Space The Imaginary Frontier
Ok, so how is this problem of Metaphysical Realism relevant to descriptions of the shape of The Earth and/or The Cosmos, itself? Well, it is in that what "scientists" are describing as the shape of both The Earth and Cosmos are entangled in their reification of reality using speculative and ambiguous mathematics. And yet, they deduce from such reifications that what they are describing is literally reality, when in fact, they are merely applying mathematical modeling to an abstract preconception of reality. Reification, also known as concretism, hypostatization, or The Fallacy of Misplaced Concreteness, is a fallacy of ambiguity where an abstract belief or hypothetical construct is treated as if it were a concrete real event or physical entity. In other words, it is the error of treating something that is not real, observable, or concrete, such as the idea of a Heliocentric Model, as a concrete thing. A common case of reification is the confusion of a model with reality. In other words, "The map is not the territory.," as they say.
