The Premise and Controversy
“WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?” is a comprehensive eight-hour video essay that takes its audience on an enlightening, albeit controversial, journey through theories and concepts that challenge our accepted scientific understanding of the world. The video is divided into 11 parts, each focusing on a different aspect of our reality and the potential misconceptions propagated by society.
Questioning Our Basic Understanding
The first 15 minutes of the video set the stage for the viewer, provoking questions about our basic understanding of Earth and its place in the universe. The narrator introduces concepts that question the Earth’s motion, the authenticity of images of Earth from space, the nature of gravity, and certain biological and geographical anomalies. The video then introduces the Flat Earth Society, a group that proposes that Earth is a flat, stationary plane rather than a spherical, revolving planet.
Challenging Accepted Geographical Models
In the “Of Maps and Magicians” section, the video presents Alex Gleason’s 1892 New Standard Map of the World as evidence supporting the Flat Earth Theory. Gleason’s map shows the North Pole in the center of the Earth, with the South Pole as an encompassing ice ring around the Earth. The video compares this representation with conventional world maps, questioning the legitimacy of our accepted geographical model.
Delving into NASA’s Authenticity
The video doesn’t stop at questioning the shape of the Earth. It delves into the authenticity of NASA’s space missions, particularly the Apollo missions to the moon. Through an examination of video footage and images released by NASA, the presenter suggests that there may be inconsistencies and potential evidence of image manipulation.
Exploring Conspiracy Theories and Institutional Infiltration
This presentation then goes on to discuss historical and societal changes in “Infiltration Instead of Invasion” and “The Red Shield.” It ventures into the realms of conspiracy theories, discussing potential infiltration of institutions and the implications of such actions on our understanding of reality.
The Concept of Alternate Realities
The video continues with “Eyes Wide Open” and “The Looking Glass,” which delve into even more esoteric ideas, suggesting the existence of alternate realities and the possibility of accessing these realities.
Societal Reactions and Earth’s Energy Fields
In “PANIC!,” the video discusses societal reactions to these alternate theories, while “The Energetic Earth” looks at the potential of Earth’s energy fields, and the implications this could have on our understanding of the planet.
Examining Biological Understanding and Life
“The Bumblebee & the Hexagon” and “The Last Word” examine the effects of these theories on our understanding of biology and life as we know it, suggesting that there may be much more to our existence than we currently comprehend.
The Strengths and Shortcomings of the Video
Despite the video’s length and occasionally controversial content, it manages to keep the audience engaged by steadily introducing new concepts and providing alternative perspectives on accepted theories. Its strength lies in its ability to provoke thought and stimulate intellectual curiosity. However, the video does have its shortcomings. The evidence presented is often anecdotal and lacks rigorous scientific proof, which could alienate viewers who value empirical data. Furthermore, the video occasionally veers into conspiracy theory territory, which might deter some viewers.
