>Idiot. A spherical object cannot be translated onto a flat surface while preserving both direction and area. The top map preserves area, but not direction. It's meant to be stretched over a globe for proper distances and directions. The bottom image, meanwhile, was created solely to illustrate the actual distances between locations. It preserves direction instead of area.
Yes it can, that is why the continents read North to South on the top map and the bottom the read east to West.
Even then, what the hell is your argument? If we accept that a plane traveling from Johannesburg to Australia has to refuel halfway through, then where will it do that? Check both the top and the bottom maps. The midway point is over ocean on both maps. Regardless of which map is right, the plane would have to stop at Dubai. Refueling at Madagascar would make no sense - The plane would travel a short distance, refuel, and then attempt to continue on the bulk of its trip. It wouldn't have enough fuel to make it.
It travels even farther from Dubai to Australia.
It has more than enough fuel.
