Comment Ceres USED TO BE an ocean world and MAY still be. (Score 5, Insightful) 90

Ceres is not yet declared a small Europa.
From the original Nature article abstract: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticle...
"The surface and internal structure of Ceres show evidence of a global process of aqueous alteration, indicating the existence of an ocean in the past. However, it is not clear whether part of this ocean is still present and whether residual fluids are still circulating in the dwarf planet.".
So, please keep calm and make science.

It's not quite so simple. Remember that Newton was highly religious. It would be hard to describe him as not having a fully functional brain.

Never forget Newton discovered Gravity rules when an apple fall on his head. That may induce a kind of heavy head trauma, so it's normal that he became highly religious.
