In all nonseriousness, I'd have to agree. If Pluto is a transplanet, who are we to assign it to anything different?

I'm not totally against classifying Pluto as a planetoid or whatever, but maybe I'm just too used to it being a planet. If nothing else, I'd at least like to educate the public on the new classifications and planets/planetoids discovered in the last couple decades. The nine planet myth is bull****.

I remember reading an article about it when it was declassified as a planet. Don't remember the reason. First they demoted it to a dwarf planet, then to not a planet at all. Seems kind of rude if you ask me.

Why is Pluto no longer a planet? - BBC News

Note to self: don't post a picture of the death star, discussion of Pluto will occur.

That is not correct. Pictures of the Death Star are always appropriate.

actually i think they stripped pluto of its planet rights to make the distinction a little less arbitrary, since they discovered a bunch of other "planets" beyond pluto that i guess they considered too insignificant to include with the original 8. and at some point they do have to make arbitrary distinctions. otherwise we might not even have words like planet. like someone could call every asteroid in the asteroid belt a planet. or they could say anyone over 300 pounds is a planet. without arbitrary distinctions in classification you simply have anarchy.

what i want to know is what makes scientists so arrogant as to think they can tell us **** like dark matter exists. we ask them where's your proof? and they just say "well... our calculations don't work unless we factor in this ambiguous **** called dark matter that we can't see or detect, but we know it's there cause otherwise all our models of reality are wrong"

it's like hey buddy i don't want to hear about your math problems. kind of sounds to me like you need to get your stuff together and then come back to me when you get it all figured out ok? until then i don't want to hear any more of this dark matter nonsense.

learn to physics... i'm surprised it's not something you're into, it's fascinating. If I had the time and money I'd stay in college just to study it for fun.

well Titan isn't a planet because planets don't orbit planets, moons do
