This view on space and matter persisted until Einstein described spacetime as being relative and connected to matter. John Dalton's model of the atom, which held that atoms are indivisible and indestructible (superseded by nuclear physics) and that all atoms of a given element are identical in mass (superseded by discovery of atomic isotopes).

Terravision is a 3D mapping software developed in 1993 by the German company ART+COM in Berlin as a "networked virtual representation of the Earth based on satellite images, aerial shots, altitude data and architectural data". [1] Development of the project was supported by the Deutsche Post (now Deutsche Telekom). Google Earth was
Science has long been the target of conspiracy theories, some of which have persisted for centuries. A man who remains convinced that the Earth is flat intends to prove it once and for all, and an ...
On a flat Earth, a Sun that shines in all directions would illuminate the entire surface at the same time, and all places would experience sunrise and sunset at the horizon at about the same time.
