Pluto: No Longer the Ninth Planet

[Mr41Met]

0:55 OMG ITS BILL NY THE SCIENCE GUY

[BlinkMessi182]

i hope he is fine in the univer and i hope he is back

[JohnnyGerhart]

Funny and informative. I like your humor, dude! Hilarious !

[aznmaplemaster]

facts don't mean shit when you don't do anything with it, stop spewing crap

[aznmaplemaster]

fail proj

[DaMatta11]

I realize now like Pluto I'm a dwarf too, I orbit around the sun (along with earth), i'm almost a round object (I eat a lot at mackdonald's) and I have little influence on the way i'm going (I mostly suffer from others infuence).

[Edgemont5]

Dear Nasa, Your mom says I'm big enough.

Sincerely, Pluto

[TheWofye]

whatever they say in my mind, pluto is still an extremely important part of history! whats wrong with people? a definition shouldnt rid pluto of diagrams and stuff! it has historical value and mythological value!! whats wrong with people???!

[Akeroh626]

I don't understand why people are so dead set on pluto being a planet. Oh sure, you all grew up calling it that, but you do realize that it isn't and should never have been classified as a planet... I don't understand why the classification of a dead rock matters SO MUCH to people, enough so that they make themselves look stupid insisting that it is. It's looking at a molehill and calling it a mountain and then insisting that it's still a mountain because that's the way they grew up.

[DaMatta11]

@Akeroh626 From my 6 years old i knew Pluto is not a planet, he is Mickey's pet, a crazy dog you fools..!

[TheJedi270]

Plutotians look through a microscope and say earth is not a planet it does not fit the three rules. 1: inhabitants that don't get along. 2: must have more land than water

3: because us plutotian scientists believe we are the only people smart enough to name God's creations.

[ajmurder]

im sorry but ive been growing up my entire life as pluto being a planet, as far as i'm concerned pluto is still a planet and will always be a planet

[SuperMagnetizer]

PLANET Pluto has 4 moons.  Duh.

[MillyPebbles]

I Grew Up Knowing Pluto Was A Planet , So It's ALWAYS Gonna Be A Planet ! Stupid People I Swear ! First Pluto Stopped Being A Planet Now A Tomato Is A Fruit . . . . STOP TRYING TO CHANGE STUFF !

[DaMatta11]

@MillyPebbles A tomato is not a fruit?

[MillyPebbles]

@DaMatta11 Well DURFF !

If A Tomato Is A Fruit Then So Is Every Other Vegetable Because They All Have Seeds !

[TheBrandi67]

Wtf!? o_o lame, boring, wtf, jerk, awkward, wth ( made up. wth is what the hell ) and, a waste of time. jerk is those kids in the brackground, oh whatever. main message was that this wasnt my fave vid. but good job. u got a like for ur humor. :D

[wengneuda13]

WE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE PLUTO! >:) THE HUMANS THAT BELIEVE PLUTO IS A DWARF PLANET IS PLANET KILLER >;O THEY DESTROY THE PLUTO

[wengneuda13]

Dear Pluto for me you are a planet in fact you are snaller than 6 moons of the solar system but dont worry we will save you agaisnt the humans that believe you are dwarf we will never destroy you we will save you by making you a planet :') dont cry now pluto smile pluto Love . Weng Neuda

[wengneuda13]

Pluto is just smaller than the 6 moons of solar system but it wiuld be planet but my mom saids PLUTO IS DEAD IT WAS COLLIDED BY A HUGE COMET BECAUSE ITS NO MORE PLANET T WILL BE PLANET SAVE PLANET PLUTO SAVE!!!

[999klondike]

Wonder if Pluto and Neptune could ever collide? Now that would be exciting.

[InODependanceSyndrom]

@999klondike

if it neptune does collide with pluto, neptunes (euhm plutos) name will be changed to neptuno.

[jfarinhote]

In fact Pluto is a planet, but a dwarf planet.

[matthewgroen]

Pluto and i are gonna talk about this issue, it's unacceptable

[Pr0pagandaFilms]

PLUTO IS A PLANET

[tackiee9]

i hate world , i wana go to pluto nd spend my lyf there all alone ! fuck this planet earth full of dumb pplz terrorist, politicians, royality, poverty,war etc .

[fireblaze82]

@tackiee9 you can't go on pluto. its to cold to live there.here's pluto's tempature: -260 degrees! you will die because you will be an icecube

[tackiee9]

@fireblaze82 mmMm okay den i'm going 2 neptune :p

[WWEFREAK372]

OMG PLanet X is the ninth planet instead of Pluto, BYE BYE

[sinsy104]

ploto could the magnito that keeps theplanetary system in motion ..!

[veronica75627]

hahaha the spartans (:

[ryanspeed]

This is so damn stupid and a prime example of how some folks with all the education in the world don't even have walking around sense! Pluto has been and will always be a planet in my mind!

I think we should either by way of congress, national campaign, signatures or whatever means necessary start a movement to call Pluto a planet again! Screw those idiots who say Pluto isn't a planet...it's a planet to me and always will be, you over-educated assholes!

[wengneuda13]

bye bye my favorite baby planet D':

[Weegee7889]

IS A MOON! PLUTO IS TEH 2ND FREKKIN MOON!

[daywalker48603]

LOL!  Nice presentation! You got a real future at this!

[star4evr9]

I will always believe Pluto is a planet. It's like saying a toy poodle isn't a dog because it's too small! LOL I love Pluto. It's been the ninth planet all my life! I bet they change this again in a few years!

[benaharris]

@Julesoogle pure bullshit fuk you

see benaharris to see pluto

[m14closerangeSniper]

save pluto!

[MrVagineer]

pluto is a planet

[DragoSonicMile]

wow...You got an A on this? Congratulations! (3 years late but still) Yeah, scenes from 300 are attractive to viewers. (I don't know why.)

[RapperEater303]

I wish i had a teacher like u when i was in high school haha

[redda100]

I'm no astronomer. I'm a poker player. But let me tell you, if the die hards want to continue a bluff and protect a weak hand and put me all in! I say good luck "PLUTO", sorry LOL, it's just not your night.

[redda100]

@redda100 Lets be a little more difinitive in our clarifications. A dwarf in human terms is (to my understanding) a small human. A dwarf is not a fish or a dog or an elephant or a shark (a poker player). So by definition are we still calling Pluto planet (dwarf) or a lump of rock hurtling through space, perhaps one day biting us on the ASS and creating the next ice age?

Planet or Rock?

You decide.

[ZombiesAteMyKat]

@redda100 No dwarf doesn't just define small humans.You an have dwarves of anything. Taken from a dictionary –adjective

5. of unusually small stature or size; diminutive.

[wacher8]

Did this guy get a A+ or what.

[stephenmctowley]

god knows i was too, thought it would be a comet now i know, thanks and thank you you tube

[irondaddymac]

i was laughing my ass off... very informative thanks

[snogot]

man you speak as you where bored,just dont do it then.

and this with the "300" what does 300 have to do with pluto?

man go to sleep and never post a video again

[325anime]

Thanks man, that was very useful info.

[MooseEatsBear]

In my mind, Pluto will ALWAYS be a planet.

[bandet888]

@MooseEatsBear I'm also sad Pluto is no longer a planet but if you consider Pluto a planet you have to consider hundreds of more objects as planets. The IAU did correctly classify Pluto as being like Sedna, Quaoar, Eris, Makemake, etc.. than like a planet such as Jupiter and Earth. The real problem is that we were tought the solar system had 9 planets. If we were tought that it has 8 planets from the start I don't think we would have a problem. Pluto hasn't gone anywhere it's still there.

[stephenmctowley]

when we were tought pluto was a major planet

[6Cozmik9]

@MooseEatsBear even tho the astronomers are moving back to pluto again stupid mindless of them?? to me if pluto is in the solar system then is planet....and who ever said on world wide that pluto is a dwarf planet is a biggest dwarf moron ever even trillion of years from know

[fireblaze82]

@MooseEatsBear right on!Actually,you cannot change a planet to a dwarve planet.if its a planet,its a planet!

[FATUGLYPRICK]

@MooseEatsBear

Same...A planet is a plant, even if if's been renamed as a dwarf planet.

[HallmarkJD]

@MooseEatsBear Your mind is thicker than cement.

[MooseEatsBear]

@HallmarkJD It was a joke. I understand the reclassification of certain celestial objects as Dwarf planets.

[paradise375]

Pluto is a Dwarf Planet

[stevenc08]

at first i thought this was gonna be shitty. but it turned out to be funny and i learned shit.

[DanikaK2]

As I know Pluto is not Solar System planet anymore but I absolutely disagree with it. Pluto must be counted no matter how small it is. Moreover, I think Planet X (10th planet) exists

[stephenmctowley]

there are lots of minor planets do proper reserach and you would know that one passed through the sky at start of feb you could see binoculars if you know where to look check out bbc sky at night

[Arceus90009]

thx man i had 2 rite a 20 PAGE SUMMARY ON PLUTO JUST CUZ THE WUZ PISSED I DONT EVEN NO Y X(

[DaddyEnglish]

Fuuuk this shit!!....wait, i cant remember y am here..somethin about blowin up pluto i guess??..but eh w/e

[8320884]

hahahaha theres actually a new horizons retirement home around where i live.

[DinaKiwiGirl]

thanks for posting this, it´s a cool and funny way to explain things. very easy to follow.

sexy voice, btw

[kimberlyaallard]

See below post....

The Kuiper Belt was not discovered until 1992, and it was its discovery and discovery of even larger objects than Pluto that made astronomers rethink the classification system. It has other features (already stated in another post) about it that don't quite fit with the rest of the planets either. I like Pluto too, but just because I grew up thinking of it as a planet, doesn't mean that I am going to insist that it is. Don't be so adverse to change!

[kimberlyaallard]

Most of the people who argue that Pluto should again be reclassified as a planet again just don't like dealing with change. It is a misconception that Pluto was reclassified because of its size. It was reclassified because new objects were discovered that resembled it more closely than the Pluto resembles other planets. It is does not have the same composition as either the terrestrial planets or the gas giants. It is made of ice and dust, just like the other Kuiper Belt objects and comets.

[PhilosopherEight]

The discovery of new objects/phenomena is no basis for reclassifying old ones.  Your argument is fallacious. Why not classify these Kuiper Belt objects as planets? Would that not be more reasonable? Why do we have to stop at a single digit number of planets? What is wrong with 40 of them?

There is no clearly defined dividing line between planetary characteristics and non-planetary characteristics. Tell us the precise specification of the rules.

You have none. Not scientific.

[PhilosopherEight]

>> also, saying that any opposing opinion must come from blind resistance to change is rather arrogant. You need to acknowledge that there are logically valid opinions which conflict with yours, and that your position is not in any way assured or ironclad at all.

If you would ever drop this arrogance and actually examine your position, you would find it more lacking than you now suspect. But it is the very arrogance of academia that keeps you, ironically, from ever learning.

[PhilosopherEight]

>>> also, this attitude of being more 'open to change' is exactly the attitude required in Oceania, where all kinds of 'new' facts must be cheerfully embraced from on high. What about our dedication to the truth? Surely, if you are in any way a scientist, you must see that we must cling to truth even when consensus tells us otherwise. Else what have we got? Science is only the whore of the state/church, telling us the approved 'facts' to believe?

You do not comprehend what you are doing.

[PhilosopherEight]

I find it distressing that nobody here among the supposedly scientific-minded can provide for us the actual protocol for deciding what is or is not a planet.

We hear 'Pluto is too small', but so is Mercury. At least Pluto has a moon, while Mercury has none. Is not Mercury a 'dwark planet' then? Why is distance such an essential defining factor? How will we apply arbitrary guidelines that might make some sense in our solar system to classification of planets in other solar systems?

[PhilosopherEight]

>> additionally, how far away from the sun is 'too far'? how will we apply this dubious yardstick to other planets orbiting other stars? How far away from them is too far?

I see an Orwellian Gambit here. Powers are attempting to see if they can Rewrite Reality EVEN AMONG THE SCIENTISTS to see if we will accept these changes or not. For if they can rewrite reality even among Reality's Ministers (scientists) then they hold absolute power over everybody.

I object to this insidious change.

[Marwango]

m impressed even here in harvard i dont c projects that interest me that much. good job

[MiKeMaLiCe666]

best....project.....EVA!!!

[schusterlehrling]

Pluto is a KBO.

There are hundreds of KBO's.

A whale is not a fish, though it looks like a fish and swims in the ocean.

Pluto is no planet, though he looks like a planet and orbits the sun.

But so do comets and asteroids and many other objects.

To call him a planet means to put him into a Procurstres bed.

It is just not the truth that he is a planet.

Do him justice and stop callinmg him names.

[PhilosopherEight]

Pluto is a planet. A planet is determined not by its size, or distance, or eccentricity, or inclination to the ecliptic, or any other nonsense. A planet is a planet because it is:

1) An object massive enough to hold itself into a mostly spheroid shape

2) that orbits the sun

3) and which is itself a major gravity focus where satellite(s) massive enough to be spheroids orbit

That is a planet, so pluto is a planet.

There is more cause to say Mercury is not a planet than Pluto.

[PhilosopherEight]

>> it is fundamentally unscientific to classify mercury as a planet and pluto as something else. There are no classification rules that permit this, unless distance from the sun is paramount. How is this means of classification going to work when we discover hundreds of other planets orbiting massive stars? How close is close enought ot be a planet?

This system makes no scientific sense at all, & is suspiciously orwellian.

[zzzsonic]

lol stop it EXACTLY at 1:40 LOL itz gone duuuh

[3ivan]

WTF they did to Pluto???

[guttersnipephil]

nothing??? technology has helped us have a more understanding of the solar system. thats all

[mobby32]

ya you culd bring up a law suit angainst that

[PhilosopherEight]

Totally

[PONJOnco]

I wonder what will happen if Pluto hit Neptune...

[kimberlyaallard]

Pluto will not hit Neptune because its orbit is tilted.

[putinblood]

Impressive!!!!

[SOH805]

all teachers are dumb

[Shon117]

Pluto is a moon

[guttersnipephil]

man you need educating big time

[kimberlyaallard]

I think this comment was referring to the theory that Pluto was once another planet's moon (most likely Neptune's). This is only one theory of many.

[Diamondhead43]

lol, thanks! ( Cool AND funny!! )

[PhilosopherEight]

Pluto IS a planet because it orbits the sun and has a moon. Any body which orbits the sun and has moons is a planet.

duh...

What is the agenda of those who say Pluto is not a planet? Why redefine terms in this way since it dies nothing to clarify anything? Asteroids are not planets because they have no moons & are not clearly large like Venus. But as soon as one of these rocks becomes the focus of other bodies who orbit it, it MUST be a planet. This is a hierarchical point of clarity

[Laddre]

it is just to many they have found "planets" that are bigger then pluto. there is even one that is between mars and neptune. we cant learn thousands of smal rocks so we just take the larger

[mobby32]

it does not orbit it like the other planets there are also many other small dwarf planets like pluto that orbit the sun so add all of those. and also is every comet that orbits a planet a moon?

[PhilosopherEight]

pluto does orbit the sun

[mobby32]

ya ok but the orbit is so fricked up if you watched the vid you would know and theres tons of small things like pluto and one bigger one thats twice asd large as pluto so make all those planets to?

[PhilosopherEight]

Orbital eccentricity or inclination don't matter.  Size dont matter, except that the planet needs to be big enough to have a spheroid moon.

Think of it as a Gravity Hierarchy. First in our system is the Sun. Next, other bodies that orbit the sun and have moon(s) are then next step in the Gravity Hierarchy. These should all be planets, even if there are hundreds of them.

Surely, astronomers can either remember or look up all these names. Having too many for lay ppl doesn't matter.

[mobby32]

yes exactly so many other dwarf planets out there orbit the sun that are bigger than pluto but dont count as planets

[PhilosopherEight]

They should be Planets too

[mobby32]

ya why not and so should moons

[PhilosopherEight]

No, Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit the sun.

[guttersnipephil]

why should they?

[PhilosopherEight]

I already explained this.

A taxonomic hierarchy such as used in biology is appropriate here. Those objects which orbit the sun & have a spheroid object orbiting them are planets because that is the location of PLANET in the gravity hierarchy of a solar system.

The size, eccentricity, origin, inclination, & distance an object is away from the sun has no meaningful bearing on whether an object is a planet or not. These data don't clarify the issue, they confuse it, for gravity is paramount

[TNTJahv1er]

Fucking EPIC!!!

Thank you Very Much

[ariesse21]

i think pluto fell already years ago i think jupite'rs next

[54spiritedwill54]

Really cool. :)

[angietheboo]

its because its too small.

[chibiseiya32]

XD this video is so funny. I didnt learn anything but i ty becuz i was crying (private) and I wanted to learn bout pluto WHILE i was crying n u put a smile on my face again. :] ty

[venalx3]

No,the planet is not considered as a planet because it is too small because the planet was discovered in 1930(I knew that) and in 2006,the extramicle unien camed up with a specific viteria that a planet must have to be considered as a "Planet".Now pluto is a dorth planet.

[edgar5859]

lol, this is a pretty cool project u did thar. nice job A+

[andyruffa21]

im in six grade and where studing about it. i think that it is no longer a planet becuse it is too small???

[solarsystemKND]

im in astronomer college and they r saying it is not a planet. it IS a planet

[solarsystemKND]

lol pluto is a baby planet even it is 4.7 billion years old 0=)

[peaceloveski247]

lol

[0608126]

this has win written all over it

[mcdade10]

Get a better commentator. This has to be one of the worse voiced docu ever. This guy has no idea, He's so self conscious it's pathetic.

[Nightmare441]

This science is too deep,but at least I know a little.Pluto is still a planet

[UFailedAgain]

no pluto isn't a planet anymore, he's a dwarf planet now.

[olveidah]

is the sword man named Pluto? ;]

[white4rap]

next time put ur mic up ur ass or plane B farther from ur mouth 1/5

[jdawgsworld]

pluto will always my planet...was this really a class project...what grade

[heimlich1017]

though i cannot understand exactly what you're trying to say, jdawgsworld, pluto is not a planet. we've gathered sufficient evidence to say that we were wrong and we need to advance in science, not just say "pluto will always be a planet to me"

[jdawgsworld]

cool...still think the video's cool...

[ballproductions]

duh

[wayne8001123]

I it said that "300" is a scientifically inaccurate movie.

[vikki10]

pluto is still a planet damnit >=[

[JordanProtocell]

I wonder how this was graded by the teacher?

[jbirt07]

Actually, I recieved an A, followed by a request to show the video to all the other classes my teacher had.

[colinmaharaj]

@jbirt07

Hey man, I before E except after C, what you think you are - 'weird'?

:)

[speedyj112]

lol!!!

[DamianaRaven]

0:09 cute! And the song! It must be longer!!!

[lilmamalovesu2]

lol!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!

[Cry55i5]

this is fuckin hilarious lmao i laff the whole entire time lmao your funny man do a nother one

[Blaze6181]

you're typing like a little boy who doesn't know what he's talking about. your grammar is pretty horrible too.

[blackbtk]

Stop chattin about your life story you loner!

That was funny though!

[apogalypse]

why i you guys bordad if pluto is planet oh not why schoud sombody be angry by her.its not the end of the world you guys are the biggest freks i ever saw

[KittyHippy]

Lol Awesome X3

[letsblaze13]

sick project

[robertrosca]

when Nibiru(also known as Planet X, also known as Xena(wtf 2 meny names???!!!??)) comes into orbit it's gona b 9 planets, and then 8 again, pl0x it circles 2 suns lol...ours and some ded dwarf sun...pl0x confuzin!!

watch my videoes to find out more.

[letsg047]

did your teach care that you were saying wtf and i suck and what the hell?

[letsg047]

i had a dream last night were are planet was getting burned so we all took spacecrafts to pluto......and then we died.

[leeeproductions]

waittttt whos weeeee? haha

[letsg047]

lol everybody on Earth. and I saw u there too. lol

[leeeproductions]

haha you dont even know me

??!??

[letsg047]

how do you know?

[leeeproductions]

CUZ OUR SOMEONE ONNN YOUTUBE. AND YOU COULD BE FROM LIKE ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!! hahaaa.

dont reply. :D

[letsg047]

aww y not? crap!!! i replied!

[ellebeem]

ROFL .. My teacher would kinda be mad if i

actully say the eff word but wtf is fyne ..

i told all ym freinds too look at this and its on my faves YHU ARE SO FKING HILARIOUS! liek this is the best presentation ever <;

[ptownmotowndj]

Thanks for posting this VERy informative and VERy hilarious presentations. Thoroughly enjoyable!

[obpinkslip]

This has to be the best presentation I have ever seen. Somehow the added things don't take away from the information and only adds to the funny.

[Shriveledblade]

ummm... coolio?

[Asasscreed122]

wwa was the song in the begining

[Covjece30]

WTF?!

[A1PanzerFreak]

The idea comes through, but what the fuck is up with all that random junk thrown in there?

[BlueberryhillCB]

thanks, we like Pluto and Mars

[pacothetaco556]

great presentation, funny as hell, I'd give you an A.

I enjoyed the random WTF's, and the I SUCK on Einsteins chalkboard.

[Surtur]

Haha nice I heard BTBAM, Horse the Band, and Into the Moat all in there, good music taste if nothing else.

[k99y77]

the new horizone will be in pluto in 2015 i will be 19 years old

[cannonsfade]

what's that badass song that comes on during the 300 scene

[jbirt07]

into the moat - century II

[12alex14]

GO TO HELL

[acidfrog01]

...very interesting!

[FaceMob500]

That was sweet, i woulda been a straight A student if my teachers woulda taught like this, sweet dude

[saglek]

nicely composed... though I am not much of one for the 300 scenes. I guess I will go out now and look for traces of a pluto wannabe which is now just space dust... out of Perseus.

[llVIU]

Really cool. :)

[haloboz]

If only teachers would teach this way. I actually learned something!

[JediKiller18]

LOL! This made my day! 5 stars!

[curellasays]

what better way to learn! :-) that was good x

[ambitionsofphoenix]

LOL THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
