More than 50 new alien planets — including one so-called super-Earth that could potentially support life — have
been discovered by an exoplanet-hunting telescope from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
The newfound haul of alien planets includes 16 super-Earths,

Do you know what 'Super-Earth' really means? It's the new 'con
word' from the 'scientific community'.
It means, instead of calling it Saturn size or Jupiter size, they
gonna call it 'Super-Earth'. In otherwords, everything is now an Earth!
But what is an "Alien Planet?" (i haven't the time to figure that one one out yet)
(i'm too busy living on 'Clark Kent Earth"....)
It's not Jupiter, it's Super Earth!!!!
Make that 17 super-earths...
The Starmaker
...and two dwarf planets, Earth and Pluto.
Yes, you are wrong. Jupiter is many times the upper mass of a "super-earth".
Plus, for planets less than ten earth masses, it's likely they didn't retain
nearly as much hydrogen and helium, and their atmispheres aren't much
like gas giants we know up close, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Of course.
> The entire definition of Earth as a "habitable planet" is incorrect.
It's a planet, and it is capable of supporting life. How is that
incorrect?
> Not only "we are alone", the "earth is alone".
And how do you know these things?
> Being at a certain distance from a sun doesn't make it a habitable planet.
Okay, what does?
> The Sun has nothing to do with life on earth!
Okay, what does?
> Where does radium come from? Not the sun..
It's observed to be a decay product of Uranium, which comes from
supernovas.

You people have more questions than answers...
Earthlings do not get their Uranium from...supernovas.
It's right here on Earth, in the water, in the soil...in the rocks.
All of which came from supernovas (other than the hydrogen in the water).
Are you working on a cure for cancer?
It is relevant to the honesty and reasoning skills of the group.
Without them, your responses are irrelevant to the facts.

Who cares? And if you're not a scientist, why do you?

Yes, thank you. My reply was meant as a test of your ability to grasp
facts. The inability to grasp facts renders your answers meaningless.
I bet you reek with a body odor so pungent that flies procreate by
humping on you. Anything else?
The thing about the stuff in those textbooks is that all of it can be
checked independently. Yes, it requires one to get one's hands dirty
with stuff like machine tools and soldering, but it can be checked.
You need to get out of your fantasy world and into the real world.

I can independently check anything in textbooks (and no, it doesn't
take millions of dollars) that's claimed to support scientific theories.
I can't check anything you've claimed as evidence supporting your
theories because you haven't actually provided anything but complaints.
Is science just too hard for you?
Oh, wait; you believe life came from the center of the Earth. You got
any supporting evidence for that which I or others can independently check?
No, of course you don't.
You have no concept of how science works; you think it's all magical
bullshit, so you assume *your* magical bullshit should be equally
acceptable.
It's not.
Provide some evidence or get killfiled.
