I will bite!

Pluto orbits the Sun. I believe that all bodies in our solar system came from the Quasar it used to be. My belief is that nothing of Pluto’s size crosses the void between stars.

I do agree that Pluto’s orbital intersection of Neptune’s orbit means that one day, it will not be here.

But for now, it is a planet.

"My belief is that nothing of Pluto’s size crosses the void between stars."

Interstellar space is believed to be literally teeming with planetary mass objects, ejected from their parent star by any number of known methods. But let me give you the short of it. Pluto is part of a larger collection of objects called Kuiper Belt Objects, which failed to form a planet and are instead a collection of debris similar to the asteroid belt. The asteroid Ceres was also considered a planet for one brief time, until it was discovered that it wasn't the only one out there. The IAU wisely (in my opinion) chose to define a planet as an object which has cleared its orbit of other similar objects. Pluto has not. In fact, Nepune has cleared Pluto from its orbit, forcing it into a 2:3 resonance orbit along with Pluto's "moons" (quotations because pluto is just the largest of them).

And then there is the matter of Pluto's discovery. It was originally calculated that some mass was perturbing the orbit of Neptune and Uranus, and so the search for a nineth planet began. Later it was found that those calculations were in error, and there was no nineth planet, but yet the search continued because years of research was already invested it in. When they finally discovered Pluto completely by accident, it was rushed to planet status before anything was really known about it. It never belonged there in the first place, in my opinion.

Sorry for the rant.

Quasars had nothing to do with the formation of our Our Solar System. You apparently have no understanding of the meaning of the word Quasar.

The trans-Neptunian object Eris outmasses Pluto, but has a slightly smaller diameter.
