Kudos to him for changing his mind. It takes courage to admit when we're wrong.Jeran Campanella, a well-known flat Earth YouTuber, recently admitted he was wrong about a major flat Earth claim after a 9,000-mile journey to Antarctica. The trip, organized by Colorado pastor Will Duffy, aimed to settle the Earth’s shape debate by taking flat Earthers and globe believers to witness the Antarctic midnight sun.Campanella spent $37,700 on the expedition, which live-streamed breathtaking Antarctic landscapes and the phenomenon of a 24-hour sun—something only possible on a tilted, rotating spherical Earth. “I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun… I now believe there is,” he admitted.While this was a significant concession, Campanella hesitated to fully endorse the globe model, saying, “I won’t say the Earth is a perfect sphere.” He also acknowledged that the experience debunked the Azimuthal Equidistant map often used in flat Earth theories, leaving the movement’s beliefs further in question.The experiment, which also disproved claims that civilians are barred from Antarctica, may not convince all flat Earthers, but Campanella’s admission marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing tension between science and conspiracy.
