sylla Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) The Science needed here is just basic geometry, ie. comparing maps (overlapping them is particularly illustrative); one only ought to be careful with the latitude & longitude.If you had actually done it, I'm sure your conclusions would be entirely different. Just try it. I believe the Science is a measurement to account for the curvature of the Earth. I'm not saying it's necessarily right, but I think your simple solution is overly simplistic.
