How the hell can we humans know, just by looking at some telescope from planet Earth at things that are so far, millions of millions of light years away? What if we were wrong all along? What if out there, it's just one big black screen of planet drawings that we're looking at. Or just some 3D simulation? Or maybe one big ass wall of painting <cite>Mackorov posted [p:891571538] in How do sci...

What if the planets don't look small because they're far away but look small because they're just that small?! <cite>Mackorov posted [p:891571751] in How do sci...
