No, no, no. It's common sense. Most of the landmass is north of the equator, which makes it heavier so that it naturally sinks to the bottom. Try an experiment: glue a coin to a tennis ball and then drop it into a bucket of water. The side with the coin is heavier and ends up underneath.
The obvious conclusion is that North America, Asia and Europe are just so much ballast.

Ah, but, the only way to show a map or a globe with Australia "the right way up" (i.e., above the equator) is to show the confused continent then ~upside-down~ on that "reconstructionist" map or globe.
