Cool, they've... found a chunk of rock and stuff... really far away. :D Astronomy rules!

Hm... Sedna... That doesn't really roll off the tongue or anything.

[arrrse]

Yeah a looooong way away.
Though I'd have called the oort cloud further away (mind you I don't think they have actually found any actual oort cloud objects yet...)

[AR81]

Imagine that Oort cloud doesn't exist... it would be like the Flogisto theory.

Er? :confused:
All Google gives me is phlogiston theory which I don't see the relevance of

Y'know, I've always been under the belief that my brain was the most distant object in the solar system. However, after reading that, I'm going to have to reconsider that theory.

Imagine a normal person in the center of the universe and all other people around depending of their "normality". I am the most distan place in the UNIVERSE...:D

I won, hehe.:p

Hey, that's not fair! >.>

Anyhow, this is pretty interesting. Our county is getting new textbooks for the new school year, but I reckon they'll have to get even newer ones, now! Haha.. Shows 'yeh jest how smart they can be over there!

RaCail, nice to see ya kid.
It's been a long time since I played IWDE and met in the old forums.

How old are you. I bet you are not the young kiddo I met. Don't ya?

Dreadnaught was 15 when you were 10, so I guess you must be about 15 by now.

From 15 to 24 we start to know ourselves and forge our selfesteem. It is a time of chemical changes in our bodies so you start to feel a bit sad from time to time, but that's because of it.

It also becomes very important to fit. but curiously, fitting in a group of teens, if not impossible at least it is very hard. Socializing in teen chats is the tougher thing I've tried. Curiously, here it is an exception. May be we are geeks, hehe.

BTW, your title says "freak". Is people calling you a freak? We all are freaks in a way or another. If you knew the problems people have.

When people say I am a freak I say "I dressed with a mirror".

Sedna is quite close in the grand scheme of things, but is still very far away on a human scale of things.

The Oort cloud objects are valid objects, they are very hard to spot since they are vey cold small and far away.

Sedna was most likely discovered using some AI data mining robots. There is a hell of lot of space out of there.

Well some people thing think (and trying to prove) that brown dwarfs could be closer than Alpha Centuri, except that they are very cold and they will be hard to see. Brown dwarfs are faill stars. i.e. not big enought to ignite hydrogen in there cores, but give out light since they contract.
