I’m always fascinated by how woo, hoaxes and conspiracies evolve. I hope the OP does explain what variety of the hollow sphere universe he/she is referring to. OP, do you think the moon, Mars or the planets are mercury disks in the centre of the universe? > **[Cellular cosmogony](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Cellular_cosmogony)** > > Cellular cosmogony is a particularly nutty view of the Universe, invented by a cult leader named Koresh Teed (a.k.a.

The rest of the universe is also contained within. The actual Sun is invisible; our Sun, the Moon, and the stars are just reflections off some mercury discs in the centre of the Universe.

I will go further. > [@karol](#): > > [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaaswxqEvEk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaaswxqEvEk) (captions and annotations) > > and don’t start with: “oh another link but still no explanations” > > Well, that’s what these are for. You will either look it up or not. Posting a link and not actually providing your own statements in your own words is nonsense. If you want to persuade others of your beliefs, you need to actually make the effort to persuade them that your beliefs have any validity. Telling them to go look at some other person’s words or pictures without providing your own explanation or context is not a good method to persuade others and it is frowned upon, here. In addition, the [Registration Agreement](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=650726) notes that > [@](#): > > The board is not intended to furnish you with a forum for promoting your personal agenda. Your monomaniacal devotion to odd beliefs regarding the nature of the Earth and the universe certainly appear to be a personal agenda. So, you are violating the board rules to make a case for your beliefs and you are doing so in a very ineffective manner. Much more of this and you will have to move on to bother some other board’s membership.
