Uhm. No. Please read the article, dude. A public audience vote at a single debate doesn't reinstate Pluto as a planet.I rather doubt they'll reinstate it arbitrarily. They have defined what a planet is, now, and until there's a reason to change that definition they won't. As was said in the article, we don't really have enough evidence to construct an accurate definition of "planet", yet - so they'll keep the current definition, the one that excludes Pluto, until there is.It's actually a very interesting issue, though. Not because of Pluto or even because of planets/space/astrophysics/whatever, but because of the universally applicable problem: how do we scientifically define things, and, thus, categorise them? How unique does a category have to be? And so on. It strikes right at the way we conduct scientific research.
