It's semantics.
pluto could very well be a planet without adding the other three. It is in my book. why? well, the simple fact that it is nessicary to define what a planet is makes it purely semantics. There is no arguement over the tempurature water boils, becuase something happens. what's the mass at which a solar object becomes a planet? there is no set point. What they have defined is a simple set of rules, like, about how to tell if water is scalding. it's all semantics. there is no scientific reason pluto should not be a planet- planets don't have any greater effect on the solar system than other things, per mass. two weeks ago, they defined all the "dwarf planets" as full planets. why? it's semantics. there is no "where do you draw the line". Don't draw a line. admit or reject planets individually. no line is needed. stop seeking one. |
