The Sun Doesn't Set. Where Are the Flat Earth Believers?

The Sun Doesn't Set. Where Are the Flat Earth Believers?

Last week, an interesting event occurred. The owner of a YouTube channel popular among flat earthers conducted an experiment he called "The Final Experiment," which he broadcasted live on his channel. Jeran Campanella traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the South Pole and tested the concept of the sun never setting.

If the Earth is flat, there could be no such thing as 24-hour daylight, and Campanella thought this would be a great proof. He spent thousands of dollars, set up his cameras, and began the live broadcast. His goal was to put an end to the debates about whether the Earth is flat or not.

Those who claim the Earth is flat argue that its truth is protected by secret agreements and hidden armies. Therefore, going to Antarctica would, in a sense, disprove their views.

The live broadcast started with a magnificent view of the clear blue sky and the endless white horizon.

Throughout the 25-hour broadcast, the sun never set!
So, what happened next?

As you might expect, he admitted his mistake, was convinced by new information that the Earth is not flat, and decided to spend the rest of his life telling others about it...

Well! Actually, that didn't quite happen. ?‍♂️

At least he acknowledged he was wrong. "Sometimes in life, we can make mistakes. I thought there couldn’t be 24-hour daylight. In fact, I was absolutely certain of it," he said in his video.

But then he continued: "Still, I can't say that the Earth is a perfect sphere."

"Yes, some flat Earth maps are wrong in this situation. But that doesn’t mean I was unjustified."

"This doesn’t completely disprove the flat Earth hypothesis, nor does it prove that the Earth is spherical. I think this is just a single data observation."

It seems like the "Final Experiment" wasn’t really the final one.

The flat earthers who watched this experiment didn’t give up on their views in large numbers. They believed that Campanella, who conducted the broadcast, was a fraud. They claimed that globalists were involved in this and that it was all part of a big conspiracy, continuing on with their beliefs. Some even said they found a green screen in the video.

This event highlights the complexity of human nature at the intersection of science and personal belief. Despite the outcome of the experiment, most flat earthers insisted on not changing their views.

This situation shows how deeply beliefs can take root and how people construct their own realities. In my opinion, this experiment is not just a debate about the shape of the Earth, but a reminder that we must have the courage to face our own belief systems.

Science may not always offer definitive answers, but the process of questioning and learning itself is one of humanity's greatest discoveries.
