Biography
Edit
Background informationEdit
Neil deGrasse Tyson once stole an idea from Rodney McKay. However, according to both Tyson and Bill Nye, this may not be entirely true. Back in the day whenever another physicist came up with a new idea or published a new paper, Doctor McKay would swear that he was already working on something very similar but "Just hadn't gotten around to publishing it yet". (SGA: "Brain Storm")
2006Edit
In 2006, Dr. Tyson played a role in declassifying Pluto as the Solar system's ninth planet. Because of Tyson, Pluto is now the first of the Plutoids—a new class of celestial object which, according to Bill Nye, is "cool!" (SGA: "Brain Storm")
