Is William Shatner joking when he says that he disputed with an astrophysicist about black holes?

Asked by flo (13313points) March 22nd, 2017

1)If he did say that is it funny? Is it like a butcher disputing with surgeons? I don’t have an audio/video where he says that,

2) Why are the actors mentioned in the same sentence with ? In the film, Shatner, 85, interviews celebrities, scientists and “thought-leaders,” including Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, science broadcaster David Suzuki, actors Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Alexander and Ben Stiller, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.”

Astrophysicists question each other all the time about stuff nobody really knows anything about. Like the “Big Bang” theory. I’m not an astrophysicist but I have my own opinion about that. And, hey! – ANYBODY could have a good idea! So why not William Shatner???

@kritiper But the entertainers are being metioned in the same sentence, and ahead of the astrophysisists.

Entertainers are anybody. And some of them are pretty darn sharp about some things!

@kritiper What are Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Alexander, and Ben Stiller have to say about it?
People follow entertainers anywhere, ...into the ditch.

…I meant what do Whoopie Goldberg Jason Alexander, and Ben Stiller, and William Shatner have to say about it? ” Please post a link (of video) and show what exactly they are saying, esp. Shatner disputing with an astrophysisist.
