Not to mention, India’s coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You’re bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.
Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.
India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.
For some reason I don’t think this is true.
A straight line connecting two things does not necessarily have to connect to said things perpendicular to their border.
