My goodness! A planet 15 million years long.

I've seen \"light year\" misused as a unit of duration (1/3 fewer calories than a regular year, perhaps?), and even Star Wars did the same thing with \"parsec\" (in an appallingly dumb line for sci-fi by the time it was made), but this is the first time I've ever seen a reference to a planet being \"15,000,000 years long\"! That's hilarious!

Get out of my life. Use thousands of meters of gasoline or a whole spatula of horses. I don't care.

Scientists always said the universe was older than 15m years anyway.
That's a pretty big planet by the way, i wonder what it's age in metres is.

What's this planet's mass then? Must be in the microhertz range.

Do you practice at being so stupid are you a natural ?

What the hell? I'm not even sure how to start to decipher this.
Incidentally, how many years long is Earth?

The rest of the board is pretty hilarious. Especially the "Maybe God put other planets there to distract the scientists." lol.
No, we understand our science well enough to argue for it in a coherent and intelligent manner. Do you?

That's wrong.
Everyone knows that the planet is 14 terabytes old!

Even if we look past the bizarre typo, I can't see how a 15 million year old planet would confuse astronomers.

Education missed this one.
"15,000,000 years long"
Dimensional analysis fails ...

I expect what they meant to say was 15,000,000 years YOUNG.

Yet they're still pretty staunchly holding the position it's WAY older than 6000 years.

With some mucking around with unit conversions it is possible to measure mass in units of distance. Starting from kilograms, multiply by G (the gravitational constant) then divide by c2. This leaves you with your mass in meters, which will be very small (the Earth's mass is about 9 millimeters).
Just thought that was semi-related.
