Hear a lot about flat earthers, but folks don't seem to have a problem with heliocentrism
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
well, to be fair, we can see the same amount of stuff in every direction without an edge. and at the rate of expansion, we could never reach the 'edge' we can currently see. so we kinda are at the centre of the universe
I think the problematic part of ~~heliocentrism~~ geocentrism is more "the sun is rotating around the earth" rather than "we are at the center of universe"
heliocentrism is not about the sun rotating around the earth. The heliocentric model puts the sun at the center, and everything rotating around it.
Oh yes, Im dumb sorry I meant geocentrism but just used the word written above x)
