Title: Flight time, Sydney to Seoul vs Sydney to Los Angeles.
Post by: bhukka on June 04, 2006, 05:38:08 PM

I have flown from Sydney to Seoul (10hours) and Sydney to Los Angeles (14 hours). But when i looked at the flat earth map Los Angeles is twice the distance from Sydney than Seoul is. Why is that?

I have flown Sydney to Tokyo, Tokyo to Seoul, Seoul to London, London to New York, New York to Los Angeles, Los Angeles back to Sydney. Always heading east. Pretty neat huh.

Wow. East. Really? Are you sure? Sounds more like west to me.

Either way, that path is perfectly reasonable on a flat earth.

Yep sorry west. You are right. You could do that with your flat earth map but shouldnt it take much longer to fly to the USA from Australia than to Asia according to the flat earth map?

Distances...are the same on FE as with RE.

Distances can't be the same. If one rigs it so that distances between things look about right, the countries will be the wrong shape and that couldbe measured. If it was of course, the FE people would say it was fake... like everything else known in the world.


This could be measured... that is to say, if one draws two concentric circles on the FE map, one 1000km from the edge and one 1000km from the middle, in the RE they would be the same distances, and in the FE they'd be totally different distances.

The distance from washington to shanghai is 9194Km but to tokyo it is 7710 kms. In your map Tokyo is a bit further from washington than shanghai is yet it is almost 1500Kms closer when measured. Is that not odd.



Distances gathered from http://convertalot.com/worldhowfar.html are they in on this conspiracy?

No they aren't. Distances aren't the same once you go to the southern hemisphere.
