Zeteticists would argue that Saturn and the other planets (called wondering stars by the ancients - in fact, the word "planet" comes from the Greek word planetes, meaning "wanderer.") are located in a layer beyond the Moon and Sun, but not “out there” in outer space - at least, that’s what they tell me when I ask them questions about this.
“ People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations. For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that. ”

Why do so many different accounts on this board talk about exactly the same things in exactly the same way as that guy who used his real name on glp did? Earth realm, zeteticism, lost valuables overboard in a boat accident/botched suicide attempt, etc.? Just use one fucking account and stop trying to have an outsized influence.
