After a $35,000 trip to Antarctica, a conspiracy theorist admits the Earth is not flat

Like 16 percent of Americans, Jeran Campanella was convinced, against all scientific evidence, that the Earth is flat.

It took a $35,000 trip to Antarctica to shake up his beliefs, which he had zealously defended for ten years on his 164,000-subscriber YouTube channel “Jeranism.”

"The sun is doing exactly what these guys said, in terms of encircling the southern continent," he admits in a live YouTube video, filmed on Saturday, December 14, in front of a scientific base in Antarctica.

Jeran Campanella, who went there as part of a project called the "Ultimate Experiment," bringing together supporters of the "flat Earth" and the round Earth, aimed to verify whether the sun was present in the sky 24 hours a day.

According to the flat Earth theory, the latter would be a disk bounded by the "wall" of Antarctica.

Above, a celestial dome, similar to a snow globe, would include the Sun, Moon, and stars.

The solar star would make one revolution in 24 hours, which explains the play of shadows, creating day and night.

This belief was challenged by an observation made by an American conspiracy theorist: the sun shines constantly at the South Pole.

Why? Because the Earth is spherical, the sun remains visible in the sky even at midnight in this territory, during the southern summer (December-January). A phenomenon that is commonly called the "midnight sun".

"Well guys, sometimes we make mistakes in life," says Jeran Campanella in his video. "I was pretty sure there wasn't 24-hour sunshine," he justifies, aware that he risks being "called a charlatan."

In 2018, Jeran Campanella already appeared in a very successful American documentary, "Behind the Curve".

The filmmaker set out to meet the community of "flat Earth" theorists, convinced that there is a global conspiracy to make people believe that the Earth is round. Six years later, Jeran Campanella has apparently changed sides.
