Theres a lot of new planet discovered but the big problem is how can we go there. We dont have the equipment that can travel extremely fast.


They are still working on why the EmDrive is even possible. Once they do, and making them as cheap as a Vespa, the cosmos will shrink overnight...



Not really.  It's still a 20 year trip to nearby stars, and when the guys return home, 500 years or so will have passed.  EM doesn't solve the speed of light limit.

What we need to do is link into those galactic routers, and maybe trade beer recipes for warp drive formulas.


The EmDrive doesn't violate any laws and you will get older if you return home. The same amazing progress in propulsion is happening in life extension science. That is why I said once the engine is as compact cheap and plentiful as a vespa, living, 500 years would be normal. If you live 80 years, the cosmos is vast. If you live 10000 years and you can reach the nearest star in 20, then the cosmos would have shrunk.

Here is how splendulus  "science" works. Could it explains that most of his opinions smell like shit?  Grin

Oh and I know it's hard to imagine but not all French are parisian  Roll Eyes

May be but only a Parisian faux intellectual could even dream of the word...

"Plutoid."

Oh another non argument. Seems like you got only that kind of reasoning though ; )
What, can't take a joke?

Think about it.  There isn't even any "science" to naming stuff.  That's what the IAU does.

And Plutoid are just a sub category of dwarf planets! What do you find so disturbing about it?

Lol, I am just having fun ribbing you about it because it is so Parisian.

Pluto is not a planet simply because there are at least 4 other bodies rather identical to it just next to Pluto.  If Pluto is a planet then so are they...
No, they're not, because Pluto is priveliged.

And why is it privileged? Because we discovered it first? That's how you do science? XD

Yep.

Sure, why not?

And it's a Plutoid.  And don't claim you don't know we are talking Paris here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutoid

BELIEVE whatever you want I didn't know it. And again it doesn't matter because the definition was made by an international consortium, not by Paris scientists.

Why not? Are you totally dumb or do you willingly say stupid things? Well maybe because that's not how science work.. you can't say "okay this object doesn't fit the definition but we're going to call that a planet because you know I like the guy who discovered it so let's give it the planet title even if it doesn't suit the definition we made"

Not really surprising you find yourself so good at understanding things if you don't care about definitions xD
Might explain why you're always saying shit though ^^

If the universe is made out of the same stuff everywhere and nature hates to waste energy to build new stuff, could the humanoid shape be the most logical path for an intelligent life form ready for space exploration?


NO.  Because as we all know, our big brains stem from the fact we have opposing thumbs and fingers.

That is, unless you choose to be a Denier of these established scientific factoids.  Just as the grand planet Pluto is now only a Plutoid, by virtue of a consensus of scientific opinion, you must bow down to factoids such as the thumb and finger oppositional premise of the big brain theory, and ignore contrary evidence such as the infinite number of gradations of stupidity.  Those only confirm the hypothesis, as creatures which were more stupid would have fewer possible levels of stupidity.  Thus in the case of Hillary, it's "Bill or No Bill?" asked from one side of the bed to Huma, on the other side.

Now, if the oppositional thumb merits discussion, we have to acknowledge that beings, creatures or slimeballs with a plethora of said oppositional apparatus would be greater in intelligence as follows.

n = number of oppositional thumb/finger pairs
t = time
c = clusterfuck factor
bb = degree to which brain is high or low density in bricklike nature
F = unknown factor, plugged into make the results agree with pre determined intent

Smartness = n^(t*(-c + -bb + F)

Obviously...

LOL,  everytime I read one of your post I discover a new way to see things in an absurd and far too simplified way.

So you don't agree on the fact that Pluto is not a planet? Tell us how you know things better than all scientists. After proving how you're better than any meteorologist and climatologists I bet you're ready to show us how good of an astronaum you are xD

Spendulus, the great scientist!
Ah.....

I SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED...

A strong defense of the decision that Pluto is only a "PLutoid object," since the IAU, which has the sole authority to name planets in it's own mind, is based in Paris, France, and you....

Fuck no I don't agree with this BS.  Hey, Pluto earned it's right to be a planet.  It's your French buddies who think they have the right to name things who are Plutoids.

Besides, "Plutoid" is dumber than a sack of bricks.

Well I didn't know it was based in Paris but it doesn't matter it's an international consortium. The decision to declassify it was made after an international consortium precised the definition of the word planet.
A planet: Astronomers of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) voted on and passed the first scientific definition of a planet in August 2006. According to this new definition, an object must meet three criteria in order to be classified as a planet. First, it must orbit the Sun. Second, it must be big enough for gravity to squash it into a round ball. And third, it must have cleared other objects out of the way in its orbital neighborhood.

It is not the case of Pluto
You want Pluto to be classified as a planet? As you wish, but then you would have not nine but around 51 planets. Because any object orbiting the sun and massive enough would be called a planet.

And by the way, it's not a Plutoid,  it's a dwarf planet.

Pluto may exhibit some characteristics not belonging to planets, but it exhibits some planetary characteristics, as well.

Within the last couple of years or so, Pluto has been reclassified as a planet by cosmologists. I don't follow their every move, but I don't believe it has been taken out of planet classification, again, recently. If it has, it would have had to have been done within the last 2 or 3 months.

Cool

Of course Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. Only American scientists say otherwise because Pluto was the only planet discovered by americans and they got really angry when the rest of the world wanted to declassify it xD

Whose "spaceship" did that Pluto flyby? Oh, yes. America's. Perhaps those photos of the planet Pluto were all fake. Looked like a planet to me.

Meh? I'm not saying they didn't take photos of Pluto.  But those photos aren't even part of the debate to know if yes or no its a planet. The debate is just: does Pluto answer every criteria of a planet definition.

Does earth? How can we tell? since the majority (if not all) of the other "planets" have no life on them. Cosmologists make up only a tiny percent of the people who live. Pluto is a planet.

 Cool

Wtf?
Here is the definition of a planet:
The issue of a clear definition for planet came to a head in January 2005 with the discovery of the trans-Neptunian object Eris, a body more massive than the smallest then-accepted planet, Pluto. In its August 2006 response, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), recognised by astronomers as the world body responsible for resolving issues of nomenclature, released its decision on the matter during a meeting in Prague in the Czech republic. This definition, which applies only to the Solar System, states that a planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, and has "cleared its neighbourhood" of smaller objects around its orbit. Under this new definition, Pluto and the other trans-Neptunian objects do not qualify as planets. The IAU's decision has not resolved all controversies, and while many scientists have accepted the definition, some in the astronomical community have rejected it outright.

Pluto is not a planet simply because there are at least 4 other bodies rather identical to it just next to Pluto.  If Pluto is a planet then so are they...

Good point. There are many planets out there that are not recognized as such. Ceres is a planet, not an asteroid. But think of all the textbooks that will have to be rewritten.

I understand that not all of the 1200 new planets may not be all planets after all... Because some of them were discovered by Americans...

 Smiley



No but maybe because some of them doesn't suit all criteria of the definition of the word planet.
