The green route on my previous attachment goes above lots of lands. Are you telling me that they are unable to communicate with people on the ground in order to follow the most obvious route? No flight company ever tried this and save millions?
Also, could you please show us the data that says that there is a "magnetic line" along the red route?
I am sure you can google to learn how the magnetic lines of force around the earth are oriented.
Yes, I certainly can. I found
this, where you can see that the red path (from my previous attachment) would actually cross a lot of those magnetic lines, which doesn't serve your argument at all...
EDIT: I'm not sure that the link I provided actually shows the magnetic lines, so I'll search some more. However, the argument of magnetic lines has been brought by you FEers and I'm actually doing your job of refuting arguments- or trying to - against FET. It's a bit ironic.
Additionally, at the risk of opening an entirely new can of worms, the Green route only appears shorter on your inaccurate disc map. I don't support the literal disc earth, I support an infinite earth with fractally recursive geography.
Well, it's not
my disc map. It's the one I downloaded from FES wiki:
here.
In your model of "infinite earth with fractally recursive geography" (whatever that means), what would be the shortest route between Sydney and Johannesburg? Could you show us a map?
