It’s not about which model one “likes” best, or “prefers”, it’s about which model is NOT INVALIDATED by the actual MEASUREMENTS-if ANY model actually remains NOT INVALIDATED: Yes, it’s about INVALIDATION, not “validation”.

[@youtub-fj8mu]

"Yes, it’s about INVALIDATION, not “validation”." I'm gonna use this phrase so much in the future

[@chloewright1]

Hope you all have a great, safe trip 🙏❤️

[@Daynagator]

Prayers for a safe and successful final experiment that has finally arrived! Soli Deo Gloria!

[@juliabowler498]

Another example of why Antarctica is not a holiday resort 🥶

[@GlobetruthFU]

Credit to you for taking on this entire venture.

[@oldschoolwarrior]

You have so much hope that this will bridge the divide. Flat earthers are about disputing everything. This will just fuel more conspiracy theories, not more collaboration, unfortunately.

[@Loki-]

There's no use being a doom sayer either.

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

Some balloons pop, others leak over time. This is causing a leak. The flat Earthers will slowly lose steam as this will be a tailspin for their beliefs where there's zero possibility of recovery.

[@oldschoolwarrior]

@ Unfortunately, experience backs this up.

[@MartinBgelund]

I'm shocked. No flat earthers did their own research this early morning? They must be so enlightened and knowledgeable that they don't have to.

[@BrianForTheWin]

Duffy about to get the award for the most expensive own ever… and I absolutely applaud him for it. The conspiracy “community” is an absolute cancer on human society, and the more of these things that can be exposed as the absurdities they are, the better. Bravo Will!

[@BricsCollapse]

It is a cancer mostly for Western and its economy: I wonder how much Russian misinformation is playing behind this phenomenon.

[@arteckjay6537]

​@BricsCollapse I'm imagining that the anti-authorian sentiment behind nearly every conspiracy theory could potentially be foreign misinformation, but that's about the extent of it. The specifics of each conspiracy are just home-grown ignorance lol.

[@corrupted_realm]

This perspective is incorrect, as many "conspiraces" have proven true over time, many times. It's not an either or scenario. Ignorant comment

[@arteckjay6537]

@corrupted_realm Given there are hundreds of conspiracy theories, and you claim that many have been proven to be true, would you mind listing about 20? Not nearly enough to be classified as "many", but it would establish the claim that they're proven.

[@MakeCommonSenseCommonAgain]

Also: During, or on the way back: Gather Data about the Stars, the constellations and compare and contrast them to when you're back home, to see what model they align with. Thank you again Will!

[@13thOmenBand]

Flight radar shows they are over the Antarctic peninsula and landing in an hour :)

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

I believe they have been there a while according to their individual trackers on the TFE website.

[@truthcooperator4683]

Loved this ❤ will share. Wishing you a safe trip, great fun and successful collection of all the proof you set out to gather.

3 cameras...10 hours of footage a piece, additional 2 hours for the new camera after 8 hours of stream for overlap. However you do it, the overlap is vital for the stream. It eliminates low-information excuses. Good luck and be safe.

[@maxm3522]

Already setting up the 24 hour moon to be the next final (final) experiment. Everyone loves a sequel! 😀

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

He knows people there now that live there full time, and they are filming the moon on Dec 25th or thereabouts when it is up. He will have the video soon.

[@1GODISNOWHERE1]

Well done Will! Incredible accomplishment getting prominent Globe and Flat earthers to Antarctica to see, side by side, the 24 hour sun!

[@RealGhoda]

At the time of this comment, they have touched down in antarctica

[@whileistaysecluded]

You’re a legend for doing this. However I don’t have high hopes, I’m anticipating the goal post being moved..

[@MrGrumblier]

According to the trackers, as of 8:12 AM EST, Everyone is at the airport except for Jeran, whose tracker shows him still at the hotel, and whoever has the tracker that looks like a guy in a snow suit. Witsit's tracker is still downtown.. Did the Flerfs bail at the last minute or are they being transported separately?

[@Szeru]

also thinking about this. Maybe they left later, or something. This GPS works well... BUT the updates are reeeeeeaaaalllly rare. I think that should be updated every few min. and not like once every 4h...

[@rarespiritwendy]

My Map isn't updating at all. :(

[@ncs9667]

Still no movement from them, everyone else's trackers have shown movement except those 3.

[@attila0323]

Maybe they turned off the tracker. Don't know how it works exactly, but maybe they just don't want to be tracked all the time.

[@BrendaCreates]

The trackers don't update in real time.

[@Gon3Psychotic]

Literally half way there the flight as I checked now. They will have the land in sight very soon , if not already and then they fly for a other few hours over amazing landscapes hehee so exited

[@eleventhchimp]

I bet Flatzoid believes there has to be a star at the axis of rotation for it to be a celestial pole.

[@barryon8706]

That's depressingly likely.

[@andrewjohnston6631]

He has variously claimed that: - it’s just a point in the sky that the rotation is attributed to - it’s not a star - it’s a star that’s hard to see He says that the Southern Cross just moves across the sky.

[@andersmartensson8659]

Wow! Cool, so cool! About the sun set and sun up, welcome to Sweden during summer, and you will, in June, have about the same experience with short nights. I guess it would be a bit warmer too. :) But very cool with the information about the temperature in the plane.

[@GlauBueller-qp8ne]

Just do your thing. Do the planned experiments. Record what you can record despite the discourse that has been happening. Make sure the flerfs are asked to be part of the experiments so there is no excuse. Science isn't worried about "Hit pieces." YOU ARE DOING A GOOD THING AND A GREAT JOB.

[@billionllc]

Will, this is getting more and more exciting

[@1GODISNOWHERE1]

Dud you catch the suggestion for Mike? Thought of it during his livestream last night. Photograph every page of his journal and upload those to his email server so there's a digital copy in case something happens to his book.

[@Sembazuru]

When Flatzoid was talking (trash) about there not being a "Southern Celestial Pole", I wonder if he was short-handing and leaving off the word "Star"... The closest star to the southern celestial pole (Sigma Octantis) is about 1° away from the Actual center of rotation. But not even Polaris is directly on the northern celestial pole, it is about 2/3° from the Actual center of rotation.

[@nullx8]

i have a strong feeling the flerfs gonna photobomb the footage as much as possible so they can claim copyright and prevent the evidence to come out. (that certainly would explain the drama from the day before)

[@jamierichardson7683]

Is the drama online yet?

[@RascalKyng]

Nah, they might be "flerfs" but they actually have good character. (Family people, Dads, etc).

[@nullx8]

​@@jamierichardson7683 not yet, McToon and Nick mentioned it, thats it, it will unfold once footage comes out that destroys them.

[@nullx8]

@@RascalKyng yes some certainly do/have no doubt. i'm just wildly speculating on how they gonna move the goalpost next month ;)

[@kevinvanhorn2193]

@@RascalKyng No, they don't have good character. Jeran has promoted flat out lies, claiming that ALL data and schematics were lost from ALL Apollo missions. Witsit is the most glib speaker of mock-physics I've ever encountered, spinning out nonsense that literally has no meaning whatsoever but sounds impressive to anyone who doesn't know physics. There's no way he believes what he says, because, again, much of the time what he says is literally meaningless, just a bunch of impressive-sounding words strung together.

[@jordannoonan3015]

I live at 51⁰ north latitude and we are currently experiencing just shy of 16.5 hours of night. So being in Punta Arenas at 53⁰ south latitude and experiencing 17 hours of day light completely makes logical sense on a globe

[@RealityCheckThat]

Just getting to Punta Arenas and ready to board a flight to Antarctica has proven so many FE claims false that most FE'ers should be jumping ship, but I don't see it. The very fact that the days are longer in Punta Arenas is a huge conflict with the flat earth model. On the flat earth model the days near the "border" of the flat earth should be shorter rather than longer as compared with northern latitudes. I'm already quite certain that the vast majority of flat earthers are not going to accept the results and will just invent alternative explanations to support their baby - the flat earth.

[@peronkop]

The regular flerfs are not going to invent anything. Its the liars that do that. They invent 100 explanations and wait to see which ones stick and then run with those ones. Yes, multiple explanations, since no flerf model is the other alike.

[@stauffap]

Have fun! What an incredible experience!

[@chrrissss]

The comments section on the live stream was truly bizarre, there’s no doubt flat earthers have real mental health problems

[@thisiswhereidied3054]

Mind telling me where I can find the VOD?

[@lalitagrace8888]

Thank you for doing this 🙏🏽💚

[@lucascollins7214]

I would think 17 hours of daylight would be more than enough data to prove the earth isn’t flat.

[@sphaera2520]

You got some flatties arguing daylight isn’t from the sun, so evidently not.

[@vizvizvizvizviz]

yup, and every house builder in the southern hemisphere, south of the Tropic of Capricorn, knows that the sun comes in their south facing windows at dawn and dusk at the height of their summer. I mean, 600 million people in the south already know, that either the earth is a ball, or that the southern AE map works for them. But not the Gleeson.

[@patu8010]

Yeah, how is that supposed to work on a flat earth? The sun illuminates almost 3/4 of the southern hemisphere at all times?

[@bowevanko450]

24hr SUN, not LIGHT, is the prediction.

[@jamezbond78]

​@@patu8010take a look at the Gleason map, it shows the light distribution at different times of the year. I believe this is partly explained by the refraction.

[@robertharvey1]

good luck to you all again, hope all goes well for you.

[@leonchester9202]

Will did Flatzoid give any reason why he hasnt attempted to film or photograph the south celestial pole himself? If I can see it from Australia, he can see it from South Africa

[@andrewjohnston6631]

A couple of months ago he bought a camera so he could make observations, including the night sky in his location. We are yet to see his footage of stars not rotating around the south celestial pole.

[@christianriedel1357]

I'm a bit late, but wishing you good luck!
