Pluto - Now Just a Mass Consensus of Ice
or Disco Ball?
Pluto. It used to be a planet. It was
promoted as fact for 72 years. All this time, a group of scientists who have PHD's up their yin
yangs, had decided that
Pluto was a planet.
In the year 2006, due to continued debate and a
few new perspectives, it was determined to be just a piece of ice (or possibly a
disco ball).
How could this happen? They simply
took a vote. Pluto was voted out of our solar system by the
majority.
When we asked how such a mishap could occur in
determining whether Pluto was a planet, mass of ice, or disco ball, when using
what we previously though was an exact science, the scientist replied, "My
theory came out of those studied in Uranus".
Maybe they didn't
like that it was next to that contraversial planet (Uranus) which is the butt of
jokes, so they demoted
it?
Perplexed, we decided to ask a scientist to get the
"facts". Then we realized that wasn't the best way to figure it
out since scientists rarely agree on much of anything, and simply rely on
politics when it comes to perplexing issues.
