Yes, Science is always changing. If people can't accept change, then they are ignorant (and wrong)

It doesn't matter to Pluto! Actually, Pluto has not been ruled out of the solar system it has just been placed in a new category. I think they are now calling it a "dwarf planet" or a "pluton" in honor of Pluto! And never fear, there is now a whole group of other astronomers who claim that the vote was too hasty and not everybody in the planetary science community was asked their opinion. So next year at the International Astronomical Union conference they may have another vote and reinstall Pluto as a full fledged planet. Astronomers are just like congressmen they keep changing their minds ... one minute they raise taxes and next minute they lower them .. it's the same old story.

Yes, they have to change all the science text books and say that pluto is no longer a planet. I don't even know what reason they took pluto out for.

it matters because all of us already knows that pluto is cosidered as one of the planets in the solar system....but someday we can be satisfied if pluto is not considered as planet.

The scientists can say what they want but I was taught that pluto was a planet. And a planet it shall stay.

as the king of uranus i would say go ahead and let it go, everybody on uranus thinks pluto is disgusting. by the way did you know that there is life on uranus? isnt that weird? do you think it is good to have life on uranus? do you think it is uncomfortable?

No because historically scientific views about this or that are ever changing, and we are always learning more about what we thought we already knew.

no. it's still just going to be a rock floating out there in space; all that has to change are our naming conventions which are arbitrary anyway.
