A prominent YouTuber and advocate for the Flat Earth theory has publicly admitted he was wrong after participating in a experiment in Antarctica, designed to settle the age old debate on the planet's shape.
The project, titled The Final Experiment, involved a collaboration between Flat Earthers and Round Earthers. Their goal was to observe a 24 hour sun in Antarctica, a phenomenon that can only occur on a spherical Earth. The presence of continuous sunlight during the Antarctic summer would serve as definitive proof that the planet is round.
The group, which included various content creators, travelled thousands of kilometres to Antarctica earlier this month to conduct the test. The journey, funded by Round Earther Will Duffy, cost approximately €10,000. The presence of a 24-hour sun was confirmed during the experiment, delivering evidence that is impossible to reconcile with the Flat Earth model, which asserts that the Earth is a flat disc.
One of the participants, Jeran Campanella, known for his YouTube channel Jeranism, has been a prominent voice in the Flat Earth community. However, after witnessing the 24-hour sun firsthand, Campanella admitted he had been mistaken. Speaking during a livestream, he stated,
Campanella elaborated on his shift in perspective, saying,
Despite his admission, Campanella expressed awareness of the backlash he would likely face from the Flat Earth community, stating,
The phenomenon of the 24-hour sun occurs during the summer months in polar regions due to the Earth’s axial tilt. In Antarctica, this means the Sun remains visible above the horizon for an entire day, an occurrence that is impossible on a flat plane.
While the overwhelming majority of people accept the scientific consensus that the Earth is a sphere, experiments like The Final Experiment aim to provide direct evidence for sceptics. For Jeran Campanella, the journey to Antarctica has marked a significant turning point, as he publicly acknowledged the reality of the Earth’s shape.
This admission serves as a rare example of a conspiracy theorist reconsidering their stance in the face of undeniable evidence, highlighting the importance of first hand observation and open minded discussion.

"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 for being a stand-up guy – at least in the way that he kept saying it was true, I kept saying it wasn’t."
Campanella elaborated on his shift in perspective, saying,
"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."
Despite his admission, Campanella expressed awareness of the backlash he would likely face from the Flat Earth community, stating,
"I realise that I’ll be called a shill 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."
