noun Astroeschatology
belief in or support for any worldview other than cosmocentrism (such as anthropocentrism or geocentrism), namely to suggest that doing so maintains humanity’s state in the Antipode (opposed to the centrality of the astronomical world) hence such a position holds negative consequences for transcension.
