== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos.&lt;br /&gt;
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, only he has the correct understanding of any physical phenomenon. He will proudly proclaim this and ignore any authoritative citation you can give.&lt;br /&gt;

== Examples of Bizarre Ideas ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How Lenses Work ===&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is very expert at optics. Telescope lenses &#039;bend light down&#039;, apparently making distant object lower than they are. Theodolites therefore are unreliable instruments. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Angle of Elevation comments on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sunsets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reading AoE&#039;s explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here&#039;s a transcript from his video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0N5AJ8LUo Optical Occultation of the Sun].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I&#039;ve heard many people ask, &#039;how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?&#039; Frankly, the common answer the received from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it, you&#039;re going to see the beauty of its simplicity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and &#039;confident wrongness&#039; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many flat earthers claim the horizon is the limit of perspective and that things converge at the horizon. They are only partially correct. Most things we see are 3D (they have three dimensions), those being height, width and depth. While they are all of equal importance, they do not operate the same. Hold a cube to your eye and identify all three of those dimensions. Notice the height and width are straight and perpendicular to each other, but not depth. It is at an angle; this is called optically rising. You know the bottom of that cube is flat in reality but you don&#039;t perceive it that way. Your brain interprets the incident angle of the reflected light received by your eye and perceives it as optically rising depth. This effect has a limit according to distance. The science that is known as the Rayleigh criteria which is the diffraction limit but really what is the limit of your depth perspective. We call it the horizon which is always at your eye height unless diffracted down by glasses...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Equator is a Meridian; caught in a lie ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time now AoE has been saying that great circles of the spherical Earth, and specifically the Equator, are all meridians, a term reserved for lines of longitude. A simple factual error you might think and not one to double down on. But double down he does, and it&#039;s a hard one to understand.&lt;br /&gt;
This came up again on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589, where AoE duly came up with a citation that he said supported his view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block;font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The YouTube account of Pete-s6z8l has been blocked by the oh-so fragile egoed Nathan &#039;Slappy&#039; Oakley. This and other comments by him, and any other comments in reply to him, have disappeared from Oakley&#039;s content.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Note that his source is the search engine Google, and the lack of a closing quotation mark. He refused to clarify his source, or indeed to discuss the matter anymore. A little digging was needed.&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for his quote &amp;quot;The equatorial meridian is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern .&amp;quot; yielded no exact, or even close results. However, replacing &#039;&#039;equatorial meridian&#039;&#039; with &#039;&#039;equator&#039;&#039; returns this in the second hit:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is Google&#039;s extract from a web page at [https://www.askfilo.com askfilo.com]. Had he bothered to look at the actual website and not just Google&#039;s extract, he&#039;d have had the complete sentence, including the word &#039;&#039;hemispheres&#039;&#039; at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like AoE&lt;br /&gt;
* Googled &#039;equator&#039;,&lt;br /&gt;
* Found a short definition in the results,&lt;br /&gt;
* Didn&#039;t bother to look at the source website,&lt;br /&gt;
* Copied Google&#039;s extract,&lt;br /&gt;
* Substituted equator with Equatorial Meridian, &lt;br /&gt;
* Tried to pass it off as an authoritative definition.&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is always accusing people of &#039;making stuff up&#039;, which is clear projection.&lt;br /&gt;

==Introduction==&lt;br /&gt;
Brian became famous in the FE community when - as a practicing engineer - he posted several videos in a Balls Out Physics series where he ostensibly explained why physics proved the earth was flat. He relied on the physics of the motion of aircraft but made the simple mistake of not accounting for conservation of momentum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brian apparently became a concave earther at some point [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI9Jj3Gbhow Brother Earnest]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What he currently believes is unknown - he has attempted to wipe the internet of his Balls Out Physics series but it lives on in Flat Earth re postings - eg [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYEzK9HvAh5jI_Mr-w_6nscAUvhPHqBqc playlist by Darth Mojo Risin]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mullin the Engineer?===&lt;br /&gt;
Brian Mullin worked for areteengineers in 2021&lt;br /&gt;
https://areteengineers.com/about/ &lt;br /&gt;
At least he is on there web site as at 28/12/2021 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brian was reported to the state board of engineers by people that were concerned with his mental capacity and his ability to function as a structural engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A post on Bob the Science Guy (AKA ResearchFlatMoon) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzhA0ceareg &amp;quot;Rotating Airports | Brian Mullin] - 28/12/2021 by JimSmithInChiaps - He says that he was one of the people that reported Mullin to the state board of engineers - He told Mullin that he reported him and Mullin said that he welcomed the chance to present his FE view to his states board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Brians blurb at areteengineers.com====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brian has over 12 years of civil and structural engineering experience in the transportation, commercial, industrial, telecommunications, and residential sectors. He has extensive experience working with city and state agencies, as well as with architects, developers, and contractors. He is currently a professional engineer licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia. In the summer of 2017, Brian successfully completed the FHWA-NHI-13005 Safety Inspection of In-Service Highway Bridges to become a certified bridge safety inspector.&lt;br /&gt;

He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Sunsets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reading AoE&#039;s explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here&#039;s a transcript from his video &#039;Optical Occultation of the Sun&#039; ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0N5AJ8LUo]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I&#039;ve heard many people ask, &#039;how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?&#039; Frankly, the common answer the received from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it, you&#039;re going to see the beauty of its simplicity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and &#039;confident wrongness&#039; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many flat earthers claim the horizon is the limit of perspective and that things converge at the horizon. They are only partially correct. Most things we see are 3D (they have three dimensions), those being height, width and depth. While they are all of equal importance, they do not operate the same. Hold a cube to your eye and identify all three of those dimensions. Notice the height and width are straight and perpendicular to each other, but not depth. It is at an angle; this is called optically rising. You know the bottom of that cube is flat in reality but you don&#039;t perceive it that way. Your brain interprets the incident angle of the reflected light received by your eye and perceives it as optically rising depth. This effect has a limit according to distance. The science that is known as the Rayleigh criteria which is the diffraction limit but really what is the limit of your depth perspective. We call it the horizon which is always at your eye height unless diffracted down by glasses...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Equator is a Meridian; caught in a lie ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time now AoE has been saying that great circles of the spherical Earth, and specifically the Equator, are all meridians, a term reserved for lines of longitude. A simple factual error you might think and not one to double down on. But double down he does, and it&#039;s a hard one to understand.&lt;br /&gt;
This came up again on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589, where AoE duly came up with a citation that he said supported his view.&lt;br /&gt;

This and other comments by him, and any other comments in reply to him, have disappeared from Oakley&#039;s content.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Note that his source is the search engine Google, and the lack of a closing quotation mark. He refused to clarify his source, or indeed to discuss the matter anymore. A little digging was needed.&lt;br /&gt;
Searching for his quote &amp;quot;The equatorial meridian is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern .&amp;quot; yielded no exact, or even close results. However, replacing &#039;&#039;equatorial meridian&#039;&#039; with &#039;&#039;equator&#039;&#039; returns this in the second hit:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is Google&#039;s extract from a web page at [https://www.askfilo.com askfilo.com]. Had he bothered to look at the actual website and not just Google&#039;s extract, he&#039;d have had the complete sentence, including the word &#039;&#039;hemispheres&#039;&#039; at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like AoE&lt;br /&gt;
* Googled &#039;equator&#039;,&lt;br /&gt;
* Found a short definition in the results,&lt;br /&gt;
* Didn&#039;t bother to look at the source website,&lt;br /&gt;
* Copied Google&#039;s extract,&lt;br /&gt;
* Substituted equator with Equatorial Meridian, &lt;br /&gt;
* Tried to pass it off as an authoritative definition.&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is always accusing people of &#039;making stuff up&#039;, which is clear projection.&lt;br /&gt;

== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos.&lt;br /&gt;
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, only he has the correct understanding of any physical phenomenon. He will proudly proclaim this and ignore any authoritative citation you can give.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Angle of Elevation comments on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sunsets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reading AoE&#039;s explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here&#039;s a transcript from his video &#039;Optical Occultation of the Sun&#039; ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0N5AJ8LUo]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I&#039;ve heard many people ask, &#039;how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?&#039; Frankly, the common answer the received from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it, you&#039;re going to see the beauty of its simplicity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and &#039;confident wrongness&#039; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many flat earthers claim the horizon is the limit of perspective and that things converge at the horizon. They are only partially correct. Most things we see are 3D (they have three dimensions), those being height, width and depth. While they are all of equal importance, they do not operate the same. Hold a cube to your eye and identify all three of those dimensions. Notice the height and width are straight and perpendicular to each other, but not depth. It is at an angle; this is called optically rising. You know the bottom of that cube is flat in reality but you don&#039;t perceive it that way. Your brain interprets the incident angle of the reflected light received by your eye and perceives it as optically rising depth. This effect has a limit according to distance. The science that is known as the Rayleigh criteria which is the diffraction limit but really what is the limit of your depth perspective. We call it the horizon which is always at your eye height unless diffracted down by glasses...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Equator is a Meridian; caught in a lie ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time now AoE has been saying that great circles of the spherical Earth, and specifically the Equator, are all meridians, a term reserved for lines of longitude. A simple factual error you might think and not one to double down on. But double down he does, and it&#039;s a hard one to understand.&lt;br /&gt;
This came up again on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589, where AoE duly came up with a citation that he said supported his view.&lt;br /&gt;

Searching for his quote &amp;quot;The equatorial meridian is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern .&amp;quot; yielded no exact, or even close results. However, replacing &#039;&#039;equatorial meridian&#039;&#039; with &#039;&#039;equator&#039;&#039; returns this in the second hit:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth at 0 degrees latitude, dividing it into the Northern and Southern...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is Google&#039;s extract from a web page at askfilo.com [https://www.askfilo.com]. Had he bothered to look at the actual website and not just Google&#039;s extract, he&#039;d have had the complete sentence, including the word &#039;&#039;hemispheres&#039;&#039; at the end.&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like AoE&lt;br /&gt;
* Googled &#039;equator&#039;,&lt;br /&gt;
* Found a short definition in the results,&lt;br /&gt;
* Didn&#039;t bother to look at the source website,&lt;br /&gt;
* Copied Google&#039;s extract,&lt;br /&gt;
* Substituted equator with Equatorial Meridian, &lt;br /&gt;
* Tried to pass it off as an authoritative definition.&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is always accusing people of &#039;making stuff up&#039;, which is clear projection.&lt;br /&gt;

== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos.&lt;br /&gt;
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, only he has the correct understanding of any physical phenomenon. He will proudly proclaim this and ignore any authoritative citation you can give.&lt;br /&gt;

== Examples of Bizarre Ideas ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How Lenses Work ===&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is very expert at optics. Telescope lenses &#039;bend light down&#039;, apparently making distant object lower than they are. Theodolites therefore are unreliable instruments. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Angle of Elevation comments on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sunsets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reading AoE&#039;s explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here&#039;s a transcript from his video &#039;Optical Occultation of the Sun&#039; ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0N5AJ8LUo]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I&#039;ve heard many people ask, &#039;how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?&#039; Frankly, the common answer the received from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it, you&#039;re going to see the beauty of its simplicity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and &#039;confident wrongness&#039; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many flat earthers claim the horizon is the limit of perspective and that things converge at the horizon. They are only partially correct. Most things we see are 3D (they have three dimensions), those being height, width and depth. While they are all of equal importance, they do not operate the same. Hold a cube to your eye and identify all three of those dimensions. Notice the height and width are straight and perpendicular to each other, but not depth. It is at an angle; this is called optically rising. You know the bottom of that cube is flat in reality but you don&#039;t perceive it that way. Your brain interprets the incident angle of the reflected light received by your eye and perceives it as optically rising depth. This effect has a limit according to distance. The science that is known as the Rayleigh criteria which is the diffraction limit but really what is the limit of your depth perspective. We call it the horizon which is always at your eye height unless diffracted down by glasses...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Equator is a Meridian; caught in a lie ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some time now AoE has been saying that great circles of the spherical Earth, and specifically the Equator, are all meridians, a term reserved for lines of longitude. A simple factual error you might think and not one to double down on. But double down he does, and it&#039;s a hard one to understand.&lt;br /&gt;
This came up again on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589, where AoE duly came up with a citation that he said supported his view.&lt;br /&gt;

== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos.&lt;br /&gt;
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical Flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a Flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, only he has the correct understanding of any physical phenomeon. He will proudly proclaim this and ignore any authoritative citation you can give.&lt;br /&gt;

== Examples of Bizarre Ideas ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How Lenses Work ===&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is very expert at optics. Telescope lenses &#039;bend light down&#039;, apparently making distant object lower than they are. Theodolites therefore are unreliable instruments. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Sunsets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Reading AoE&#039;s explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here&#039;s a transcipt from his video &#039;Optical Occultation of the Sun&#039; ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0N5AJ8LUo]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I&#039;ve heard many people ask &#039;how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?&#039; Frankly, the common answer the recieved from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it you&#039;re going to see the beauty of it&#039;s simplicity.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;display: block; text-align: right; font-style: italic;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and &#039;confident wrongness&#039; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many flat earthers claim the horizon is the limit of perspective and that things converge at the horizon. They are only partially correct. Most things we see are 3D (they have three dimensions), those being height, width and depth. While they are all of equal importance, they do not operate the same. Hold a cube to your eye and identify all three of those dimensions. Notice the height and width are straight and perpendicular to each other, but not depth. It is at an angle, this is called optically rising. You know the the bottom of that cube is flat in reality but you don&#039;t perceive it that way. Your brain interprets the incident angle of the reflected light recieved by your eye and perceives it as opticall rising depth. This effect has a limit according to distance.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos, though it&#039;s not clear which ones he made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley&#039;s comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of &amp;quot;making stuff up&amp;quot; while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When cornered, he has the typical Flerf reactions; he&#039;ll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a Flerf; dreadful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Examples of Bizarre Ideas ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How Lenses Work ===&lt;br /&gt;
AoE is very expert at optics. Telescope lenses &#039;bend light down&#039;, apparently making distant object lower than they are. Theodolites therefore are unreliable instruments. &lt;br /&gt;
