Is Neil deGrasse Tyson a stoner? Some have speculated, and the general consensus seems to be, yes, the famed astrophysicist, author, and television personality is totally a stoner. With big and revolutionary ideas about space, time, and the universe we inhabit, the man embodies the big world of stoned thoughts and a wonky sort of brilliant counter-cultural rebellion.
Others have played with the Tyson-as-a-stoner trope with hilarious results (we’ve embedded this genius Cosmos parody at the bottom in which the “Tyson” narrator explains that he’s “here to tell you how fucking rad space is” right before taking a giant bong hit).
Though it appears he’s never publicly admitted to partaking in the cannabis plant, Salon‘s Joanna Rothkopf has uncovered some deliciously damning new evidence in Tyson’s Twitter feed: Mathematical analysis of every stoner’s favorite delivery fallback. Here’s what the Cosmos dude had to say:
Odd that pizza is sold by the inch, but consumed by the square-inch. This fact confuses assessment of pricing and toppings.

If the cheese on a 14-inch pizza falls just 1-inch shy of the crust, the pie is missing 30% of the cheese that could be there

In other words, if the crust of a 14-inch pizza is 1-inch wide, then the next 1-inch band occupies 30% of the topping's area.
