Five Scientific Explanations for Game of Thrones‘ Messed-Up Seasons

So when they show the map of the world in the opening credits does that imply their world is the inside of a Dyson sphere?

Yes .

Not a fan of that aspect .....

Why do you hate science?  Is it because science proved that your island is now under ten feet of water?

I don't know .
I'm just not keen on the concept .
I'm mean , straight off - shouldn't the horizon bend upwards from the observer ?

No more than it should bend downwards for us. If you believe all that round-earth nonsense, you Holocaust-denying global-warming denier, that is.

As for time - I suspect the stars do their yearly orbital thingy , hence "years" but not regular seasons .

Oh , and magic .

Hehe. I really don't know how viable it is.  Maybe it's more of the title designers' analogy that it's a self-contained ecosystem; a terrarium of sorts. 

If the world was actually be in a sphere could anyone explain this?

The commentary for one episode states they are in a Dyson Sphere and that the sun is an astro-lab .

Also , if you observe the edges of the map they curve upwards .

I can't wrap my head around it at times - I think when someone looks up they should be seeing the other side of the world hanging in the sky above ....

Scratch on the inside of the sphere, duh.

The sun is so bright it blots out the other side when you look up. At night, it is too dark to see the other side.

I guess the sphere would have to be big enough where we couldn't detect the curvature, or see where it rises.  Maybe something like Hollow Earth theory where we only have some five hundred miles of crust before reaching a whole new inner-world replete with a sun?
