. He held a cube in front of a light so that it cast a shadow. As he rotated the cube in various positions, it's shape remained a cube but the shadow it cast changed. This showed that trying to calculate the weight and the size and the shape of an object in a higher plane just from its SHADOW is impossible. So Newton is bragging that he can do the impossible through an apparent veiled reference to that Flatlanders story. Not only is it an amazing line, but it once again showcases the brilliant minds behind ERB.” -Casey Locke

[@JRandomTv]

IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS, Love ya Knox! Also, you don’t have to apologize to us for traveling to see family, take your time!!!

[@yucaipawarrior]

You caught the physics bar in the second verse for Newton with the third law but missed the part of the setup in the first verse. In the second verse, he states that the battle is not an equal and opposite reaction. But in the first verse he says he keeps flowing, because the first law says motion is conserved unless encountering an equal (and opposite) force. With this bar, he prefaces that his rapping has no equal then doubles down on it in the next verse.

Imho, people are a bit unfair to Bill Nye. Although he's not of the caliber of Sir Isaac Newton, he is most probably the reason why some people are into science -not Newton. Should be teachers able to create he content they're teaching? No, that's not their job. Their job is to understand the content and explain it to us, which is not an easy task!

Also, it is important to remember Bill has given humanity many inventions as well mostly in the field of aerospace technology and contributed to many other advances in the aerospace field on top of his work of promoting scientific and STEM knowledge among the younger generations. Most people unfortunately just think of Bill as a TV host but he has actually done a lot more.

[@malionshadowweaver4282]

Another great breakdown as always Knox. However, I would like to rebut a point, a small one. While I appreciate Sir Isaac Newton, due to his genius (as well as level of insanity from mercury) I would think that his grading standards would be far higher than normal (higher plane of understanding, wouldn't pass in one of my classrooms). While Bill Nye has a low hanging fruit of a degree, he understood the need for more scientists, but the problem was and still is that science, at a certain age, can be insanely complex and very boring. His PBS show was aimed to get kids interested and hooked into the field of science while battling the ignorance of creationists. His debate with Ken Ham was especially illuminating, because whenever Ken Ham couldn't answer a question, instead of admitting he didn't know something he would chalk it up to God. I cannot remember the number of times he said the phrase "There's a Good Book you can read" (the bible), which was infuriating. So I feel that particular bar fell flat because while Isaac was devout in his faith, if memory serves he was adamant in his opposition to the church regarding scientific research.

[@nikebellend]

I do love the irony of Weird Al dissing Bill Nye about wacky sound effects, that's a little one that not many people seem to call out

[@tomu5313]

Hey Knox! I know you really like your doubles and triples, so I would love to see you break down Bo Burnham - Words Words Words :))

[@Audiojack_]

YES! Thank you for this reaction!

[@robinraphael]

Sir Isaac Newton was a straight genius for his time Billy boy has a ton more info and didnt make a single step into the physics department sooooo I think we know who wins and who's next

[@jasonrichardson1999]

Isaac Newton also stole alot of formulas and etc,also was very-people

[@jasonrichardson1999]

In terms of overall Bill Nye has done more to help science along than Isaac

[@MultiMoo20]

@@jasonrichardson1999 if wasn’t for Newton Bill Nye wouldn’t have much to teach

[@jasonrichardson1999]

@@MultiMoo20 if it wasn't for Newton then science might of had more than just one big scientist during his time because he was a plagiarist

If you want some beautiful characterization, Jacques Cousteau vs Steve Irwin, or George Carlin vs Richard Pryor. If you want bars and a half, Lance Armstrong vs Babe Ruth

I watched Bill nye in school, then after school learned who he is and now I abhor him and his ideas

[@thelivingmiracle]

My thoughts changed when I went to the Ark Encounter and learned about his debates

[@TFFgeek]

Biggest suprise was Knox knowing the Jurrasic 5 and indirectly Chali 2na. This man knows his classics! 🙌

😆😅🤣 WEIRD AL IS THE God with PARODIES. You should see his work. Or rather watch and listen to his work. One parody we can actually learn some basic to the English language. It's called "Word Crimes" 😆 on more than a few I thought his Parodies (like that one) were an oringal song.

Turns out Newton was right on both counts. The universe is both infinite and expanding. Because space itself expands.

[@thevikingdad4882]

i know im late, but yes "i" is a signature constant for the square root of negative one. what makes that line even better is it was the 'unsolvable question' until Mr. Tyson was actually the one who solved the equation. super physics bars

[@jacklovejoy5290]

The Harry Potter business line is because when Newton was going crazy he was trying to find the Philosopher's Stone, the McGuffin from the first Harry Potter book (Sorcerer's stone in the States)

[@PerryThePlaticorn]

If you like crazy cameos, you gotta do Santa Claus vs Moses! Your head will spin.

[@なに-p3m]

His head will indeed spin dogg!

[@michellemccloy823]

What is Weird Al doing on an ERB??? Killin it! That's what!

[@morrettigames5153]

Been waiting for this breakdown!

[@kagomecc461]

[@Zubs1507]

[@cgonzales115]

[@megatfarid4679]

Damn, Knox..i was not ready for that song in the intro..dark.. i like it 👍🔥
