And why don't you compare actual flight times, and not compute flight times?  Computing just compares one model to another.  Its bogus.

Take actual data, and then see which model fits it.

And find a non-stop flight from
Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia

"it's bogus"

"Take actual data, and then see which model fits it" - yes, why don't you?

Give me a break.

Above the author says:
> All flights have been calculated at speeds of 500 mph (804 kmh). 30 minutes has been added for take-off and landing.

So, he is computing the flight time, and the distance is based on one model, and compared to the distance on another model.  Even if they are right, they are completely wrong.

You take your models, compute the times, and then compare and contrast them to actual flight times and routes.

Even if you think the opposition is shtupid, the doesn't give you the right to skip over all the actual data.

If only you had done what you suggest instead of searching for more meaningless cartoons of an imaginary earth that nobody has ever suggested to be true.

I hope one day you actually do the research instead of letting your cognitive dissonance control you.

> And find a non-stop flight from Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia

I have friends that have flown that route separately. One of them goes to Chile often. I asked him if her flew non-stop and this was his reply on whatsapp.

12.5 hours is quick.

I'll add this to this post now.

Classic - I knew you'd find some flatties - glad it's your post, I was starting to get a bit freaked out on mine :)

They don't seem to grasp that waiting is different to flying...
