Well, there is kind of a big hint in the name. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 08:19:05 PM
I was just watching a quiz show where three people answered the question of "True or False, the earth the centre of the solar system?" with True. I didn't think there could be a single person in the educated world who was ignorant of the fact that the sun is at the centre of the solar system and yet the BBC managed to gather three such idiots into one studio at the same time. Gah, I hate people right now.

It is not the Terran system, after all.

Defining the Sun as the center of the solar system isn't really right either Isaac - 26/01/2012 11:28:44 PM 723 Views
Huh. Is the system's barycenter actually outside the Sun? I thought it was in the corona. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/01/2012 11:49:23 PM 182 Views
It moves, between the photosphere and the Corona Isaac - 27/01/2012 12:58:15 AM 474 Views

You haven't seen true idiocy until you've watched some Family Feud *NM* Praziquantel - 27/01/2012 12:59:41 AM 233 Views
I suppose idiocy might be a good description. Chas - 27/01/2012 01:36:01 AM 724 Views
