Muslims seem to think that prayers will curve around the Earth towards Mecca, rather than going off into space at a tangent. That came up before
If you're exactly at the opposite end of the earth, do you have free choice of orientation?
I guess you do! The mathematically correct position would be a handstand though.
I'm amazed at the flat earth model still implicit in the ritual. I mean, if the prayers are going to just home in and zig zag all over the shop, why face any direction?
