  The crazy part is that Neil said that if they contacted him, he would've gladly done it lol.

  “I rap sharp like a needle in your eye” and “stick to drinking that mercury” are both references to experiments Newton did on himself.

  Just a quick point - Newton said he "discovered" gravity, not that he "invented" it. In scientific circles, that's a big distinction, and is a legitimate claim by Newton. Also, it hurts my soul you didn't recognize Chali 2na.

  He didn't say he invented Gravity, he said he DISCOVERED Gravity.

  "I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow you're standing in" This one is a heavy heavy punch. Newton being the man who INVENTED calculus just to prove his theory of gravity was right. We still use his theory of Calculus today in all the engineering field to calculate weights, sizes, shapes, volumes and a lot more. No only he's pointing at how Bill Nye is in Newton's shadow, but also how vastly superior Newton's Math are.

  One of the hardest lines pretty easy to miss was Newton immediately saying "Well I conclude your methods are the wackiest" in his second verse. Rebutting Bill Nye's "I hypothesize your about to be beat" ending line.  In the scientific method you start by hypothesizing and end when you come to a conclusion. Newton practically finishes Nye's line and proceeds to say his method is wack.

  FYI, He never said that he "invented" gravity, but instead he said that he "discovered" it.  Therefore, he's still correct, because invent and discover have two completely different meanings.

  I also love how Neil himself even said at one point when this battle first dropped that he would have loved to be apart of this battle if they had contacted him

  The fact that there was no one for "hypothesize that you're about to get beat" bothers me to this day.

  Something I see very few reactors mention is the fact that the first thing Tyson does when he enters is diss his own teammate.  When he tells Newton "Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?"  He is basically saying that Nye is so far below Newton in intelligence that it wasn't even a fair fight from the start.  Nye had a couple of good pokes, Tyson barely had any attacks, was mostly all swagger, while Newton was slamming throughout his verses.  Newton body bagged Nye.
