“Little-people” planet wouldn’t work, even in politically-correct California.
Oh. Well the relevant content was pasted so you don’t have to go to the link. Pluto is not classified as a planet any longer. That’s what the article is about.
So much for “settled science.”
“Pluto is not classified as a planet any longer. That’s what the article is about.”
From your link:
In the end, astronomers voted for the controversial decision of demoting Pluto (and Eris) down to the newly created classification of “dwarf planet”.
Right, “dwarf planet”, of which there are many. Not “planet”, of which there are eight.
It’s nothing to do with settled or not settled science. It’s all about definitions. Pluto is what it always was. The only question is what we call it.
I understand. I was being sarcastic from frustration over scientific disagreements, especially over “global warning.” It wasn’t anything against you or your post.
