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.

Thanks for playing I'm going to be so smart and use sarcasm on someone when in fact I'm wrong game.

Seriously though, some people need to fvcking check themselves out in the head and realize they're nowhere near as intelligent as they think they are.

You are no exception so sthu and put your own epenis back in your pants. Until the IAU says it's a planet, it isn't. I am not at all impressed with your gratuitous name calling.

Edit for spelling.

What the hell are you talking about? Gratuitous name-calling? I called those debating douchebags, and said they looked like asses. Sorry if that offended you, though I can't say I care much about impressing you. :roll:

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.

It would seem as though you have serious life issues that need sorting out. I can't believe someone would be able to get this incensed in a planet thread where noone has even been flaming each other. Just... wow.

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.

Actually, you're wrong. Look up the word revolve.

Afraid I'm gonna have to agree,
To orbit a central point. - revolve
Since the earth isn't the central point would this not mean it does not revolve around us? Oh Noes!!!

So for president. :p

I am right. Revolve means to turn around. In terms of celestial objects that is to turn around an axis or a center. ANYTHING in the space it revolves around is considered the CENTER.

Here think of this. Draw a circle. The space inside that circle is the center. ALL OF IT. You can not define an infintesimal point, except through math only, as the dead center. By techincal definition everything in that space is the center. So, since we are in the space of any planet outside our elliptical revolution, the we are in the center of anything that revolves outside of our space is we are in its space.

I know it might seem confusing but I'm right and you are wrong and nana nana boo boo.

From Wiki on "Planet": "Astronomers distinguish between minor planets, such as asteroids, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects; and major (or true) planets. Isaac Asimov suggested the term mesoplanet be used for planetary objects intermediate in size between Mercury and 1 Ceres, which would include the five objects mentioned above (Pluto, Sedna, Orcus, Quaoar, and Varuna)."...SO THERE!!!

1. transitive and intransitive verb move in circular fashion: to move in a circular movement, or send something in a circular movement, either around an object or on a central axis

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't an object mean, something specific, like the sun?

A central axis is a defined point isn't it?

/me hands out prozac...it's easier for me since I am in the center of the universe.

Just throw them into the air and let centripetal force carry them on their way.

You guys thinking the sun is the center of the universe are so 90's.

"ANYTHING in the space it revolves around is considered the CENTER"

I can't even respond to this...

Even even going by your ridiculous definition of "center," the asteroid doesn't revolve around us. We're not on the same plane of revolution.

Nope, central axis is not necessarily a point. For example look at this diagram.

diagram

Looking at that picture, tell me which black dot is the center of that circle and which is not?

Answer: ALL OF THEM. Any space within a circle or ellipse is the center. You can not define a point of any size and say with definitive assertion, that point is a center.

So, I'm right and you are wrong... muahah!

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
