If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here and it will still go up this week.
The submissions post for next week is linked below as usual.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-02 10:18 am (UTC)(link)No one is arguing that 'Pluto really is a planet! Science is just wrong!' People are saying they're sad/upset because something they grew up with [and in some cases had fond memories attached to] has changed. It's something that's actually not that uncommon in any given generation - and lecturing people about 'Well, science changes!' isn't going to really effect it, beyond giving the feeling that you think their feelings aren't valid which...kind of isn't cool.

I have a scientific upbringing and I've had my lot of learning everything I'd been told in former classes was in fact not true, or over-simplified because until then it was too complicated to teach to high school students.
But I totally get why people might be a bit nostalgic.
Not to mention, most people who I saw express that feeling are geeks, and they're half-joking about it.
As kids, we loved to learn about the planets, and had fun remembering the order of planets in the solar system.

Er, I do think people ARE still saying that they're ignoring science and Pluto IS a planet, though. There's been a few comments alluding to that in this very thread, and I've seen other things where people have basically screamed over how the big mean scientists are WRONG, Pluto will ALWAYS be a planet and so THERE.
(I actually saw a comparison to the scientists as the popular kids who kicked out the poor outcast. I'm guessing that person didn't know many science geeks. We've never been the popular kids! And I say this as someone graduating with a science degree in two and a bit weeks.)
But yeah, I guess I was disregarding how people felt for a bit, for which I apologise. I'm just puzzled at how emotive an issue it is.
