Can they change the direction of the jet stream so flights to Asia are shorter?

Can they change the direction of the jet stream so flights to Asia are shorter?
I want to go to places like Asia, New Sealand, and other awesome places but I don't want to spend 64 hours on a plane. I think if they reversed the jet stream a few times a week, then I could catch a flight on one of those days. Then they could switch it back for the tourists going to Europe.

Some smart guys discovered a while back that the earth is round like an orange only bigger , so just take a plane heading east and keep on board until it gets around the corner and arrives in Asia. By the way they call it New Zealand , they are a bit particular about it and even though there are seals there they still like Zealand not Sealand Kinda like calling the USA the United Mates of America would not go down well.

What would happen if you fall in a tunnel from america to asia?

what would happen if you fall in a tunnel from america to asia?
I've been wondering this for awhile. If there was a such tunnel that was from America to asia (that had a protective layer to prevent being burned). Would you fall continuously into the air and space?

umm. i think that is possible but youd probably die, get burned or suffocate because of all the air hitting your face at once .
2 :
No. Air resistance would make sure that you got trapped in the middle of the Earth (the oscillation would slow because of air resistance, and you'd just whoosh back and forth). However, this is a classic thought experiment; in reality, you'd be dead several times over, and it would be impossible to build such a tunnel for any number of reasons.
3 :
at some point where the two atmospheres meet, you would probably find yourself in limbo as gravity is a downward force.
4 :
U will be caught in the middle bcz earth's gravity will pull u only upto the middle....

About 6,000 miles. At 70mph that would take about 86 Hours. I don't think there is a car made that gets that kind of milage. They would need 6 or 7 gas stations along the way.
2 :
depends on where they built it. west coast would be faster than east coast. alaska would be the fastest.
3 :
if you've ever driven in Beijing and Shanghai, you will know that Asians in general can't drive to save their life. With all the people pulling over to relieve themselves, the drive will take over a year.
4 :
One hour. Starting in Alaska you cross 60 miles over or under the Bering Strait and enter into Siberia. Indeed there are plans for a North America to Asia land bridge/tunnel There will be a road for cars but rail will be the most compelling reason.
