alt Hacker NewsI wonder how happy each group would be by this solution. Planet as a scientific and non-scientific usage.
Conclusively, science class would not teach Pluto as a planet (it should after all stick to the science) and English class will discuss the cultural impact of planet Pluto! Maybe write poems about the importance and impact of 9 word mnemonics? Sounds fun.
My headcanon is that people would hate it so so much! I can't wait to see that as a distant observer.
This would be a really good discussion topic in schools.
People need to understand the dynamic between science and society, because that is an important part of how the world works today.
Pluto is an exemplar.
And also, the value of culture. It might not be a scientific result, but it still shapes our experience of the world. Pluto is beloved.
