Last I checked, airplanes don't fly through the ground. Then again, who
knows what you see - you seem pretty deranged.

I never said airplanes fly on the ground,
You really need to start to read and comprehend at the same time.
You might wake up out of your abstract and actually find some
reals again.

What are you going on about here?

The plane is limited in the planes (pun intended) it can move. For the
purpose of the plane (and within orders of magnitude) it can only go in
two dimensions. This means you need a way of abstracting the way it can
move.

Do you have a problem with this?

Well, I have a slight problem with it.
A plane can easily move in 3 dimensions.

It is more limited in its ability to move up or down than its ability to
move forward or backwards. Given inflight refuling the plane can continue to
orbit the planet until it breaks down.

If it descends more than about 20,000 feet there is an small problem.

but basically I have no other problem with it and yes
the plane is limited but if you actually read what I have stated
you would read that I am stating it is still not the shortest "distance"
the difference being the shortest path or shortest distance.

But here your ability to understand is limited. The representation is there
to show an example in limited planes. We are limited to movement within
three dimensions. This is why you are confused about relating issues to
other dimensions.

As soon as you learn to create abstract representations you will be able to
realise what general sciences have known for quite some time.

How do you visualise the expansion of large scale structures on a
cosmoligical scale?

I have not stated the shortest path is not a geodesic and only
the morons that don't actualyl read are gathering such from what
I state.

You twist and turn like a jellied eel.

What are you trying to state?

No, you ignore the reality of the situation (as always).

I do not such thing.
I know the shortest path is the geodesic. but that is simply
not the shortest distance.

It depends on how many dimensions you can move through.
