    This is incorrect. Apparently, flat earthers obviously regard other planets as spheres, unlike Earth, of course.

      In the Elder Scrolls lore, among other weird concepts, planets are literal gods and are not really spheres. they only appear so because they’re infinite and impossible to grasp for human minds.

      What flat-earthers believe is at least as much batshit nonsense as that fictional cosmology that was specifically written to be batshit nonsense.

      They don’t believe in other planets, at all. They’re just projections on the firmament. Or some stupid shit like that.

      Kind of cool how every single government in the world all cooperate on this to give the illusion of a spherical earth. I mean, imagine how much money they spend on flying an airplane 24/7 to make it look like ISS is in space. And who’s gonna project Saturn at all times just in case John over in Manchester wants to take a look with his telescope?

      A true marvel of human cooperation

      One aspect of flat earth is to put earth as the center of the universe again. Earth isn’t one of many planets and Sun isn’t one of many stars, all the other planets and stars are just dots in the sky
