Description: In this video clip, Michael Brown and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson disagree on whether the word "planet" has any useful meaning. I also add my thoughts at the end.

kurtilein3 ::: Favorites thats incredibly funny ^^ well, some words should be protected, like the word science. people like to claim that something is science while in reality it has nothing to do with science, and i oppose that, no matter who does it and why. in my oppinion pluto is not a planet, its a rock. 07-08-21 11:09:51 __________________________________________________
RobAlone ::: Favorites I hear ya. Vernacular. A friend and I were discussing Pluto's demotion a couple of weeks back. We came up with this: Planet=wanderer. Therefore any thing larger and with greater mean radial velocity relative to the Earth, than Pluto; might be a decent enough description of a 'planet'. It would rule out Xena (or whatever it's called). 07-08-21 02:54:26 __________________________________________________
