gollark: Current physical evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of it being globey. That doesn't mean that we have *proven* it must be a globe.
gollark: ... no, it's shown that *in our physical models*, this is the case, and I think in some cases they just start from that as an assumption.
gollark: It *cannot be proven* that this holds in all situations ever, because this is a statement about reality and not our models.
gollark: As far as anyone knows, yes.
gollark: Current physical theories say it can't. They seem to be right about this so far, but the models *do not create reality*, it goes the other way round.
