-**Fabricated Planets** is a potentially infinite set of planets that do not exist in space, but are instead conjured by someone's imagination.
-Fabricated Planets have several properties:
-  * they do not need to obey the laws of physics
-  * they can be named without consulting official astronomical institutions
-  * they can be gifted to friends and spouses at will
-  * once a fabricated planet is created, it cannot be un-created
-The latter point was of some interest to the [[Slow Club]], who have deliberated on the matter till late at night.
-Consider Bob inventing a planet, calling it [[Narimba]] and depicting it as a small greenish sphere, made up of thick gases. Can that planet now be destroyed? Since it did not exist to begin with, the question becomes, to quote philosopher [[Dan Dindridge]], "confusing as fuck very quickly".
-Some philosophers argue that within the framework of the author's imagination, the destruction of Narimba should be possible. However, since a spin-off of the made-up story is always possible, even if Bob says that in his imagined universe Narimba is no more, what if his friend Tom creates a spin-off universe, in which Narimba is revived? Dan Dindringe believes that no one should care.
