Definition of
Planet: Useful in science?
Or, just pedantry?
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union sparked an uproar and furious debate among scientists and non-scientists alike when they voted for a definition of the word, planet. Numerous proposals since that time have been made for the definition of that term. Eleven years later, a new proposal has gotten a lot of media attention and in this episode, we discuss that new proposed definition. This is closer to a friendly debate style because the guest and I have different points of view on this issue.
There are no additional segments in this episode, but the interview runs 51 minutes. This is also the episode for the first half of March.
