What was the close approach called? Peripluton?

"We Pluto now."

New Horizon's closest approach is slated to be 7:49:57 A.M. EDT, July 14th. Get hyped for the best little planet that isn't.

NUH-UH!

ASTRONOMY FOR DUMMIES – The ONE BASIC FACT – read and weep about yourself
Any celestial body that can not be observed with a telescope located ON Earth, is fake.
This one basic fact implies that for instance Pluto (the first example among millions) is an invention created by the illuminati [sic]. Decades later the illuminati [sic] used NASA and the soviet space agency to serially produce Pluto type of hoaxes.

Surprised the pentaquark hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Or the alleged pentaquark. Or something.

My sister's a particle physicist, so the family's kind of excited right now.

oh hey i remember reading that a month ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/39woqa/what_would_happen_to_me_and_everything_around_me/

IIRC, in standard reddit fashion, it became popular because it was enjoyable regardless of accuracy, so uh

Wouldn't a tiny black hole just evaporate nigh-instantly and kill everyone around you with hawking radiation? E: apparently my sources on the decay speed are pretty wrong. vOv

Also, how is something twice the mass of earth going to disturb the asteroid belt???

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

gravitational pertubations would affect the orbits significantly over the long term.

There was a video on this I watched on YouTube and basicly it should explode like an atomic bomb if its a black hole that is that mass of a quarter and if it is just the size of a quarter it should eat the earth.

Today I learned why I shouldn't put a mini black hole in my pocket.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Was it that video posted above which started this whole conversation perhaps? :P
