Look we cannot answer for the routes airlines choose to fly.
Of course you can't. That'd require you to accept the truth.
I don't believe I have seen such a stupid meaningless reply!I made a quite innocuous statement and absolutely true statement "Look we cannot answer for the routes airlines choose to fly."
Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense realises that the routes chosen are based on a lot more than just the shortest route.
True, there are routes in the Southern Hemisphere where the Globe and Flat Earth map give vastly different distances and routes, but as far as I know that does not apply on these routes.
Accept what truth? What ever has the routes like this got to do with flat/globe/concave or square earth.
İntikam was trying to prove the maps wrong, yet all the maps agree from Google, OpenStreetMaps back to quite old maps!
Also, stop abusing formatting. Thanks.
I have not the slightest idea what you are talking about. If you don't like my formatting please be a bit more specific!
DO YOU MEAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
There might be a lot more to it than simply the height of the mountains.
Yeah, like the Earth being flat.
Flat/globe or whatever did not enter my head when I replied to İntikam. He is claiming that the pilots are failing in choosing to fly longer routes. I was quite reasonably pointing out that a lot more goes into route planning the simply the shortest distance!
But you know better I suppose.İntikam's Shortest Distance Route | | FlightRadar24 - New Delhi to Beijing |
OK, here is the shortest route on the left, going over the extremely mountainous regions of the Himalayas, then over the high country of Tibet, not only very remote from emergency assistance but also a rather politically sensitive region.
On the right is the route actually flown, carefully avoiding the Himalayas and politically sensitive regions, flying over Bangladesh, the northern parts of Myanmar, still crossing a bit of mountainous area before entering the Yunnan province of China.
The route actually flown would seem to be the eminently safer one, though I was at pains to claim the the airlines make the decision not usually the pilots.
Now, I fail to see how my failing to see your truth would have affected my answer in the slightest.
Why don't you ask the airlines WHY they fly those routes, because it has nothing to do with me, you or TFES!
How do you know this for a fact?
What on earth could the choice of airline routes in that part of the world have to do with "me, you or TFES"? You are simply trying to stir of trouble - but I guess that seems to be your main aim in life so go to it.
Early in your post you claimed "That'd require you to accept the truth." Really, what TRUTH? For a start anyone who claims "THE TRUTH" is immediately suspect as an utter bigot!
I am supposed to accept the truth like:
- The FE says the sun rises in the NE in summer! I SEE it rise in the SE!
- The FE says the stars rotate only about Polaris. I SEE the stars rotating around a single point due south[/b]
- The FE model (without a lot of "magic") has the sun and moon drastically change size from rising to setting. I SEE the sun and moon keeping the same size from rising to setting!
- The FE model claims the sun and moon are always some 3,000 miles high! I SEE the sun and moon quite clearly rising from behind the horizon and setting behind the horizon. Just like:
Sun setting at Barnhill | | Sun almost set at Barn Hill |
- The FE map has Australia vastly wider than it is high! But I know the size and shape of Australia, I have driven over most of it. It is nothing like the accepted Flat Earth Map!
Just take a look at:
Australia on Gleason's Map | | Australia on Google Earth |
Measurement | | Gleason's | Garmin Nav |
West-East 30° Lat | | 8,700 km | 3,700 km |
Cape Yk-Wils Prom | | 3,200 km | 3,200 km |
I can assure you the FE map (yes Gleason's is exactly the same shape as the "UN" map) distances are nothing like reality.
I could go on and on to the more complicated technical stuff like gravity v. UA, Coriolis, tides, Sun and Moon distances, orbits of planets, phases of Venus and Mercury tec, but this will do for now!
Just what TRUTH am I supposed to accept. The stuff you peddle with no REAL evidence or what I see!
Now you can accuse me of abusing formatting, failing to accept the TRUTH and all the othe HEINOUS crimes I am undoubtedly guilty of!
And while you are at it get rid of you stupid idiotic avatar! No, on second thoughts KEEP it, it fits you perfectly, one big p....!
After this rant I expect a few Errors and Omissions, so feel free!
