The Final Experiment Concludes...

Yeah, and so just to be clear, the reason you, uh, picked Antarctica, why, why this makes a lot of sense is because if you believe in the flat Earth, you think you have a sunrise and a sunset pretty much anywhere you're at, right? But it turns out Antarctica has periods during the year where you have a 24-hour sun, and they deny that that happens.

Yes.

So this is a really cool phenomenon in the world, which is something known as the 24-hour sun or the midnight sun.

And the reason they call it the midnight sun is because there are places on Earth where the sun is still up at midnight, meaning it never sets during the day, hence the name 24-hour sun.

Now, people are mostly familiar with this in the Northern Hemisphere, and so we have something called the Arctic Circle, and we have something called the Antarctic Circle.

Again, these are things that only exist on the globe that the flat Earthers steal and put on their map, which make no sense on their map.

So the Arctic Circle, that's the one that most people are familiar with, and the reason why is because a vast majority of the population on Earth lives in the Northern Hemisphere.

I think it's 90% of the world's population lives north of the equator.

So the Arctic Circle represents when you can go far enough north in the Northern Hemisphere and have, uh, this 24-hour sun at certain times of the year.

And so based upon the axial tilt of the Earth, so the, the Earth is tilted at about 23 degrees on its axis-

Yep

... means that when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, you get days where the sun never sets because of that tilt.

It's something super easy to demonstrate in, like, a dark closet with just a plastic globe and a flashlight, but it's a little bit hard to visualize.

But if you shine a flashlight on a tilted globe in a dark closet, it's a- actually a really good homeschool experiment that I've done with my kids.

Half the globe is gonna light up.

Now you spin it, and when the Earth is tilted toward the, the, the light, the flashlight, and you spin it, there's a top part that's always lit up.

It never gets dark, even when it's away from the sun because of the tilt.

The tilt brings that further part of the Earth in line with that light.

And so that's what creates the Arctic Circle, and that's what creates the 24-hour sun.

Now, the opposite happens in the southern summer, which is December.

Most of us in the Northern Hemisphere think of June, July, and August as, as summer, but in the southern summer, now the Southern Hemisphere is what's tilted towards the sun and angled toward the sun, and they have the exact same 24-hour sun in Antarctica.

Now, on the flat Earth map, that's impossible because they make Antarctica so big and the sun has to travel and not only light up Antarctica each day, but light up every single continent.

Because unless you're in the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle at the right time of year, everybody every day has a sunrise and a sunset, they have a period of day, and they have a period of darkness.

And so this 24-hour sun in Antarctica ended up being the key thing that we used with The Final Experiment to show once and for all that flat Earth is completely wrong because they can't have that on their model.

They denied that it existed.
