Tamala Krsna: This is the book of the rascal scientists. They describe the solar system according to their nonsense. The solar system… Gives all the calculations. They calculated how much it weighs on each planet. [laughs] They haven’t even been there. They say that each planet has moons.

Pluto is much smaller than Neptune and has a diameter probably about…”

Prabhupada: “Probably.”

Tamala Krsna: “…half the size.”

Prabhupada: “Probably.”

Prabhupada: “Probably.” Their science is “probably.” Probably it is science; otherwise it is nonsense.
