    No, it started out when the telescope was invented but people couldn’t go to space so they could only speculate.

      I’m aware that in the past people believed the earth was flat. I’m saying that recently…like within the last 5 years or so it made a comeback for whatever reason.

      Interesting, considering observations with a telescope and the development of calculus is what allowed us to understand that the solar system works out like it does via physics and the mathematics that it’s based on.
