Event Planners Select Rotunda for Conference Whose Participants Have Theological Objections to Rotundas
PARIS — The third annual Reunion Francophone des Chercheurs de Verite Plate, a gathering of approximately eighty French-speaking flat earth researchers and theorists, was held at the Planetarium de la Villette conference facility due to a booking error made by the event’s volunteer administrator, who did not connect the facility name to the domed ceiling until delegates were already seated beneath it.
“The irony was noted,” confirmed organiser Bertrand Louvet, studying the curved ceiling with the expression of a man cataloguing evidence. “But the irony does not constitute proof. The ceiling is domed because domes are a stable architectural form, not because the architects were communicating a spherical Earth message.”
The Ceiling Discussion
Several delegates requested the session be moved. The facility offered the meeting room on the second floor, which has a flat ceiling. The session was moved. The second floor meeting room has windows facing the courtyard, through which the dome of the Planetarium is visible. This was noted. The curtains were closed. The discussion of Magellan’s circumnavigation continued in the modified environment without further architectural interference.
According to France’s CNRS physics and earth science research, the Earth’s spheroidal shape is established through multiple independent measurement methodologies including geodesy, satellite observation, and the physics of planetary formation. The reunion’s conclusions differ. The facility has offered a discount for next year’s booking. The flat ceiling meeting room is reserved.
