Excuse me? No one ever questioned wether it was a cool discovery, YOU retard. Maybe if you can't understand what context something was said in, you don't need to call somone a retard.

I believe that Cain is/was referring to the scientists as 'retards,' or at least, that is how I read it.
Let's keep the name calling out of it and not get personal please .

Yea, I think he's talking about the scientists too.

Something interesting thing is that in 280 years it will be as close as Neptune. I wonder if it means it will exit the Kuiper Belt like Pluto does. If so, why couldnt it be called a planet if Pluto is one?

Its a very interesting subject.

Well, given that the definition of "planet" isn't set in stone there's bound to be people (including scientists who often have highly inflamable brains) who will argue that these are not planets.

There is no limit as to what is a planet described in things like size and orbit.
And as these objects (there's actually 3 of them, though only one made the news) are both in a region where objects are not generally classed as planets (and with the orbits to suit) and are of a size which DOES class them as planets (as they're as large as or larger than the smallest recognised planets) there's option for debate.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
