The reason there is no official recorded distance is because Paris does not actually exist. It is a NASA experiment to brainwash people
I was wondering what anyone has to say on how far it is from Paris to New York. I've heard that this is unknown, but a google search says that it is 5,834 Km. Can anyone explain this to me?
The distance from New York to Paris is unknown.
To restate ghostopia, Eucidean geometry (specifically the law of cosines) proves that no flat map can handle the known distances among New York, Paris, Buenos Aires, and Capetown. Since this is obvious, the only possible argument is to dispute the known distances. A lot of electrons have been burned in a few threads over the purported simplicity or impossibility of measuring the distances. And the thread ghostopia linked (and I have linked in my signature) is the primary source thread.Here are some thread links:Cable measurementIt's simpleThe distance from New York to Paris is unknown.
