That's quite a photo. Did you take that during an OBE?
I have a very dry sense of humor I'm told.

HollowEarth/Eternal Ice was pretty popular in late 19th century--even if it was considered pseudo science by many....and if true, then the sun is a lot smaller and closer than we've been led to believe.

Unfortunately, Copernicus, Ptolemy and even Newton were considered crazy before their theories were accepted by the science gangs.....Check out "Structures of Scientific Revolutions" for more on how the science community reacts to alternative theories...
Was the non-fiction book you read titled Morning of the Magicians by any chance?

I can shoot down this "projector" theory with no problem at all.
In the thousands of years we've been around, all the way from today back to the Mayans, Egyptians, Incans, and Aztecs, the sun has been in the sky. And you're proposing that an alien species somehow felt the need to install a secret projector in a mysterious cavity in order to fool everyone into thinking a giant ball of flame was spinning around the Earth? And then years later, we find we're spinning around that fire, but it's still a hologram and we just don't know it?
And not only that, but all of our space probes have been tampered with so as to make the sun look like a three dimensional intergalactic inferno, instead of virtual image?

How about geography, is that a lie also? Seriously bloc, why can't you see that discworld is wrong, no PTB involved?
