Geographics Pluto is not a planet !!!!!! (Jerry Smith, 2019)😏

Yes, Business Blaze rocks, for those who don't know.

Some one should tell KZfaq. Copyright infringement!

Never knew I needed this much Simon until now

The Blaze is where it's at. Found myself waiting on Sam to add a meme every time I heard Uranus mentioned.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahha actually laughing my head off

Lolz.

Dear Pluto, F*ck you. I was a planet 130 years before you were discovered and they demoted me to a freakin' asteroid, but you don't see me being a whiny little b*tch about it. Sincerely, Ceres (The Dwarf Planet formerly known as Asteroid #1)

Darn right! 👍

Holy balls, Sempai noticed me!

11 3 19 Hey@@tgdm, How cool that your name is on New Horizons-VERY! Lucky you, fun story. Thanks for sharing. Be well. v

P.S.I made some fun Christmas ornaments from a photo of the Sun as seen on Pluto. It's a breathtaking photo. v

I'm glad you shared this memorable recollection... You are special. Never forget that.

Way cool. I just had a star named for my grandson who’s into all things space lol. I did the same for his father when he was little. When you look into the night sky there’s one small patch that is special to me. In that one area of the sky you will find all the stars named after members of my family. It makes looking up into the heavens on a cool evening a little more special.

MarxNutz My very educated mother concurs!

I mean, it's probably small enough to be

yep... I grew up with it as a planet. My mind can't be changed either.

Facts don't care about feelings. Pluto is not a planet according to people WHO KNOWS WAY EVEN MORE THAN YOU, ASTRONOMISTS. XD

It's a matter of perspective really.

love the writing

Well that is a good reason

Lowle is kil. No.

Joshua Graham Probably the Loominarty

*THUD*

Hysterical. LMAO!!!

Yup. I remember planet Xena. Curiously I completely missed the part where they renamed it to Eris so I was confused for a while for not hearing anything about planet Xena in a long time lol.

Especially the unforgettable; "The discovery of Uranus."

„It was the dawn of the 19 Century, and the astronomical world was still reeling from William Hershel‘s discovery of Uranus twenty years earlier.“should be a speech function on the Mars Rover😂😂

What does the Starship Enterprise have in common with toilet paper? They both circle Uranus and wipe out Klingons.

I think you mean 'planet'

It really does matter though, classifications matter. Not being a planet doesnt stop a body being interesting however.

Comets, asteroids, exoplanets, stars, moons, ect. ect. ... My point is/was: A group of scientists voting to change the definition of what a "planet" is not something a scientist is supposed to do. A true scientist looks at things and classifies it based on the category it fits in, they don't change the category to fit their findings How it went - "Oh, hey, Pluto is really small. Let's say it's not a planet anymore" How it should have went - "Oh, hey, Pluto is really small. That means planets don't have a size requirement" Categorizing Pluto as anything but a planet is basically scientist creating a Dogma and that is wrong for any scientist to do.

So, are. Esta, makemake, ceres etc. all planets, too?

Jason Saige the problem with that logic is that it’s not how it went. Pluto was denied planethood for multiple reasons, including its inability to clear its own orbit, its likely origin as a KBO, and its size, which is not only less than the moon, but also closely rivaled by its own satellite, Charon. Pluto’s controversy was what prompted the creation of more strict requirements for planethood, though as the video explains, it wasn’t the first false alarm, as Ceres is a pretty decently sized planetesimal, which, well... the video explains enough about the asteroid belt’s discovery.

He’s an arrogant prick is what he is lol. He acts like anything he thinks up must be true since he’s super smart oh and man does he spend a lot of time telling you how smart he is.

@@prepperjonpnw6482 Not his fault you don't know how science works.

Neil Degrasse Tyson is science’s Chuck Norris. We need more like that...

@@prepperjonpnw6482 all of the "greats" has an air of arrogance in them. It comes with the territory.

@@prepperjonpnw6482 I agree Degrasse is an ass

exactly. Like CPG Grey said once "when a state becomes a state, it can never become not a state", and I think that that rule should aplly to Pluto.

“Pluto’s fckng planet, bitch” - King Flippy Nips

A Star Trek novel wrote that even in the 2380s, Pluto still bounces back and forth depending on the experts (at least until the Borg ate Pluto and its moons).

@@FewVidsJustComments Uh no. Because a state is you know... a government. This is an argument of definitions, ones that include Pluto as a planet are just way too broad.

It’s never stopped being a planet. Like they don’t control the laws of physics. Plus most Astronomers didn’t even vote on it. Less than 5% of Astronomers even voted. It was 237 vs 157. So not even 3% of all Astronomers voted in favor lol. Voting on something doesn’t make it real. Pluto is a planet. Eris is also a planet. They just didn’t want to deal with the idea that Ceres is also a planet and found the easier way out. It was not very smart. It’s also not very smart to teach that stuff in schools or validate that vote.

Terrible!

my lord it even uses the same sound lol

@OneHairyGuy they stole the host too , wtf shite is this call the feds

@OneHairyGuy you absolute baffoon.

😂

That is RUDE! It is a "little person" planet, or an "oompah loompah".

It makes zero sense that "dwarf planet" *isn't* considered a class of planet. I mean, dwarf stars aren't considered something separate from stars, after all.

@@RedXlV if pluto is a dwarf planet it is being orbited by another dwarf planet that is bigger than itself. And our moon is bigger than pluto, making it another dwarf planet of sorts. And it's theorized our moon was created when another planet collided with earth, tearing a chunk away to make the moon. That planet may have been semi orbiting earth the way some astroids do. Space is vast and it's filled with a bunch of big ass rocks and ice balls. And methane balls and whatever other elements got thrown together after the big bang. That is to say we're just creatures trying to describe the universe the way we see it and there's no doubt we don't know enough and probably also try too hard to categorize everything. It's all rocks and shit man. They do interesting things cuz space and gravity and heat or lack thereof. But still just rocks. Europa is a good example of a moon that behaves more like a planet in some ways. We really did choose to define planets the way we have for simplicity's sake. But it's still oddly complicated. Big rock, slightly less big rock, smaller rocks, small rocks. Though if it were size ganymede would easily be a planet. That's why it's mass and orbit. The more we explode the universe the more I expect these classifications challenged. But they'll always be rocks and ice balls.

also it got its own club

The introduction of this video . . . Simon is describing Chicago.

You find it silly they realised that it was too broad to be useful and as such made it more specific?

@@shadenox8164 When none of their considerations had anything to do with whether the new definition is scientifically useful, yes.

Being classified as such does not make it so... Pluto was never a planet, it was merely missclassified.

@@ghostbuddy3106 It wasn't misclassified prior. They moved the goalposts in 2006 by creating the "dwarf planet" category.

@@aGuyNamedEr1c that changes nothing, pointless argument. Try again.

@Roger Dottin Ah, ontological semiotics. You should rethink that.

Im just excited to tell my kids the time weed was once illegal, that ya boi lived through the prohibition

Both an astrophysicist and a pioneering guitarist with an iconic rock band Dr May is an absolute legend.

Indeed! Dr Brian May is a very fascinating man in oh so many ways! Musical genius and astrophysicist which really isn’t the easiest field to study, I honestly don’t know how he even manages to find enough hours of the day for it all! He is still doing world tours with Queen+Adam after all (I’ve seen them twice, Poland in 2015 and here in Sweden in 2016, and yes, I’m a huge Queen fan!) along with being an avid wildlife advocate. So brilliant mind, amazing creativity and a kind heart would be my best way of describing Dr Brian May!

We need to get this guy and Greg Graffin together with two or so more icons whose careers bridge science genius and contemporary music, for the ultimate nerdy supergroup. Imagine THAT fundraiser for climate science lol

@@ItsAsparageese Unfortunately there’s too little actual science in “climate science” and anytime the narrative includes the phrase “settled science” it’s a clear indication that it’s politics and grift that are actually in play and not the pursuit of knowledge and truth.

I'll always remember that news article from not long ago titled "A massive object devastated Uranus a long time ago and it never fully recovered"

Johnny Shields I was wondering if I was only one who noticed that.

what would be a plaentary specific word for organic and inorganic substrate on the surface? similar to picking up a handfull of "Earth" we havent named the celestial bodies in ways that would make that utterance not akword because weve never known we might stand upon it like moon, "hey jim kick me that chunk of moonstone and dig your feet into that soft moon" because fracturing of moonstone is interesting

@@VincentGonzalezVeg "Falling back to the surface"

@@Johnny_Shields or "the ground"? I've always wondered, if aliens from Mars are Martian, would that make ones on Venus... Venician??

@Francis L'Heure It's Venetian. That's how we get the joke: "How do you make a Venetian blind? Poke him in the eyes."

Thank you. Glad you are enjoying it :)

Yeah, I think if it's got a moon, then that just about qualifies it as a planet.

SPL-316 I don’t remember even hearing about the New Horizons Probe until it actually reached close to Pluto. I’m 21. I was apparently 16 when I heard.

Man I was 22 when it finally hit Pluto 😂

I remember hearing about it in second grade, then flashing back to that moment when it finally passed Pluto back in 2015.

I was 12 when New Horizons was launched and 21 by the time it got to Pluto.

I was 3 when New Horizons launched and 12 when it got to Pluto.

I thought it was cute Lovecraft wrote Pluto into the "C'thulu Mythos" and then we wrote thr Mythos into the history of Pluto

Thank you for the Lovecraft quote! I was looking for this

Came to the comments to say this.

I came on here for the same. It's the curse of Massachusetts city names saying "to hell with phonetics"

Pretty sure that's a british name, you think he would have gotten that one right.

I thought he was saying Lao at first until I checked the subtitles, thought it was my ears giving me trouble haha

Lowell rhymes with bowl over here.

what do you think of Biodome 2 in Arizona?

How generous spirited of you. I’m sure it was going to keep Simon up at night worrying about incurring your wrath 🙄

Being from Boston, where Lowell is from, I cringed the entire video. Love this channel though nonetheless.

@LUCKYDUCKY 62 Boston

Nitrogen snow at that too.

Falls To the earth as in from Pluto's sky to Pluto's surface made of earth dirt rocks things like that. Not to the planet earth.

More that Pluto is so cold that Nitrogen freezes when falling from the sky.

was wondering if anyone caught that.

Thats the problem with English using the same words for multiple things. Earth - 3rd rock from the sun Earth - dirt

There are still 8 large objects in harmonic resonance with Earth in our orbit that Earth still hasn't cleared.

Colleen Forrest so we aren’t a planet either? Lol

@@prepperjonpnw6482 technically, no, not according to the astronomical definition. The planetary geologists say we are a planet, but include all the round moons as planets too.

@@colleenforrest7936 Exactly. It was very sloppy science that lead to that decision. More galling, if Pluto was in another solar system it would be considered a planet. Honestly Pluto is being downgraded not for what it is, but where it is.

@@glenchapman3899 Well... No it wouldn't. According to the IAU definition, a planet has to travel around "the sun". Not "a" sun, "the" sun. If it dosen't orbit our sun, it isn't a planet either. This will lead to trouble down the road.

So would relocating the whole of north korea though to be fair

Thank you :)

The Catholic Church has been at the forefront of science for centuries. It’s a proud tradition of the Church, in fact you could look up where the first observatory is, I think it’s at the Vatican or maybe the 2nd. Cheers mate

@@prepperjonpnw6482 Except where science conflicted with doctrine. Galileo could tell you all about it.
