When we no longer have the luxury of bickering about whether or not Pluto is a planet, I’ll start to worry about the imminent collapse of our civilization.

It’s not a planet, clearly. Just goes to show you how many morons there are in the astronomical community.
Not just the astronomical community. If you haven’t read “A Brief History of Nearly Everything” by Bill Bryson, I totally recommend it. It’s an awesome general tour of contemporary science, but also goes into the history of the sciences, focusing on the bizarre personalities, cockamamie beliefs and incredibly petty, vicious lifelong feuds of famous scientists in a really fun gossipy way.
Yes, well considering the post was about ASTRONOMY, how silly of me to mention that particular discipline! Maybe next time you make a post about oil prices, I can tell you to read an awesome book about 18th century American politics, because it’s sooooo the same thing!
alec lol what a d-bag
