Muslims, do prayers travel in circular paths?

Do they adhere to the parametric equation for a circle? i.e.

x = rcos(t)

y = rsin(t)

such that r is the radius of the earth?

If so, how do prayers account for the fact that earth is an oblique spheroid? What about mountains?

If none of this matters and prayers simply get to their destination by Allah's will or what have you, why pray in any specific direction in the first place?

Update:

kool dude - Initially I laughed, but then I realized that you might actually be serious. Can you please reassure me that you are joking?

    Superstition? Because Muhammad instructs it in his book.
