Flat Earth Theory / Distances flying around the earth
« on: April 07, 2018, 10:14:12 PM »
I'm going to trace two flight itineraries around the earth, one northern, one southern. Travelocity gives us:
Tokyo, Japan to San Francisco, US: 9 hours
San Francisco, US to New York, US: 5.5 hours
New York, US to London, England: 7 hours
London, England to Tokyo, Japan: 11.5 hours
Total of 33 hours to circumnavigate the earth in the northern latitudes.
Johannesburg, South Africa to Sydney, Australia: 12 hours
Sydney, Australia to Santiago, Chile: 12.5 hours
Santiago, Chile to Sao Paulo, Brazil: 4 hours
Sao Paulo, Brazil to Johannesburg, South Africa: 8.5 hours
Total of 37 hours to circumnavigate the earth in the southern latitudes.
According to all flat earth models I've seen, South America, South Africa, and/or Australia should be the furthest away from each other. It should be at least twice as far to visit them as the northern route. How do you account for jets' ability to fly faster at southern latitudes?
