"Not."

I have determined that by leaving one item stationary and moving another item, I can make a straight line with any third item IN THE WORLD.

It is not clear which of the five elements you feel is constantly being moved in order to achieve this perfect alignment. All five appear somewhat stationary (the Empire State Building, the JFK memorial, Bailey Fountain, the Arch and the Mirador). Please check the View at night. See the flashing red light at the top of the Empire State Building brush the ceiling of the Arch. Built 40 years apart, the Arch, Tower and Mirador are perfectly aligned. Call it coincidence and there is no reason to wonder “Why?”

I stayed up all last night and made the above process have fewer words and steps:

First, pick a target object you wish to create a line to. You seem to like the Empire State Building, the JFK memorial, Bailey Fountain, the Arch and the Mirador.

Second, pick any point in the world.

Third, to support your conclusion that the objects are aligned, place yourself in a position that creates a line between yourself, the second point, and the first point. tada!

Lastly, I created an Alternate Method, which may be your preference:

Alternate Method:

Draw a line on the globe, then declare that everything on the line must have been built to be in line with each other.

Sorry about all the noise. My fault.

I made the photos smaller.
