The Final Experiment: Flat-Earthers See the Never-Setting Sun in Antarctica

A Journey‍ to ⁢the ‍End of the Flat Earth: The⁣ “Last Experiment”​

In an ‍audacious attempt to challenge⁤ their deeply⁣ held beliefs, a ​group of‌ flat-earth proponents embarked on a daring expedition to Antarctica. Led by Pastor Willa⁣ Duffy and joined by four prominent figures within the flat-earth community, the‌ expedition ⁢sought to confront their convictions with real-world⁣ evidence. The ⁢group, invested $35,000 per person—courtesy of a company specializing in Antarctic adventures—for​ their journey. Every moment ⁢of this exceptional trip was meticulously documented and broadcast live to the ⁣world via the Starlink network.

Pastor Duffy meticulously prepared for this mission,⁢ ready to directly⁣ challenge the flat-earthers with a series of carefully crafted arguments. He addressed their claims head-on, dispelling myths about the impossibility of reaching Antarctica by air, concerns about pre-recorded or edited footage,‍ and even the suggestion that ‍NASA would create artificial clouds to‌ obscure the sun.

But did this firsthand experience sway the flat-earth advocates? The expedition yielded ⁣surprising ‌results,⁤ revealing​ the tenacity of their convictions. ” **None of ‌the proponents ⁢of the​ flat earth theory have fundamentally changed their position. Although they admitted‌ that ‍the sun⁣ really moves over Antarctica exactly as its movement is described by models of a geoid⁣ globe with an inclined axis of rotation,‍ they do not consider‍ this to⁣ be ‌proof of⁤ the roundness⁣ of the Earth.**” Even Jeran ‌Campanella, one of the most well-known flat-earthers, conceded that⁢ his previous ‌understanding of the⁣ sun’s behavior was inaccurate. “I ‌was wrong about the ‍sun not setting,” he admitted, but proceeded to invite his followers to draw their own‍ conclusions about the implications for their shared beliefs.⁢ ⁣Another prominent flat-earther, Austin ⁤Whitsitt, echoed this sentiment. It seems that the ⁤”Last experiment,” though revealing in its own⁤ right, was merely ​another chapter in the ongoing debate about the⁣ shape of our world.
