      I mean, as I understand it, that’s pretty much what happened: it came time to define what a planet is, and the goal was to make a sensible definition that wouldn’t change existing terminology too much. So if it’s removing Pluto from planets or adding a whole bunch more planets, removing Pluto is the least terrible option

      you do realize that Pluto and all the other dwarf to asteroids are smaller than the moon. Pluto's gravity is around 0.62 m/s^2 while the moons gravity is around 1.62 m/s^2 and just to get an idea of how small that is earth is 9.81m/s^2

Another saw a ship leave our atmosphere and shoot through a green circle and go through a gold explosion and disappear and more. But even ignoring that there was water on Mars so two planets had life and so did Venus so make that 3 planets. But yet no life anywhere else. So yea. It's an arrogant thought.

    As a person who is not actively working for CERN but has in the past. You can get a guided tour into the area where the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is. Unfortunately you can't, to my knowledge, put anything into the pipes the size of poop. It's a pretty airtight vacuum in there. About as vacuum as we can make vacuums.
    Also it's one sometimes, so don't go in when it's on or you'll die of radiation poisoning :)

    Re: Pluto, I still agree with the IAU definition because we do very much teach about dwarf planets which very much lines up with what they said of "1000 planets but also the big 8". Yes the neighborhood argument is shoddy since any day we may find two extrasolar planets in the same orbit but when you look at the solar system, you can't lump planets like Jupiter, Uranus or Venus in the same group as, like, twelve near-identical lumps of ice in the Kuiper belt

      No he didn't: the problem remains tensile strength. Parts of the cable are being help up because they are suborbital. Earth's gravity and rotation means no material can hold such a cable together.
      Using the moon as shown makes it MUCH worse because there is a lot more cable with a suborbital period (which therefore must be held up be the cable)

    Every new IH video that comes out always fills me with such a mix of absolute joy, and complete depression, because I know that the video is guaranteed to be incredibly entertaining and funny, yet completely depressing because it's going to end before I know it and will have to wait months for a new one.
    (I'm not complaining about the wait time, the wait time is what gives these videos their quality content)

      One of my favorite tv moments was an episode of Exo Squad.
      The communications guy was on a mission. The heavy weapons guy was subbing in his suit.
      It wouldn't cooperate.
      The AI is giving him shit.
      He says something like " Oh yeah" squint and concentrates.
      You see a little electricity run down the neural link into the machine.
      It replies with " This Exo Suit is not physically capable of completing that request."
      I'm like 14 or 15. I realized that he had told it to go fuck itself.
      Subtle, but solid, joke.

    I used to work at CERN. While the LHC is not running you may be able to book tours to the detectors. (Those are the places where the particle streams colide)
    If you go to Geneva some time you should try and visit. It is one crazy impressive piece of equipment.
    They are running a lot of interesting experiments.
