Why Science Is Awesome

What happened to Pluto is what I adore about science. New technology... providing new information... that causes the scientific community to realize fault in it's existing information. No adherence to tradition, no injured pride, no accusations of heresy and no excommunication. You just inform the world that billions of books, posters, documentaries and science fair models are WRONG. And when the world replies "COME ON!" Science replies "TOUGH SH*T" this is science. I love it.
Update: After I wrote this, Neil deGrasse Tyson appeared on the Daily Show and talked about Pluto:
Show/Hide
