Paula Apsell interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson about his new book, The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America’s Favorite Planet, and about his work in astrophysics.
@Ozzrya91 It isn’t what Pluto did. It’s what Eris did. When Asorphysists found out there could be another dozen planets they would have to learn about to once again be concidered experts on the planets they decided that the third class of planets wouldn’t be planets at all. The definition they came up with for planet is idiotic. “clear the path of its orbit”? So if an asteroid came and sat in Earths orbit, Earth would stop being a planet? What about rogue planets? They don’t even have an orbit.
Pluto is victim of it’s own circumstances. When new data comes to light, sometimes it changes how we look at something, and sometimes the results are unsettling. Just like the results of Ozzy’s new music are also unsettling (Ozzy without Zakk is just too much pain for me to handle)…
mr tyson has an infectous way of capturing you as a audience.i hadnever heard or come across him before he done a lecture with my fellow country man mr dawkins on science edjucation.thumbs up.

i promise if the government stops stealing a portion of my wages, i will give most of that portion to what he is working on.

Wait. It shouldn’t be the entropy of ignorance…
Ignorance is growing..not failing isn’t it?
An ‘Entropy of Ignorance’ would be a good thing…because..well…ignorance is failing…and enlightenment is growing?
