And what the hell is there on Antartica?

Ice, mostly.

Why is it a military guarded area where tourists are not allowed?

Tourists are allowed.
It may cost you a bit more than rpietila round the world trip, but with a bit of motivation you can go to Antartica.

And why is North Pole also a restricted area? This is pissing me off. I want answers.

It's not. Going there is mostly a matter of having enough money.

(But obviously these are just scam sites designed to make me feel like it's actually possible to get there, when in fact all reservations are canceled at the last minute. Sure.)

I flew over the North Pole last year on my flight from LAX to Hyderabad, India. I was actually shocked to see where we were on the GPS map and it felt a bit unnerving to know I was so far from civilization if we needed to make an emergency landing.

I guess for some long haul flights going over the pole is a shorter distance though.

Not sure what all this discussion is about anyway? I suppose there is something to the thought that there are other dimensions that we are not aware of, but the earth is a sphere within the dimension we currently are experiencing. What more is out there? We will find out after death I believe. I just finished a book called "Imagine Heaven" by John Burke that speaks of NDE's and touches on extra dimensions people have encountered and it is exciting to ponder what more there is beyond what we see in our current physical state.
