The Final Experiment

People do go deep into Antarctica.

In December of 2024, a project called the Final Experiment brought Flat Earth proponents and Globe Earth proponents to Antarctica to test one of the most famous claims in the debate.

They did not stay on the peninsula.

They flew to Union Glacier, deep inside West Antarctica.

The Antarctic 24-hour sun.

During the southern summer, the sun can stay above the horizon all day in parts of Antarctica far enough south.

no sunset just the sun that moves around the sky and never disappears and for years many flat earth arguments had treated that as a serious problem because on the classic north centered flat earth model the sun circles above the plane that model can explain continuous daylight around the north pole much more easily than continuous daylight around the far southern perimeter so a challenge emerged stop arguing about diagrams go to antarctica watch the sun the That became the final experiment.

Organizers invited well-known people from both sides of the debate.

And to his credit, he figured it out.

His name is Will Duffy, and he organized and funded a trip that he called The Final Experiment.

And the genius of the whole thing is the setup.

He brought along committed flat Earthers and globe believers together in the same spot in Antarctica to witness the same sky with their own eyes.
