I Still Consider Pluto a Planet

PLUTO Is a Planet!

Written on May 9th, 2009

It is so strange when the most acclaimed and approved scientists worldwide first for centuries "believe" - with significant amount of research - in geocentric system, and later - in heliocentric such.... Then again similar people for centuries truly "believe" and teach all people - with significant amount of scientific data and research - that Pluto is a planet - and only to find out a few years ago that it is not.

LOL ROFLMAO

Btw, "believe" is not a proper word for a science, is it? Science is not a religion to be blindly believed in. 

Science is a strange thing, is it not? Even alchemy would be more of a trustful science in comparison to a science that has the data and is still "wrong". For centuries. 

This is not at all strange. :-)

This is just truly unbelievable!

 

Is there ANY science at all around? Or we are just always being mislead for one or another reason?

 

Things like that are not so small to be just missed. Why should I believe people that have proved that for centuries have been wrong? Always. Regarding quite too many things indeed.

Regarding Pluto - it is not that they have significant new evidence or similar - it's just that they have a new bureaucratic classification, you see.

 

Well, there can be quite a huge amount of any classifications really. Why not say that Pluto is an atom in the Universe or maybe an amoeba? It all depends on where you start your research from, and what you accept to have as a startpoint coordinates in matter/time and else.

 

 

I still believe in the good old planet Pluto, and it exists in our Solar System.

    Science is all about change and challenge. Pluto was discovered in 1930. With better technology, Pluto was discovered to be much smaller than our own moon. With even better recent technology, Pluto has a total 4 even smaller moons, it doesn't qualify as a planet. It doesn't matter what we call it, as it has been in our Solar System since before man and will be long after earth has been consumed.

    Pluto was not discoverd until 1930. The term "planet" had not formally been defined until 2006 at a meeting of the IAU. The term was defined because there are other bodies that would be considered planets if you included all of generally accepted "planets" - as many as 12. Reclassifying Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet didn't change anything about Pluto - just what we call it.



    As you can see, the emotional claims to question science are much more eggregious than those of scientists reclassifying planets. In fact, defining the word "planet" and reclassifying Pluto just go to prove that science is more trustworthy. They couldn't just keep calling objects floating in space planets without first giving a set of rules to measure by:

    Does it orbit around a star? Pluto does, but so do other masses

    Does it have enough mass to be almost round or round? Pluto does, but so do other masses

    Has it cleared the neighborhood around it's orbit of miscreant matter? Pluto has not



    So, Pluto is still the same Pluto we have all come to know and love and nothing much has changed except that now we put it in a different box because the boxes are labeled better.

    I agree totally. Besides, if you follow what actually IS suppose to be a planet by it's rules, well, frankly, half the planets..aren't. I'll explain in a big boring blog later, as soon as I make it unboring, correct, and a little funny. In the meantime, I agree

    I agree, Pluto is to me still a planet.



    The 'newer' generation of astronomer (or whatever they want to be called) is too narrow minded to make much of anything work now.



    To study the stars and planets one needs to be open to possibilities .. they seem as though they are not.



    Thanks for sharing.

    Astronomy has always been one of the most true sciences not only because of its importance towards life, but also because it combines the best of analytical mathematics with the best of visionary exploration - that is why it is really a great shame now that such a truly beautiful science happens to sometime fall into bureaucracy instead of science.
