ChickenLadyLovesLife, in Archaeopteryx 🐦

Fun bio fact: there’s also an extinct plant named https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteris thought for some time to be the world’s first tree.

I never made it far enough in math to understand this.

There’s a nice book about this: www.goodreads.com/…/57007645-thinking-better so you can learn.

I… haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my list. I’ve only listened to some interviews with the author about it.

I cast set theory?

Adalast,

I was thinking the same thing.

768,

Thanks.

Pluto and Charon are double planets. Change my mind.

Animated_beans,

Pluto is smaller than Earth’s moon. Should our moon be a planet too?

andthenthreemore,

Gaia and Selene are double planets. Change my mind.

Does our moon independently orbit the sun?

Pegajace, (edited )

No, because absolute size is not what makes a moon a moon. Our Moon is a moon because it directly orbits a planet, not a star. Charon is massive enough relative to Pluto that the former does not directly orbit the latter, but instead they both orbit a common barycenter located between them, making them a binary planetary system.

DroneRights,

A binary dwarf planetary system

Frozengyro,

I mean the earth and moon do the same thing, just on a much smaller scale.

Zellith, (edited )

The barycenter between earth and the moon is within the earths crust. The barycenter between charon and pluto is outside of plutos surface. For those who dont understand, this means that the center of gravity between the earth and moon is INSIDE the earth. So the moon orbits a point within the earth. Not so with the charon pluto system. Both worlds orbit a point in space.

If the moon was to have its own orbital path around the sun, then sure. It would be a planet imo. It's rounded by its own gravity... and it would orbit the sun.

But I guess if we want to the meat of the subject about what defines a planet in the most basic sense, it would be things that make Earth a planet, since we pretty much all agree Earth is a planet. So.. rounded... Orbits the sun... What else would you say describes the Earth?

I thought it was Euler that did this. But I can imagine Gauss doing it too.

mexicancartel,

Ahh because Euler did everything

Yes, this is how I relate to bees.

Bouchtroubouli,

You have my upvote, but please, don’t do it again.

“I can’t survive above 38.0 C for very long as well.”

OP must be weak. I had a fever above 38.0 °C for over a week once. Finally went to the hospital and my fever was gone by the time I arrived. Our bodies do some weird sh*t sometimes.

Tried to replicate by subtracting pi from a police officer, but all I got was a type error and a night in jail.
