New planet discovered

Now that would be even more interesting - an extra-solar planet in orbit around our very own sun.

We really need to find a way to get around our solar system a bit more rapidly.

Easy. We just buy a few hundred of the various perpetual motion machines scattered around the Internet, hook them together into an ion drive, and reroute the exhaust from the drvie back through the engines, and viola! Unlimited acceleration! Right?

But where would we get all the fuel for such an endeavour?

Quick - call in the homeopaths!

We can build it super fast using the psychokinetics, using rare materials located by the dowsers and hardened and enhanced using Penta water clustering technology.

The religious teams can bless the whole craft and Prophet Yahweh can summon a spaceship or two to ferry the craft to orbit.

The ship will then be triggered by Psi commands and fly through the solar system to our new planet.

And the remote viewers can tell us exactly what we'll see before it gets there!

Ah but regardless of origin, if it's orbiting the Sun it wouldn't be extrasolar. :)
 
i think "Fear Not" would be a great name for a planet. "Oh no! We're going to crash into Fear Not! Everyone panic, we're all going to die!"
 
Iknow the point has been made above, but I think they should name it:

"This is why astrology is ridiculous"

I envy the thought of a time when we would actually have to worry about crashing into something that's 97 AU away (over nine billion miles distant).

Well, literally, I don't consider Pluto a planet. But that pesky IAU begs to differ. ;)

I was just about to post this in a new thread, but your comment stopped me:
Pluto no longer a planet

Michael Brown says: "From now on, everyone should ignore the distracting debates of the scientists. Planets in our solar system should be defined not by some attempt at forcing a scientific definition on a thousands-of-years-old cultural term, but by simply embracing culture. Pluto is a planet because culture says it is.

"It is understandably hard for scientists to let go of a word that they think they use scientifically, but they need to."

Yeah. And it's not just because it's cooler to be known for discovering a planet that it is to find a small lump of rock. Of course not.

And it's not just "planet" either. Who do scientists think they are, demanding that we use their definitions of words like "proof" and "medicine" and "reality"?

Unfortunately, knowing the woo mindset, the discovery that they had not accounted for this celestial object before will only be twisted to their advantage:
"Well, you see, that explains why not all our predictions were fulfilled! We always acknowleged there was a minor degree of error in our forecasting, and now we know why. Of course, now we can take account of this new information, we can fine tune our predictions to be even more accurate in the future than they were previously!"

I think for so many branches of woo thinking to be used on this endeavour would require the development of a Unified Theory of Woo-Woo, and unfortunately this appears to be many years off :D

".. and of course, the extra complexity does mean that we will have to charge a little bit more..."

Nonsense, it's just quantum string vibrational energy theory of emanations and auras...simple!

Alternatively, we can simple use precognitives to look into the future and copy the WOOT (Woo-woo Overview Organizational Theory) down so we can use it today!

Of course that's the obvious solution, I should have thought of that!
 
It’s already got a name.
