Hop on a plane, and fly to Cape Town, South Africa, or Melbourne, Australia - two major cities located in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s definitely one of the more unusual conspiracy theories and, judging by what the scientists are saying, it’s just as well it’s not real.Do you want to prove that the Earth is round?

Those living near the central hole would also experience multiple seasons, meaning in theory, it could snap into winter in the middle of July. Violent, strong wind and weather conditions would also be an issue with a horus-shaped planet.Ĭlouds on a donut-shaped planet could be up to three times taller than on our Earth and gravity would be weaker in the inside and on the outside of the ring. Thanks to the unique shape of a donut, the seasons would vary massively in different parts of the world due to the angle at which the sun is hitting it. Scientists, however, have debunked the theory saying that a torus-shaped Earth wouldn’t allow us to have night and day as we know it, or sunrises and sunsets. I have been promoting it for a long time but nobody ever seems to back me up. Some YouTube videos have taken the opportunity to satirically explain Donut Earth Theory, others seem to agree with Varaug’s theory, as one person replied: 'I am glad to see other supporters of toroidal earth theory here. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletterĪccording to forum user Varaug, we don’t know the hole in the torus-shaped earth exists because, “light bends and follows the curvature of the torus, making the hole ‘unseeable’”.

However, some have now earnestly run with the idea, trying to find scientific explanations for how this could realistically be the case.
