Jason and Travis Kelce Podcast Features Neil deGrasse Tyson Debunking Conspiracy Theories
On a recent episode of their 'New Heights' podcast, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce hosted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to address common conspiracy theories prevalent among NFL players. The discussion focused on two specific claims: that the United States never landed on the Moon and that the Earth is flat. Tyson systematically debunked both theories using scientific facts. Regarding the Moon landing, he explained the capabilities of the Apollo missions and the evidence of multiple successful lunar journeys, including the distribution of Moon rocks to scientists worldwide. For the flat Earth theory, Tyson cited time zone differences and the visual phenomenon of sunsets as evidence of Earth's curvature, humorously suggesting that football itself provides the best example of a round Earth.
