Put a flat earthier into space

Well take your time if you think you can make known distances work.

No need to take any time. I've given you what you asked for and it suits me.
I'll offer you the conundrum again.

If you saw a hill with a level tunnel through it, would you walk up it or through it to get to the other side and which one would be quicker and the shortest distance?

Well airline's fly across Europe as I described earlier, are you suggesting they go the long way round for shits and giggles?

I'm asking you how an aircraft gets to Australia from the Uk.
What route?

 

[legend7]

But you still haven't offered to take off the great circle route.

I never asked you to add it on, whatever the hell it is, draw it without the great circle router, its your bloody map

It doesn't work to scale though, on that we now agree?
What the hell have tunnels got to do with flying across a lemon squeezer with an unnoticeable gradient?

I don't think you're getting it.

Your globe offers a great circle flight. It would have to. You have to follow the convex curve exactly in that fictional circumstance.
Basically if you're looking at a direct flight this is what's on offer for your fictional globe.

So your air miles are based off of that.
I'm sure you know what I mean.

I'm not talking about a lemon squeezer I'm talking about your globe.

Absolute gibberish tbh, they take off from Argentina and fly straight to australia the shortest way they can, how does that work or not work on your map?

So you think a plane would fly that distance over the pacific?

Whether we live on a globe or a lemon squeezer, the flight time from UK to SA is 11 hours.
It's 8 hours to New York.
Where would New York fit on your map considering it needs to be situated at a distance approximately 70% of that between UK and South Africa?

 

[legend7]

I'm not talking about a lemon squeezer I'm talking about your globe.

Forget the globe exists, or doesn't.
Airlines need to know accurate distances in miles or they crash.
You can't make these miles (which you actually said you accepted) work on a flat map.
So you either lied or you're wrong

Flight time does not equal distance.

Quantas do. They actually go near your magic ice wall

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

I'd love to but you're offering distances based on a globe. You offer a great circle route.
Or are you now not offering that?

It likely would if you take away the great circle route.

A straight line from point A to point B is exactly the same length over a globe or flattened out.

 

[legend7]

Flight time does not equal distance.

Distance equals f*cking distance though
Distances you earlier said you accepted but suddenly don't, wonder why that is

Still waiting.

No it's not.

Flight time and mph equal distance, not just flight time.

 

[legend7]

No it's not.

Flight time and mph equal distance, not just flight time.

Waiting on what?
Distance equals distance.
These are known distances you said you accepted.
Why have you now changed your mind?
Mark new york on your map now?

 

[What A Waster]

Flight time does not equal distance.

Do you think they travel slower to new york or faster to SA just to screw with our heads?
I mean I can fly Newcastle to London in about an hour, to Paris in about 90 minutes, Barcelona or Mallorca in about 2.5 hours.
The reported distances seem to all match up when you look at how long the flights take.
Similarly you can get to new york in around7.5 - 8 hours, Florida in 9 hours, Mexico in 11 iirc.
Again times and supposed distances all match up.

So do you think they alter the speed of flights to keep the global lie going?

 

[Occam's Razor]

"Define 'distance'".

I wasn't far off, tbf.

 

[Nukehasslefan]

Waiting on what?

The hill or the tunnel.

Distance equals distance.

Yep without knowing what that distance is in time and mph to gauge it.

These are known distances you said you accepted.
Why have you now changed your mind?
Mark new york on your map now?

You wanting me to mark more when you already discard it. Ermmmm, no.

No problem. Do you know if you take a convex curved path or a level flight path to destination?

Maybe but over convex of level flight?

So do you think they alter the speed of flights to keep the global lie going?

Do they need to be altered or does the route change from convex to level?

What have hill's and tunnels got to do with flying across the world.
It's like me asking you if you prefer a chocolate éclair or a melba in relation to flight times.
Look you said you could make them work, you haven't so as far as I'm concerned, until you do, my work is done in proving you wrong.
Fly near the North Pole to get to Australia from England

Add another. Make 30.

Nah you're not very good with numbers, you'll probably think there's a hundred
