If the compromise is obviously impossible, the mathematicl model has likely made one or more incorrect assumptions. What happens is recognizing these assumptions, discarding or modifying them, basing a new model on the new assumptions and testing whether this new model reproduces experimental data and if it's possible predictions are reproduced by future measurements.
In short, science happens.

Even if we as outsiders manage to know this is false, what reason do the people within that universe have to believe it is false? It's a model that corresponds to the facts they have at hand. If it is "obviously incorrect" to them, it's because there is mathematical proof that's actively being ignored.

If you three idiots would take the time to google the name attached to the OP's pic, you'd realize he's posited something that actually happened in history.

>>52679262 gave you an additional hints with the false nose and dwarf manservant.

The OP posited a scenario that actually happened in history and is likely aware of what happened afterwards. Why would we waste his time by recounting what happened when he's already familiar with it. And if we would, how is this >>52679238 not what happened?

>>52680922
Yes.

>>52679417
There's a lot of stuff that makes perfect sense from mathematical point of view, and even approximates reality to a decent degree, but is obviously incorrect. Such as infinite half space model of soil mechanics, or any problem that begins with "assuming a spherical cow in a vacuum...".

From memory, wasn't the issue not that it was "Earth isn't centre of the universe" but that the person saying it was a giant fucking asshole tipping his fedora at everything?
