The final experiment

The Final Experiment is said to be a way to settle the shape of the Earth debate, created by Will Duffy, a pastor of a small church outside Denver, Colorado.

Will claims that Both the flat earth side and the globe side agree that whether or not there is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica will confirm if we live on a flat plane or on a globe. A 24-hour sun cannot work on a flat plane in the south. And the sun cannot set on a globe during the southern summer.

This notion is currently in debate, but let's be clear:

An observation is not an Experiment.
You cannot determine the shape of the dirt by looking into the sky.
