I guess I got confused when you brought Kaku into the discussion, as he is not mentioned nor the subject of the articles in the OP.
I'm also curious how being known in the scientific community and trying to popularize science makes one a "pop scientist" and somehow invalidates their knowledge or expertise.
Kaku graduated from Harvard and has a Ph.D in Physics from UC Berkeley. He's a reknowned professor and researcher of theoretical physics. Hardly an irrelevant qualification for commenting on the physics and motions of how stuff happens in space.
He has also done a good amount of science promotion on television, film, radio, and in books. I fail to see how being a more visible public figure makes his opinion less worthy.
This would be like arguing the Stephen Hawking was less intelligent or reputable because he is popularly well known outside of his scientific field of knowledge.

I was unaware this was intended to be a documentary. {nm} Oct 07, 14:47
Do you believe a movie can transform our world? {nm} Oct 07, 14:50
for some reason I saw "a physicist and an astronaut walk into a bar" :) {nm} Oct 07, 15:03
at least Buzz Aldrin liked it... Oct 07, 15:05
Degrasse-Tyson also liked it (quite a bit). He just pointed out where the science wasn't perfect. {nm} Oct 07, 15:22
Scientific opinions of these "pop scientists" aren't worth the paper their degrees are printed on. {nm} Oct 07, 15:55

He's the one that got Pluto downgraded. These guys are publicity hounds. They don't do real science. Oct 07, 18:08
... you realize that on the moon, it's ALWAYS "full moon" up there, unless it's in the earth's shadow (lunar eclipse) Oct 07, 18:20
Um, there's always one side of the Moon that faces Earth. Depending on the phase, it's either lit or not. Oct 07, 22:39
No. Oct 08, 10:19

I'll take scientists with PHDs, even "pop" ones, over anonymous internet person anyday. {nm} Oct 08, 09:54
Sure, thinking is over-rated. Listen to people who have letters after their names, they're smarter than you. Oct 08, 21:43
You have revealed volumes about yourself with these statements, and probably not in the direction or manner you intended. Oct 08, 22:25
Did Bill Nye say anything? -kidding. {nm} Oct 07, 16:35
Like we need them to tell me the movie looked AMAZING but the script was RIDICULOUS? lol (nm) Oct 08, 16:35
