Flat Earther goes on Antarctica expedition to prove theory only to discover it’s actually round

Flat Earther goes on Antarctica expedition to prove theory only to discover it’s actually round

At least the YouTuber was able to admit his error

A popular YouTuber and 'Flat Earther' travelled all the way to Antarctica to put his theories to the test - only to realise the planet is very much round.

Many pseudoscience and conspiracy theories have come and go over the years, but none have quite had the same staying power as the 'Flat Earth' theory.

Human understanding that our home planet is very much round dates all the way back to ancient Greek philosophers; however, the overwhelming evidence has never stopped those who believe we live on a giant floating circle from sharing their beliefs.

But nobody has ever really been able to convince a Flat Earther that some of their views may not be entirely accurate... until now.

Enter The Final Experiment, a collaborative project between Flat Earther's and Round Earther's willing to settle the debate once and for all.

The test is simple, the group - which compromises of various YouTubers - travelled all the way to Antarctica this month with the goal of observing a 24-hour sun on the continent.

The presence of a 24-hour sun would definitively prove the world is round as the phenomena would simply not exist on a Flat Earth.

The results are now in, proving that (spoiler alert) the planet has always been and always will be a round, 3D ball.

Most of us knew this anyway, however, that's not the point of the experiment.

So how did the Flat Earth contingent react to the news you ask? Try and deny what had occurred or even claim they hadn't been taken to Antarctica?

Well not this time, as content creator Jeran Campanella reluctantly admitted that he was wrong on camera.

Campanella, who is known for his channel Jeranism, has been an outspoken voice on the Flat Earth scene and agreed to go on the expensed trip to settle the debate.

Appearing on a livestream after witnessing the 24-hour sun, Campanella told the camera: "Alright guys, sometimes you are wrong in life."

"I thought that there was no 24-hour sun, in fact I was pretty sure of it, but I respect Will Duffy [the 'glober' who paid for his trip] for being a standup guy - at least in the way that he kept saying it was true, I kept saying it wasn't."

Explaining on how his views had now changed, Campanella added: "Don't listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn't matter to you - but at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said, as far as circles the southern continent.

"So that's about it, I realise that I'll be called a shill [an ex-Flat Earther who tries to convince others the world is round] for just saying that and you know what, if you're a shill for being honest so be it - I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun... I honestly now believe there is. That's it."

Debate settled.
