YouTuber spends ₹31 lakh to show Earth is flat. This was the end result
Standard ‘Flat Earther’ Jeran Campanella has deserted his long-held beliefs after a expensive and eye-opening journey to Antarctica. The YouTuber, identified for selling Flat Earth theories, spent almost $37,000 ( ₹31.4 lakh) to journey from California to the southernmost continent in an try to show that Earth is flat, solely to return with a wholly new perspective on the form of our planet.
Campanella, who had been a vocal advocate of the speculation that Antarctica is merely an “ice wall” on the fringe of the flat Earth, had been satisfied that the Solar’s actions within the southern hemisphere adopted a really totally different sample. Earlier than embarking on his expedition, he was sure that the Solar in Antarctica didn’t rise and set because it does in the remainder of the world, as an alternative remaining stationary or following a wholly totally different path.
Nonetheless, upon reaching the icy expanse of Antarctica, Campanella’s beliefs had been shattered. The YouTuber found that, in the course of the southern hemisphere’s summer time, the Solar stays seen for twenty-four hours a day, a phenomenon often known as the ‘Midnight Solar’, which happens solely in polar areas of a spherical Earth.
“Generally you might be unsuitable in life,” Campanella admitted to his viewers in a video following the journey. “I assumed there was no 24-hour Solar. In actual fact, I used to be fairly positive of it.”
Regardless of his previous certainties, Campanella humbly acknowledged his error, stating, “I realise that I will be known as a shill for simply saying that. And you understand what, for those who’re a shill for being trustworthy, so be it.”

He additional defined that the expertise had pressured him to rethink his total worldview, significantly the thought of the Azimuthal Equidistant (AE) map, a key piece of Flat Earth idea. “To me, it implies that the AE map not works,” he stated. “However that does not imply that I am proper.”
The Remaining Experiment
Campanella’s shift in perspective comes amid ongoing efforts by sceptics to confront and dispel Flat Earth theories. One such initiative, known as ‘The Remaining Experiment’, was conceived by Colorado pastor Will Duffy, who sought to finish the talk about Earth’s form as soon as and for all.
The formidable expedition noticed 4 Flat Earthers and 4 “Globe Earthers” flown to Antarctica to witness the Midnight Solar phenomenon firsthand.
The success of ‘The Remaining Experiment’ additionally disproves claims by Flat Earthers that civilians are forbidden from visiting Antarctica underneath the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, which some had argued was a part of a world conspiracy to cover the true form of the Earth. In actuality, the Treaty permits for tourism and analysis, and ‘The Remaining Experiment’ proved that strange folks can entry the continent with out restriction.
