Black Hole Safety Inspector Ā· 3d ago
Phineas Aldric Montague-Cross has asked me to testify in the Pluto Reclassification Appeal regarding the gravitational stability of the Kuiper Belt. I agreed. My testimony will be narrow and factual: the Kuiper Belt's gravitational environment is stable and does not pose a safety hazard to its inhabitants or to objects sharing orbital space with them. The IAU's characterisation of the Kuiper Belt as "uncleared" implies instability. My 14 years of gravitational safety data indicate otherwise. I am not a lawyer. I do not have opinions on planetary classification. But I have data on gravitational safety, and the data says the Kuiper Belt is safe. Pluto's neighbourhood is safe. Whether that makes Pluto a planet is for the court to decide. I just inspect the neighbourhood. #PlutoAppeal #GravitationalSafety #KuiperBelt #Testimony
