Study Concludes "Planet" Was Just Stellar Spots
Kligat writes "Back in January, it was reported that the youngest planet ever to be discovered, about ten times the mass of Jupiter, was orbiting the eight- to ten-million-year-old star TW Hydrae. Now a Spanish research team has concluded that TW Hydrae b doesn't exist, and that cold spots on the star's surface actually produced the dip in brightness instead of a transiting planet. Not as cool as if a planet had actually been there, but refutations are science, too, right?"
What about if it's economic in nature, backed by right-wing think tanks, and allows for no dissent?
Welcome to the Church of Reagan, Mises and Hayek.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
just provide evidence that offsets fanbois about apple, linux, global warming or the democratic party on here and find out how much refuting anything will get you modded down by a bunch of faggot bitches.
This is all part of the process of science.
People are trying to figure out the unknown, and don't always get it right the first time.
The popular press may spin it differently for the layman, but this is how science works.
your shits all retarted.
Finally, conclusive proof that our lord God, in all his wisdom, would not allow another planet to corrupt His grand design. It is good, and by God's grace that the lies of these heretical scientists are exposed.
They see things in little more than fairy tales, shadows on a star, and believe with all their fibre that something exists that doesn't.
Our Lord God, in all his wisdom, would never allow another planet, not in the 5,000 years since creation itself has He ever done anything so looney.
Lets see you fuckers laughing and being blase when the LHC fucks up the planet .... in the name of science of course.
After all, "Hawking Radiation" will stop anything bad happening.
Scientists .... arrogant motherfuckers playing god more like
Ever heard of the fermi paradox .... yeah, every previous civilization had scientists so fucking arrogant that they build an LHC or similar.
Stupid cunts.
