This isn't actually about what you would think! And it's not in EoEo 'cause everyone needs alittle lightheartedness in a thread.
FROM OTHER THREAD!
PLUTO'S STILL A PLANET IN MY BOOK! Yeah I'm weird, I like to read my school books before school because they really do interest me. XD;
PLUTO IS FOREVER
ABSOLUTELY. I HATE THEM FOR DOING WHAT THEY DID.
Some astronomers have suggested that Pluto and Charon should be classified as merely two of the largest examples of a group of objexts orbiting in a swathe of the outer solar system known as the Kuiper belt. .. ..
.. .. This suggestion indicates how arbitrary our classification is of celestial objects. Nature in unified; we divide objects within it into discrete groups to help our understanding. Nevertheless, Pluto's official designation as a planet will most likely not change for historical reasons.
I just took out the part where it was telling me it'd ramble more about the Kuiper belt. xD
In terms of colleges (And even K thru 12), seeing as it costs so much for colleges and such to get these books in and colleges tend to try to be as money safe as normal, do you believe that schools will even bother with such changes?
I mean, money wise, I just spent 80$ on a book that is technically incorrect. And I believe that my neice, who is nine years old, still has Pluto classified as a planet in her current science books.
BASICALLY! When you're in school, would you rather have books with all the facts and current truths and pay somewhat more in taxes or book prices, or would you rather pay what you may pay now in taxes and pay less for books that are at this point completely out of date?
MORE OVER, DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH CHANGING ALL THE BOOKS BECAUSE SOMETHING SO COMMON SUCH AS PLUTO WAS CHANGED?
