    I mean, they kinda do. All the flat earth models I’ve seen have a tiny sun going around in a circle above the disc.

    I’ve never come across anyone who believed in heliocentrism, ever. Is that a thing?

      Some public schools and so-called ‘experts’ try to tell us the earth and other planets orbit around the sun. But anyone can see with the naked eye that the planets don’t change brightness, even though their distance from the earth would vary vastly under this crazy heliocentric model! Fake science!

    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.
