[atmosx → zardo]

Google “the Galileo Affair”.

[ithkuil → atmosx]

I suggest you read about it again. It was about geo-centric vs helio-centric models. It was not about flat vs globe.

The geo-centric model assumed the earth was spherical but it didn't rotate or otherwise move.

[atmosx → ithkuil]

True, I didn't follow the thread closely, my bad.

[zardo → atmosx]

I meant specifically that the Earth is roughly ball shaped.
