Oh look... someone has to resort to name calling and STFU cause they can't win an argument. Geometry teaches the BASICS of this stuff in an attempt to give your average jr high schooler a chance to learn some formulas, functions, and basic theories. If you want to real stuff you must proceed BEYOND jr high math and step up with the big boys. So for the record, the space that the earth revolves around is within the center space of the elliptical revolvolution of that 10th planet. Thanks for playing.

Bear in mind I am arguing TECHNICALITIES and SYMANTICS. If you asked me for a practical answer I would say the 10th planet revolves around the sun. Why? because your average person with only jr high math would understand that basic concept. Technically, anything inside it's SPHERE of revolvolution is in its center and is revolved around.

Ok... so take #2 or #3, and off set them,
OH WAIT! OMGWTFBBQ? it's no longer the center! So maybe it's revolving around space, but it ain't revoling around earth or "us" it is revolving around the medium that contains "us" but not "us".

Oh and a central axis is where an x and a y meet is it not? - this is just a question

A central axis, YES. But now define X andY. How big are they? What space to they encompass?

Look, if you want to argue technicalities more, I'm all for that. Let's get to the nitty gritty. Technically, nothing makes a perfect revolution. Why? Because you can not form a perfect circle or sphere. Since nothing can be a perfect sphere or circle. As such, you can't find a dead center. No matter what you use to measure with, in reality, you can't find it. With math, you can, but that's using rounding and assumptions.

So because of that, the assumption is, anything within a SPHERE of influence is revolved around.

And revolution as a word was adopted from the term. To turn around. It has NOTHNG to do with a central axis. This is just some we can use a frame of reference for celestial bodies. Look up how the word revolution is used in other situations.

The French Revolution. The term revolution in this instance is refering to the range of years and set of events which took place to change the course of history for france to change the leadership of the country. As in TURN IT AROUND. nothing about a central axis.

Look, when I'm arguing technicalities here with I'm making a statement such as this.

I AM DEFINING THE ELIPTICAL PATTERN OF EARTH AS A POINT. I'm using that as a size reference. Now, is that point at the center of revolution of the 10th planet? Yes it is. Does that mean that any planet revolving around that point I defined above revolves in turn around earth? Yes it does.

Higher Math is funny because it's based on what you define your set of variables to be.

Edit for spelling.

If the articles are reporting it as a 10th planet, what are people supposed to think? Are they automatically supposed to know "Oh hey, it's not an official planet yet even though the article that I read said that it's a new planet and they're debating whether or not it should be classified as such." Seriously, who gives a sh1t about semantics when it's just interesting. Worry about semantics when more details are given.

The media will always tend to make headlines more interesting at the expense of accuracy. They said that Sedna was the 10th planet also. And what about all these stories of "IPod killers"? What device have you seen that stole the market from the IPod?

The media's headlines need to be taken with a grain of salt, some outlets more than others.

It's been reported as a planet, so, for the time-being, that's what it is. Your epenis isn't growing any at all, you're just looking like more of an ass, so stop.

Actually, that's not accurate. They have applied to have be called a planet, but nothing has been decided yet. So as of now, it's just a "large object".

So, it's not a planet until we discovered it? :confused:

Its orbit is 560 years around the Sun ? So it gets close enough to look at with a tscope in ... 4 or 500 years ?

LOL not wanting to get too technical but I will. This asteriod revolves around him and that is a fact. Actually, it's revolving around everyone. You see, it has a WIDER elliptical revolution around the sun then earth does. As such it's technically revolving AROUND anything within its elliptical pattern. Does that make us the center of that pattern? Nope. Now, the only things in our solar system that don't revolve around us are the sun, mercury, venus, and of course earth. Everything else revolves around us that is present in our solar system and is a celestial body.

Wrong.

The asteroid revolves around me, because the King said so. Here is how it works: For a fact to be a fact, the King must state it. The King gets his information from the Wizard, who gets his information from little birds in the courtyard, who get their information from God himself. As you can see, the birds serve as a mediator between God and the Wizard. God>birds>Wizard>King.

The King says that the asteroid is revolving around me. End of thread.

It's bigger thna pluto, and pluto is a planet, so it must be a planet by standing "rules".
But i still believe that pluto is not a planet, and that this thing is not a planet. That's me as a to-be astronomer.

If you can provide any source other than your incessant rambling as backup for this, then please, enlighten me. Otherwise, you can stop repeating the same dogsh*t argument over and over again because it's getting old.

Maybe you can post a poll and see what AT thinks of your theory...
