Jose Canseco, who is insane, is an impressively former major league baseball player and active Twitter user. When not tweeting about rape allegations or his paintings of Donald Trump, Canseco tweets about science–a lot. He actually fired out this gem as I was was in the process of gathering these.

Take a stroll through his science tweets and maybe you might just learn something! He was once nicknamed The Chemist, after all.

Don’t die in 2049 like a dummy.

Made possible by nanobots.

For the sake of men everywhere, please do not do this, women.

So Canseco is against drone strikes… I think?

Classic time traveler mistake: letting the foes of time travelers know your one weakness.

Surely he means refined sugar, right? Which… is also not true, actually.

If only! Also, Canseco looks for some answers from actual astronauts.

Recommendations!

What are they hiding?

But the best is last! This is the world-shaking theory on ancient gravity that started it all.

This theory spawned a rebuttal from Science Guy Bill Nye. To which Canseco responded:

But things turn out on a good note. Here are Canseco’s thoughts on science:
