== 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;

&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;

===“Thoughts” on Gravity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not one to hide his ignorance or display his unique, made up physics, here are AOE’s musings on gravity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The effect we call gravity which the observed rate occurs at 9.8 m/s^2, is not due to the mass of earth, is due to the attenuation of Em energy from the plane of the stars which transfers the kinetic energy needed to causes the pressure gradient and is a vector pointing downwards and is of the order of 9-10 Pascals/meter and is proportional to the sound vector acceleration according to Euler’s equations [Sic].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

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;

&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;
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;

&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;

&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;

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;

&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;

=== 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;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Martin: Another method added&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It is safe to say that flat earthers and the rest of civilisation agree that the latitude/longitude coordinate system accurately maps locations on the Earth; after all, they make a lot of noise about celestial navigation proving the earth is flat. It&#039;s also the basis of mapping, including GPS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mention &#039;&#039;equator&#039;&#039; to flerfs and they will often deny its existence, or point out that it&#039;s not a real line on the face of the earth, or some other panic measure. Which is odd, because they can&#039;t deny the 0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude as it is a feature of the celestial navigation they love so much, despite it being part of the spherical coordinate system. The equator is, of course, the 0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asking for the length/circumference of the equator/0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude inevitably leads to deflection and denial. There is a good reason for this; the answer leads to the falsification of the flat earth model.&lt;br /&gt;
==Globe vs Flat Earth Models==&lt;br /&gt;
===Globe===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:globe earth longitudes.png|right|300px|thumb| The equator (0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude) circles the earth mid-way between the poles.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The earth is an oblate spheroid, or a slightly squashed sphere; the circumference through the poles (40,007 km) being about 68km less than the circumference of the equator (40,075 km). The [https://www.universetoday.com/articles/earths-circumference average circumference] is 40,041 km. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes Eratosthenes] (276 - 194 BCE) was the first to reliably measure the circumference, getting a value of 40,338 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Flat===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:flat earth longitudes.jpeg|right|300px|thumb| The North Pole is the centre of latitudes on a flat earth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of Eratosthenes, it was commonly known that the earth was spherical and the sun was a very distant object. Flat earthers believe that the earth is flat and the sun is local, so the method used by Eratosthenes is not applicable. As the equator is a circle centred on the North Pole, its circumference must be &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 x &amp;amp;pi; x r&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where r, the radius, is the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Historically, the [https://www.npl.co.uk/resources/the-si-units/metre metre was defined] as 1/10,000,000 of this distance, which equals 10,000 km. The modern distance is not much different to this. So according to flat earth, the circumference of the earth is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 x &amp;amp;pi; x 10,000, or 62,832 km&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparing the Models==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is quite a difference in the two measurements of earth&#039;s circumference:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eratosthenes = 40,338 km&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Flat geometry = 62,832 km&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which is closest to the truth?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Celestial Navigation===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Celestial navigation tells us that the distance along a great circle, which includes the equator, is 60 nautical miles (NM) per degree. The full circle of the equator will therefore be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
60 x 360, or 21600 NM. This converts to 40,003 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Google Earth===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The measurement tool of Google Earth, which uses the same geometric model for the earth as Google maps, can be used to find the length of the equator. It&#039;s a bit fiddly, the result I got was 40,074 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Avenue Equatorial, Macapá, Brazil===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As its name suggests, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macap%C3%A1#Marco_Zero_monument this street] runs along the equator in Brazil.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File: Avenue_equatorial.jpeg|center|900px|thumb| Avenue Equatorial, Macapá, Brazil. &#039;&#039;Google Maps&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Using Google Maps, we can measure the actual length, which is 1.9 km, or 1 NM;. This is 1 minute of arc along a great circle of the earth, which as all celestial navigators know, includes the equator; the Brazilians seem to have thought this through. Anyone who disputes the measurement can look on Google Maps themselves and if they are still sceptical, could drive along it and check the odometer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using this, we can make another simple calculation of the length of the equator. There are&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
60 x 360 = 21,600 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
minutes of arc in a full circle. To convert this to km, multiply by the length:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
21,600 x 1.9 = 41,0400 km&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putting all this together, we can compare all the results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! Geometry !! Method!! Circumference &amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;(km)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Flat || 2 x &amp;amp;pi; x r || 62,832 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Eratosthenes || 40,338 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Celestial navigation || 40,003 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Google Earth || 40,074 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Google Maps|| 41,040*&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;Bear in mind that the distance Google Maps returns is only accurate to 0.1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Conclusion==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat geometry is the one clear anomaly here; the globe results are in good agreement. We must reject the notion that the earth is flat and accept that the globe is the best model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;It is safe to say that flat earthers and the rest of civilisation agree that the latitude/longitude coordinate system accurately maps locations on the Earth; after all, they make a lot of noise about celestial navigation proving the earth is flat. It&#039;s also the basis of mapping, including GPS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mention &#039;&#039;equator&#039;&#039; to flerfs and they will often deny its existence, or point out that it&#039;s not a real line on the face of the earth, or some other panic measure. Which is odd, because they can&#039;t deny the 0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude as it is a feature of the celestial navigation they love so much, despite it being part of the spherical coordinate system. The equator is, of course, the 0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asking for the length/circumference of the equator/0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude inevitably leads to deflection and denial. There is a good reason for this; the answer leads to the falsification of the flat earth model.&lt;br /&gt;
==Globe vs Flat Earth Models==&lt;br /&gt;
===Globe===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:globe earth longitudes.png|right|300px|thumb| The equator (0&amp;amp;deg; circle of latitude) circles the earth mid-way between the poles.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The earth is an oblate spheroid, or a slightly squashed sphere; the circumference through the poles (40,007 km) being about 68km less than the circumference of the equator (40,075 km). The [https://www.universetoday.com/articles/earths-circumference average circumference] is 40,041 km. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes Eratosthenes] (276 - 194 BCE) was the first to reliably measure the circumference, getting a value of 40,338 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Flat===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:flat earth longitudes.jpeg|right|300px|thumb| The North Pole is the centre of latitudes on a flat earth.]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of Eratosthenes, it was commonly known that the earth was spherical and the sun was a very distant object. Flat earthers believe that the earth is flat and the sun is local, so the method used by Eratosthenes is not applicable. As the equator is a circle centred on the North Pole, its circumference must be &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 x &amp;amp;pi; x r&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where r, the radius, is the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Historically, the [https://www.npl.co.uk/resources/the-si-units/metre metre was defined] as 1/10,000,000 of this distance, which equals 10,000 km. The modern distance is not much different to this. So according to flat earth, the circumference of the earth is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2 x &amp;amp;pi; x 10,000, or 62,832 km&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparing the Models==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is quite a difference in the two measurements of earth&#039;s circumference:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eratosthenes = 40,338 km&amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Flat geometry = 62,832 km&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which is closest to the truth?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Celestial navigation tells us that the distance along a great circle, which includes the equator, is 60 nautical miles (NM) per degree. The full circle of the equator will therefore be&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
60 x 360, or 21600 NM. This converts to 40,003 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The measurement tool of Google Earth, which uses the same geometric model for the earth as Google maps, can be used to find the length of the equator. It&#039;s a bit fiddly, the result I got was 40,074 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putting all this together, we can compare all the results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! Geometry !! Method!! Circumference &amp;lt;/br&amp;gt;(km)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Flat || 2 x &amp;amp;pi; x r || 62,832 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Eratosthenes || 40,338 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Celestial navigation || 40,003 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Globe || Google Earth || 40,074 &lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Conclusion==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flat geometry is the one clear anomaly here; the globe results are in good agreement. We must reject the notion that the earth is flat and accept that the globe is the best model.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The declination of the sun varies between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn depending on the time of year.  This is a measured fact.&lt;br /&gt;
This is the approximate formula for the declination of the sun:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S_dec ~=  23.45° x sine( 360°/365 x (d - 81) )&lt;br /&gt;
Where: d is the day of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, for December 2024 solstice:&lt;br /&gt;
* January: 31&lt;br /&gt;
* February: 29 → total 60&lt;br /&gt;
* March: 31 → total 91&lt;br /&gt;
* April: 30 → total 121&lt;br /&gt;
* May: 31 → total 152&lt;br /&gt;
* June: 30 → total 182&lt;br /&gt;
* July: 31 → total 213&lt;br /&gt;
* August: 31 → total 244&lt;br /&gt;
* September: 30 → total 274&lt;br /&gt;
* October: 31 → total 305&lt;br /&gt;
* November: 30 → total 335&lt;br /&gt;
* December: 21 days → total 356&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Applying the formula:&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = 23.45° x sine( 360°/365 x (d - 81) )&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = 23.45° x sine( 360°/365 x (356 - 81) )&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = 23.45° x sine( 0.98630137° x (275) )&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = 23.45° x sine( 271.23287671° )&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = 23.45° x -0.9997685&lt;br /&gt;
* S_dec = -23.44457137°&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Angular elevation at local solar noon ~= 90° - Obs_lat - Dec_sun&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Angular elevation at local solar midnight ~= -90° - (Obs_lat + Dec_sun)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Where:&lt;br /&gt;
* Obs_lat is the observer&#039;s latitude&lt;br /&gt;
* Dec_sun is the [[Sun_Declination|sun&#039;s declination]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 80°S Latitude on December 15, 2024:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar noon ~= 90° - Obs_lat - Dec_sun&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar noon ~= 90° - 80° - (−23.37°)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar noon ~= 33.37°&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar midnight ~= -90° - (Obs_lat + Dec_sun)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar midnight ~= -90° - (-80° + -23.37°)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar midnight ~= -90° - (-103.37°)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Local solar midnight ~= 13.37°&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Flerfs often claim that we &amp;quot;see too far&amp;quot; for the globe.  But when properly tested we see the right amount.  Every time.  In fact, any bottom up obstruction falsifies flat earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Lake Tahoe ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== 2025-01 Robinson Twins and MCToon ===&lt;br /&gt;
Lake Tahoe is about 20 miles across.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lake_Tahoe_distance_across.jpg|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the south shore you can see the CalNeva resort.  From the shore on the south side in calm conditions the bottom of the resort is partially obstructed by the surface of the lake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 10, 2025 Richard and Robert Robinson, The Robinson Twins visited Lake Tahoe visited Lake Tahoe and got video and photographs across the lake.  Here is the resort from a short distance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lake_Tahoe_CalNeva_Resort_close.jpg|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The resort was partially obstructed.  There were not inferior mirages as confirmed by the trees on the far shore.  They are not mirrored or duplicated vertically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lake_Tahoe_CalNeva_resort_obstructed.jpg|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the full video:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://youtu.be/DawcNSELCwY?si=FmEUV92GDQY_9wYQ https://youtu.be/DawcNSELCwY?si=FmEUV92GDQY_9wYQ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 11, 2025 MCToon and the Robinson Twins returned to the same dock on the south shore and confirmed the distant shoreline was not visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some flat earthers have discovered that this video shows some inferior mirages.  Flat earthers claim that inferior mirages HIDE the bottoms of distant objects.  However, when comparing the video from the previous day the same amount of the resort is visible.  Some not inverted, some inverted.  Nothing additional is revealed or hidden with or without the mirage.  This defeats the claim that inferior mirages hide the bottom of distant objects.  In fact it appears that inferior mirages may UNHIDE a small amount of the distance shore, the opposite what flerfs claim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is never an instance where the north shore is visible all the way to the water, including the dock, from the south shore as flat earth requires.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 2024-09 Peter G ===&lt;br /&gt;
My wife and I took our dogs to the off-leash beach at Baldwin Beach in the South-West corner of Lake Tahoe. From the beach, I could see there was a house across the lake just North of Cave Rock on the Eastern shore (on The Ponderosa!). When I zoomed in with my phone’s camera to 100x, I could see that the house was partially hidden behind the horizon. As an avid viewer of your YouTube channel (and of the other FE debunkers as well), I thought that would make an excellent pic of something being hidden behind the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To me this is a better depiction of the horizon than ships going out to sea because the house is at a known, fixed position that can be verified. With ships, it’s hard to know the exact position when the photo was taken. Also, because the distance is only about 10 miles, it’s easy to resolve some detail in the house unlike that pic of Chicago across Lake Michigan. My pic clearly shows that the bottom floor and beach in front of the house are hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The photos were taken from Baldwin Beach (38.940428, -120.055552)&lt;br /&gt;
The house is 1494 Highway 50 #2, Glenbrook, NV 89413 (39.052569, -119.945368)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tahoe_2024-09_Map.jpg|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The house is 9.7 miles away with more than 20 feet of the bottom of the house and beach hidden behind the water at the horizon. The camera is about 10 feet above the water (I&#039;m 5’11” with the phone at eye level &amp;lt;smirk&amp;gt; and standing up the beach a bit so I guessed about 10” observer height) putting the horizon at about 3.8 miles away. (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, 10x optical zoom, 10x digital zoom for 100x total)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a zoom sequence using the different cameras on the S22 Ultra from 1x optical, 3x optical, 10x optical, and 100x digital. Dammit, I should have waited for those dudes to get out of the shot! Anyway, you can see my position on the beach.&lt;br /&gt;

Lake Tahoe, Baldwin Beach to 1494 Highway 50 #2, Glenbrook, NV 89413. The house is 9.76 miles away with almost 20 feet of the bottom of the house and beach hidden by the curve of the water. The horizon is about 3.8 miles away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pics of the house from the Zillow listing showing three stories and the waterfront yard which are hidden behind the horizon in my pics.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1494 Highway 50 #2, Glenbrook, NV 89413&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Zestimate $53.5 million! 14 beds, 14 baths, 23,000 sqft. Yikes!&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Globe hypothesis&#039;&#039;&#039;: over water due to the curving surface of the water distant objects must get obstructed bottom up with increasing distance.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat hypothesis&#039;&#039;&#039;: over water there is nothing in the way between the observer and a distant object.  Other than the waves immediately next to an object there is nothing that can cause a distant object to be obstructed bottom up.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Bass Straight ==&lt;br /&gt;
Flerfs have claimed this is somehow impossible on the globe, of course they didn&#039;t even attempt the geometry.  Turns out it&#039;s not a problem at all without refraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://www.telstra.com.au/aboutus/media/media-releases/ericsson-and-telstra-achieve-world-first&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
https://www.channelnews.com.au/telstra-builds-microwave-link-across-bass-strait/&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Microwave transmission is old technology from the 1930s, with line-of-sight starting around the 1960s and 1970s. It therefore came as a surprise when Telstra announced it was using this technology for a super fast communications link from King Island in Bass Strait to the Victorian mainland. It runs north-south from Cape Wickham, at the northern tip of King Island, to Mt Cowley, west of Lorne, in Victoria – a distance of 116km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having a line-of-sight connection over such a long distance where the earth noticeable curves sounds difficult. But things are helped by the terrain. Mt Cowley on the mainland is 659 metres high. It’s a high point in the Otway Ranges, and it already has a very tall fire tower with microwave units attached to the side. Cape Wickham on King Island is the nation’s tallest lighthouse, at 48 metres high.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= The 15 Degrees Per Hour Incident =&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2018 [[Behind the Curve]]  Netflix documentary [[Bob Knodel]] admitted that a group of flat earthers had shown that a fiber optic gyroscope would rotate at &amp;quot;15 degrees per hour&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
This was a startling revelation in particular because Knodel had earlier in the documentary mentioned how he was trying to keep this information quite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4aFKfqLdw0 Numpty Clips - Bob Knodel Part 2]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Paste Bin Skype Leak ==&lt;br /&gt;
How the Flat Earth mafia reacted to the data from the gyroscope is revealed from a skype chat that was leaked - excerpts below.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The FOG I have demonstrated can measure earth rotation rate. I&#039;ve spun it on a 24 hour rotor and it can measure 15° per hour with ease. - &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Rick Zimmerman]]&#039;&#039;&#039; [17/08/2017 03:06:47]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess, like I said before, were only looking to effect the readings from the FOG in a &#039;passive&#039; manner, rather than a &#039;brute force&#039; method &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Richard Blades]]&#039;&#039;&#039; [10/09/2017 23:18:02]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12/09/2017 20:24:37] &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Richard Blades]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Mems and Mechanical gyros operate differently, they DONT use light...and in there I think is a clue &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[12/09/2017 20:56:38] &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Bob Knodel]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: Good point Rick.  I guarantee you though if we went public with our current findings, the claims that we debunked our own model would be rampant because we clearly detected rotation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[13/09/2017 00:16:58] &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Rick Zimmerman]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: There would be zero yaw on a globe at the equator.&lt;br /&gt;
The “earth rate” yaw formula for the globe:&lt;br /&gt;
15 times (sine of latitude)= yaw &amp;quot;earth rate&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 15 times (sine of 40.8687) = 9.81° per hour.  (Ashland, Ohio)&lt;br /&gt;
...my one hour test was +7.394° (counter-clockwise rotation)&lt;br /&gt;
With the gyro up-side down the unit measured -10.469° (clockwise) in one hour.&lt;br /&gt;
So...we are measuring something close to expected globe rotation.&lt;br /&gt;
15 degrees (yaw) per hour is only at the globe’s poles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[10/09/2017 23:16:49] &#039;&#039;&#039;GLOBEBUSTERS&#039;&#039;&#039;: Hello everyone! Sorry I haven&#039;t been around but I will now get active in the chat again.  I talked to [[Chris Monk]] and [[Mike Cavanaugh]] about our little dielectric problem and they don&#039;t think we will be able to shield it.  We were tossing some ideas around on how to proceed and I will elaborate on that shortly...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We already know that a &#039;huge&#039; external Magnetic field messes it up quite nicely, but is too aggressive a move to use as an argument against the globe&amp;quot; completely eliminating the effect is a big ask. &#039;&#039;&#039;Richard Blades&#039;&#039;&#039; [10/09/2017 23:19:57]&lt;br /&gt;

: The majority of point-to-point distances across the surface of the Earth don&#039;t match the distances indicated by the [[Rowbothamism#Gleason_Map|Gleason Map]]. The difference between the real distance and that indicated by the [[Rowbothamism#Gleason_Map|Gleason Map]] becomes ridiculously large for longitudinal distances in the Southern Hemisphere. Driving between Adelaide and Melbourne is a not uncommon journey for people living near those two cities and is easily done with a road (travel) distance of less than 800km. The corresponding [[Rowbothamism#Gleason_Map|Gleason Map]] (LOS) distance is approximately 1600km. The example video is a time-lapse recording of a drive from Adelaide to Melbourne departing soon after dawn and arriving at a destination less than 10km from Melbourne well before sunset the same day.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Eclipsewise_Prediction.webp|thumbnail]]&lt;br /&gt;
The eclipse of 2026-03-03 was predicted using the globe and solar system geometry long, long ago.  In 2020 the book [https://a.co/d/0bX6A4ya Eclipse Almanac 2021 to 2030] was published.  The time the moon would enter and exit the shadow, the location on the globe were it would be visible, the portion of the shadow that the moon would go through were all predicted well in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can see the same prediction on the Eclipsewise web site: https://www.eclipsewise.com/lunar/LEprime/2001-2100/LE2026Mar03Tprime.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only that, but being a lunar eclipse there is always the global requirement that there be an area of the globe where the &#039;&#039;&#039;Selenelion Eclipse&#039;&#039;&#039; can be seen.  The selenelion is where an observer can see both the eclipsing moon and the sun simultaneously on opposite horizons.  This happens at sunset for one areas of the globe and at sunrise at the portion of the globe about 180° opposite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to the lies from flerfs, the selenelion is not contrary to the globe, it&#039;s mandatory for the globe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See the globe&#039;s predictions for where the selenelion was predicted to be seen before the eclipse in the media section below.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Introduction ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stellar aberration is a change in the direction of incoming star light caused by lateral movement of the observer relative to the star. In some obsolete rsp. fringe theories, it is caused by the absolute motion of one or the other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stellar aberration should not be confused with stellar parallax, which is a change in the angle of incident light from nearby stars due to a change in the orbital position of Earth. It is a distinct effect and the light of a star can be affected by either or both. Important differences are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Stellar aberration is maximal when the Earth is moving laterally to the star&#039;s position on its orbit, and decreases to zero when the Earth is moving straight towards or away from the star. In contrast, stellar parallax of a star in the ecliptic plane is most easily measured between the points at which Earth is moving towards or away from the star.&lt;br /&gt;
* Stellar aberration does not depend on the distance to the star. In contrast, stellar parallax is only observed for &amp;quot;nearby&amp;quot; stars, which, depending on the available measurement precision, is at most in the hundreds of light years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To summarize the difference in one sentence: Aberration is a &#039;&#039;velocity&#039;&#039; effect whereas parallax is a &#039;&#039;position&#039;&#039; effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stellar aberration is also subject to a minor &#039;&#039;diurnal&#039;&#039; effect due to the tangential velocity of an observer on the rotating Earth, at less than polar latitudes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, aberration affects sunlight and the light reflected off of planets, though the effect is usually discussed in the context of distant stars. (It is also tiny in comparison to the angular size of Sun and Moon as seen from Earth.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The discovery of stellar aberration in the late 17th century came as a surprise. Scientists were mainly looking for stellar parallax, potentially allowing for a triangulation of the distance of some stars and also confirming the still relatively young heliocentric model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the first noteworthy measurements was that of [Eltanin|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_Draconis] by Robert Hooke in 1674. At first, the measured deviation was not understood to be a separate phenomenon from parallax. Also, the propagation of light was neither well understood nor the focus of scientific inquiry at the time. Even after Ole Rømer measured the speed of light in 1676, and, in particular, demonstrated that it was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; instantaneous, it took decades for scientists to draw a definitive connection between the angles at which stars appeared to be and the way that light propagates in a vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the significance of stellar aberration, and its distinctness from parallax, were understood, there were however a number of astronomical experiments that attempted to use the effect to distinguish between different theories of light propagation, namely emission theory, which treated light as a stream of particles inheriting momentum from the emitting object, and the undulatory theory of light (better known as aether theory), which treated light as a wave in a ubiquitous but &amp;quot;non-tangible&amp;quot; medium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Modern Scientific Explanation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In modern science, stellar aberration is understood to be consistent with, and quantitatively predicted by, the theory of special relativity. When a lateral Lorentz boost, i.e. a velocity addition, is performed to transform a ray of light from the inertial reference frame of a star to the inertial reference frame of an observer, the angle of propagation changes depending on said lateral speed. (The existence of &amp;quot;instantaneous&amp;quot; inertial frames is enough.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, one should be careful when citing stellar aberration &#039;&#039;alone&#039;&#039; as evidence for special relativity because aberration experiments are not precise enough to be specific towards testing relativity. In particular, while there is a relativistic formula that makes distinct predictions, the &amp;quot;classical&amp;quot; math, e.g. derivable from emission theory or from an aether in which the light source is stationary, still works extremely well in practice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Special Relativity Mathematics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|text=So, is light a stream of particles or a wave? You have probably heard that it is a bit of both, as a rough summary of quantum mechanics. However, it is probably better described as a quantized wave usually, and in this context can be treated simply as a wave (individual photons are not relevant here). The direction in which a ray of light propagates as a wave is perpendicular to its wavefront, which is what matters here.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this subsection, a closer look is taken at the mathematics of stellar aberration in special relativity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The derivation of stellar aberration uses a standard relativistic coordinate transformation, namely a so-called Lorentz boost. (However, while the simplest type of boost is colinear, this boost occurs at an angle.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|text=Lorentz transformations in general are used to transform spacetime coordinates from one inertial reference frame to another and can apply a velocity boost in any spatial direction, rotate the coordinate axes or move the coordinate origin. Usually origin and coordinate axes are kept fixed for simplicity, and we only apply velocity changes. This specific class of Lorentz transformations are called the Lorentz boosts.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the following, &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039; is the speed of the observer relative to the light source, θ is the angle of relative motion (90° for perpendicular motion) and ɸ is the light&#039;s angle of incidence. Note that the actual aberration is θ - ɸ. &#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039; is the speed of light in a vacuum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The relativistic aberration formula is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tan\frac{\phi}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{1-v/c}{1+v/c}}\tan\frac{\theta}{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tan\frac{\phi}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{1-v/c}}{\sqrt{1+v/c}}\tan\frac{\theta}{2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The classical aberration formula, by James Bradley, 1727, is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\tan\phi = \frac{\sin\theta}{v/c + \cos\theta}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And here it is crucial to note that, while both formulas make different predictions, the classical formula as derived using emission theory or, alternatively, an aether in which the light source is stationary and the observer is moving, is not practically distinguishable from the relativistic version. This is because the classical formula is essentially an approximation of the relativistic formula for &amp;quot;non-relativistic speeds&amp;quot;, which includes Earth&#039;s orbital speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, for θ=90°, this further simplifies to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sin(\theta - \phi) = v/c&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v\ll c&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the small angle approximation for the sine applies, so:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta-\phi \approx v/c&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|text=The small angle approximation gives an angle &#039;&#039;in radians&#039;&#039;. Remember to translate the result to a different unit (conventionally arcseconds when it comes to stellar aberration) as necessary.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Example values ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following table shows the predicted aberration angle &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta-\phi&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in arcseconds, i.e. 1/3,600th of a degree, using the exact SR formula, the classical formula, rsp. the small angle approximation &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v/c&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\theta=90^\circ&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and the minimum and maximum orbital speeds of Earth around the Sun. Results are rounded to 6 decimals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;margin:auto&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|+ Predicted Aberration Angles&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039; [m/s] !! SR !! Classical !! Small Angle&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 29290.0 || 20.15226208 || 20.15226199 || 20.15226205&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| 30300.0 || 20.84716768 || 20.84716757 || 20.84716764&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Again, the point is to show that there is no meaningful difference in the predicted values. The predictions are less than one millionth of an arcsecond apart, which is far closer than common measurement accuracy for astronomical observations.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Lake Pontchartrain Causeway or  Lake Pontchartrain Bridge is  23.83-mile (38.35 km) twin-span bridge in southeastern Louisiana. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glober legend [[Soundly]] made the causeway famous by shooting video and still photos of it with high zoom. The perspective foreshortening effect that occurs when using high zoom brought the curve of the earth into view. Much to the chagrin of flunts everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Flatty Excuses==&lt;br /&gt;
===It is CGI===&lt;br /&gt;
The usual argument that a flatty will make about this is that the image is CGI.&lt;br /&gt;
But here we have the images live streamed in video from the 16th floor of the Mariot hotel window overlooking Lake Pontchartrain.&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNsKax_2md8 GET2019 - Live (2) - Silent Stream Streamed live on Jan 6, 2019]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The image looks strange to the human eye because we don&#039;t have a zoom lens in our eye. &lt;br /&gt;
But you can see for yourself in the video above at 37min:25sec what the scene looks like when it is not zoomed in and you can watch the scene transform to that strange forshortened version live as the camera is zoomed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GET2019 - Live (2) - Silent Stream soundly not zoomed.png|thumb|left|400px|Unzoomed view of Lake Pontchartrain Causeway]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===There is no left to right curvature===&lt;br /&gt;
Flatties try and say we should see a curved horizon in the photo because see curve going away from us. Flatties will say &amp;quot;Are you saying we are on a cylinder earth?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
The mistake the Flunt makes is that the image we are viewing is very zoomed in. So we only see a tiny amount of horizion - not nearly enough to see any left to right curvature. But we see all the curve from where we are filming from to the horizon. Which is a lot of distance over which to observe curve. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chess pieces showing curve1.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Wide shot of chess pieces on a dome shaped car roof]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chess pieces showing curve2.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Zoomed in view. Note how the White pieces going away from the camera shows the curve of the roof in dramatic fashion. But the left to right curvature of the black pieces is very minor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chess pieces showing curve3.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Zoomed in view. Note how the black pieces going away from the camera shows the curve of the roof in dramatic fashion. But the left to right curvature of the white pieces is very minor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lake-pontchartrain-causeway-15 orig lie2.png|thumb|left|600px|We can see curved horizon in this image of the Causeway from the air]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lake-pontchartrain-causeway-fe-version lie.jpg|thumb|left|600px|This FE meme is based on the image above but for some reason the horizon on this version is flat.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr style=&amp;quot;clear:both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===There is too much curvature===&lt;br /&gt;
A very common refrain is that &amp;quot;There is too much curvature&amp;quot;.  That is a natural response because the curve does look dramatic. We do not ever see this much curvature with our eyes. But this because we do not have zoom lenses in our eyes.  &lt;br /&gt;
The flatty is never able to explain how they know that there is too much curvature. It is just a gut feeling they have because you never experience seeing something like this with the naked eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only way to really determine if there is the right amount of curvature in the image is to use Computer modeling. Due to the development of computer 3D modeling for use in films we have the technology to create a model of a 3d object in a computer and then put a virtual camera in the 3D scene and put the virtual camera on the same zoom settings as a camera that is shooting in real life. This ability is known to work because it is the reason why real life scenes and CGI scenes in movies are able to be joined together and the computer generated objects blend with the real life scene perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if we do this - generate a 3D model of the cause way and model it as if it was on a flat surface or if it was on a globe of radius 6,371km - and &amp;quot;film&amp;quot; that 3D model at the same zoom factor as we did in real life we can compare the two models with the image shot in reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Lake Pontchartrain is a large lake in southeastern Louisiana, just north of New Orleans. Two parts of this lake provide evidence for a globe earth and are major issues for flunts.&lt;br /&gt;

One is the [[Lake Pontchartrain Causeway]] &lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&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;

&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;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;margin-bottom: -90px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:aoe_fed_2589.png|1000px|Angle of Elevation comments on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&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;
[[File:aoe_fed_2593.png|600px|Angle of Elevation comments on Nathan Oakley&#039;s FED 2589]]&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;
