Talk:Sun

Little experiment here, in consideration of the fact that the Sun isn't really a plot-point in any HT work. The closest it gets is its "role" as "Tosev". TR 22:20, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

"Certainly no story has been set on the Sun."

Oh, you witty witty devil, you. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

You know, I wonder if one could say that the sun served as a plot point in "But It Does Move." Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

" . . . plus the former planet Pluto."

Pluto never was a planet. It was mistakenly believed to have met the qualifications till Neil DeGrasse Tyson (sp?) realized it never had and they'd been wrong about it all along. Calling it a former planet would be like saying that the speed of light used to be infinite or atoms were once indivisible. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Fixed. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

The only object I could name offhand which might merit description as a former planet is Alderaan. Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

"The Sun . . . by itself accounts for 99.86% of the Solar System's mass."

Wow--That's a lot. Turtle Fan 23:18, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Rather hard to comprehend. TR 00:29, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Very. To the point that I half wish I hadn't read it; it's got my neurons whirring, in vain. Turtle Fan 01:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Given recent discussions elsewhere, I guess it's time to chuck this one. Everyone knows what the sun is, and the "But It Does Move" conflict is covered in Ptolemy and Nicolaus Copernicus. The fact that it's called Tosev in Worldwar is clear from other articles.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 05:51, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
