    Welcome to the Shard! You've arrived at the best place on the Internet, filled with the best people, the best desserts, and the best murderous animals! Here are a couple of tips to help you settle in to your new place as a cog in the Grand Apparatus that is the Shard: 1. Join S(anderson) E(limination). 2. Familiarize yourself with the most important forums: SE, Cosmere Q&A, and SE. 3. Tell us which books you have and haven't read (this helps us avoid spoilers) 4. HAVE FUN! Make friends! 5.

    I agree with @Returned, the stuff on Scadrial especially with the skaa is important to show how awfully mistreated people are.

    But... that's not what subjective means. I'm glad we cleared up this miscommunication. Sidenote, while trying to find the definition on the IAU website, I stumbled upon this: https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/ @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren, where are you getting those screenshots?

    First, how is an ARBITRARY mass limit less subjective? Second, here's a great Reddit response that I think explains it really well:

    I NEVER SAID YOU DID IT CANNOT BE LESS SUBJECTIVE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED! WE DIDN'T JUST REMOVE THE PLANETS, THEY JUST DIDN'T QUALIFY. But no one's answering my question: why does everyone want Pluto do be a planet so badly?

    Everybody's done it at one point. I'm just glad that you're being active!

    @coldfuzion76 It's impossible to avoid all spoilers, but in general you want to leave important plot elements of recent books out of titles, so it's probably best if you< edit the title of this title. Thanks! I think Kaladin will just use the Spear he manifested at the end of WaT.

    The thing that started this whole Pluto argument on the Shard was in my alien discussion thread someone said that life exists on one of our planets, and possibly more, and that Pluto should be a planet.

    Any scientific term will be subjective except for fundamental constants. Like I said before, the term is just something we made up, so we made it up not to include a bunch of planets. I don't understand why people are so mad about this. Pluto didn't stop existing because it's not a planet. You can still look at the beautiful pictures. You can even still believe it has life. It just isn't a planet.

    Because it would clutter the Solar System too much!

    Planet is a subjective term! Sorry, pinged the wrong person. @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren

    Oh yeah, you're right 94

    I hate this so much. I hate it and I'm going to go crazy during this game.

    I hid it because it got way off topic (thanks Coder) Edit: also, @CoderDrag0n8, where did you get that image?

    Why did you use abs? 14

    It was supposed to be a joke because there are no short names in astronomy other than "Sol" and "Luna." (And "Mars")
  19. Through the Living Hopper
    Because a short name is better than a long one
  20. Through the Living Hopper
    But that was a long time ago, and then there was no official definition for planet (as a result, you can argue that Pluto never actually was a planet).

    The problem is that changing scientific terms, even for good reason, causes huge issues with old instructional and old ways of thinking.

    You can interpret Han Solo's comment as meaning he went closer to potential dangers so that the run was shorter.

    Let's jumpstart this discussion (That's a joke, I actually hate the Pluto should be a planet argument)
