The Cosmos master has spoken.

Typed, actually. And he concurs with Pete Carroll.

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson posted his response Tuesday to Seahawks coach Carroll asking him to explain how Russell Wilson’s wondrous flip into the open field Sunday against Philadelphia that game officials ruled a legal lateral backward appeared forward.

FYI: The lateral that @DangeRussWilson threw to @MikeDavisRB in Sunday’s @Seahawks @Eagles game was a legit “Galilean Transformation”. In their reference frame, the ball went backwards. It’s not their fault they ran forward faster than the ball.
