🌍 The final experiment has occurred after 6 months of anticipation. Duffy's team aimed to deliver a decisive blow to the Flat Earth theory.

❌ However, they did not measure the globe's curvature, film a convex horizon, or create a model of water on a spinning ball. Instead, they constructed a strawman experiment that failed to provide any convincing evidence.

🛑 The results of this experiment have not changed any minds in the Flat Earth community. Critics argue that the experiment conflated celestial observations with terrestrial foundations, claiming that the motion of celestial bodies does not prove the shape of the Earth.

🌞 Duffy's team traveled to Antarctica to film the Midnight Sun, but this did not convince Flat Earthers to abandon their beliefs. The argument is likened to measuring ceiling lights instead of the floor dimensions.

🔍 There are concerns about the footage, including anomalies like the unexpected change in shadow length during filming. This raises skepticism about the authenticity of the results.

🌐 Even if the footage is genuine, it does not change the Flat Earth perspective: water remains level, the horizon is flat, and there is no measurable curvature. The motion of celestial bodies cannot prove the shape of the ground.

📚 The Flat Earth community has models explaining the 24-hour sun phenomenon, including historical works and recent demonstrations using light projections. These models provide alternative explanations that challenge the heliocentric view.

🌌 Observations of the sun and stars vary based on the observer's location, reinforcing the idea that celestial movements do not determine the Earth's shape. The final experiment is seen as an appeal to the sky fallacy, failing to address the core arguments of Flat Earth theory.

🤔 Duffy himself admitted that the experiment did not disprove Flat Earth, acknowledging the existence of variables that could affect celestial observations.
