You made me curious about the timeframe and it turns out I had it completely wrong.
Pluto’s lack of orbital dominance is a matter of size not time, it’s already had the required time it’s just too wee to get it done. Pluto will never be a full planet!

also Pluto lovers should note that orbital dominance takes longer the farther out you are, due to the size of the orbit itself and the sheer amount of time it takes to make a trip around, limiting interactions with neighbors.
Pluto will eventually own it’s orbit and whatever species has inherited the earth may decide to grant it full planet status again!

this method is how we discovered Neptune and Pluto and many exoplanets. Kepler’s laws are extremely specific about orbits, so once you pin down the disturbances the planet makes you significantly narrow down the places it can be.

a cookie is a cookie but a newton is fruit and cake!
god these were such treasure as a child! I don’t think my children have even tried them but I sadly expect they might not love them the options are so much broader today.
And my store is having a sale on them now how lovely of the kids hate them I am sure i will at least get the satisfaction of finding them having been enshittified since I last tried them a decade ago!
