As he clicked on the "Next Page" button, Jeran Campanella eagerly readied himself for the next article. He was an avid believer in the flat earth theory, and nothing would stop him from spreading his beliefs. With his popular YouTube channel, aptly named "Jeranism," he had gained a large following of fellow flat earthers who shared his passion.
One of the main points of his theory was that Antarctica was not a continent, but rather an ice wall that surrounded the flat earth. Campanella was so convinced of this that he decided to embark on a journey to the coldest place on earth to prove his point. He was determined to show the world that the sun rises and sets on this ice wall every day.
But as he stood on the icy surface of Antarctica, Campanella couldn't believe what he was seeing. The sun was not rising and setting like he had believed. In fact, it never set at all during the southern hemisphere's summer. In a video posted after his visit, Campanella humbly admitted that he was wrong. "Sometimes in life, you have to admit when you're wrong. I was sure that there was no 24-hour sun in Antarctica, but I was proven otherwise."
With over 70,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, Campanella had gained a large audience who were just as convinced as he was about the flat earth theory. But now, he wanted to set the record straight. "The sun does, in fact, circle in the south. I'll let you figure out what that means for yourself," he stated in his video. "But one thing is for sure, the sun follows the same path that these guys have been saying all along - it circles the southern continent."
Despite his admission, Campanella made sure to clarify that he still believed in the flat earth theory. He had only agreed to the expensive trip to Antarctica because his friend had offered to pay for it. But now, he could say that he had seen it with his own eyes.
As he continued reading the article, Campanella couldn't help but think of the cost of his journey and the fact that his belief in the flat earth theory was still unchanged. He may have admitted that the sun does rise in the south, but he couldn't bring himself to accept that the world was round. He was still determined to spread his beliefs, even if it meant going against what he had seen with his own eyes.
Growing up with a map of the world, Campanella knew that Antarctica was the coldest continent on earth and was situated at the southernmost part of the planet. Due to the earth's tilt, the sun never sets during the southern hemisphere's summer, instead moving in a circular path in the sky. This phenomenon, known as the "midnight sun," was a clear indication that there was more to the shape of the earth than he had believed.
Despite the evidence, Campanella and other flat earthers had convinced themselves that Antarctica was simply an ice wall that surrounded the world and held in the oceans. They had also believed that the sun rose and set every day, regardless of the season. But with his recent admission, Campanella's followers may start to question the validity of their conspiracy theory.
