Take something like Flat Earth Theory. Okay, if that's real, how can you do something different and gain benefit from it? Can you create an airline service with quicker flights to certain destinations?
I was just reading a conspiracy theory about how the The Great Pyramid was actually a device to change the magnetic poles. Okay, can we recreate it to change the poles again?
What are some conspiracy theories that if true can actually lead to us doing something different? How can we benefit from knowing the "truth"?
Ya the Google earth app will allow you to plot the flight route on a spherical earth. You can compare this to the flight route on a FE gleason map. I don't suggest people use a Mercator projection map because no one claims that to be a true representation of the earth. You will quickly see the flight routes make perfect sense on a FE map. You will also understand why we don't fly over the middle of Antarctica to get from Buenos Aires to Perth (even though that is the shortest path on a sphere.) It's impossible because antartica is is an encircling ice/landmass, not a continent at the bottom of a sphere.
