    Maps are flat representations of our spherical planet. Johnny Harris cut open a plastic globe to understand just what it takes to turn a sphere into something flat.
    His struggle to make a flat map out of the plastic globe is indicative of a challenge mapmakers have faced for centuries: It is mathematically impossible to translate the surface of a sphere onto a plane without some form of distortion.
    To solve this problem, mathematicians and cartographers have developed a huge library of representations of the globe, each distorting a certain attribute and preserving others.
    For instance, the Mercator projection preserves the shape of countries while distorting the size, especially near the north and south pole.
    For a more accurate view of land area look at the Gall-Peters projection, which preserves area while distorting shape.
    In the end, there's not "right" map projection. Each comes with trade-offs, and cartographers make projection decisions based on the particular tasks at hand. But if you are interested in seeing an accurate depiction of the planet, it's best to stick with a globe.

    There was actually an award-winning computer program that managed to put together the world’s most accurate map. It portrays the poles as two points diagonal to each other on a plane, and wraps the hemispheres around them. It’s near impossible to use for navigation, and seems to make it hard to follow the objective location of countries, and somewhat bends the shape of land bodies, but it is the best map in existence at preserving the size and shape of countries all around.

    • @SonSukka
      @SonSukka 7 лет назад +2

      muntu1221 I meant that since he went through the trouble to cut the sphere open, I was expecting him to actually stretch and distort it into a flat face that would show on the physical object how the spherical map would skew. I know the point of that struggle was to illustrate how hard it is, but to not see any form of success left me disappointed. Hope that makes sense.

I ended thinking Antartica was the biggest continent in the world by far and Greenland was the size of Africa. Actually read about this Mercantor problem in Tim Marshall's book 'The Power of Geography', only last month and ended up buying a nice globe for a true reference which arrived this week. Now I know about this, I feel every household should have a globe.

      How would it turn?
      How would the sun shine on earth?
      What would happen with the atmosphere?

    • @gunide

      Crystal Orange The videos I linked cover all the questions you have. But to abridge, the Earth Is the universe. The Earth is motionless as scientifically proven by the Michaelson-Morley experiment, Sagnacs experiment, Airy's failure, et cetera.
      According to Cosmic background radiation, the Earth Is the center of the universe. There are quite a large number of globe believers that know this too. As far as we know, Earth is completely devoid of motion. The Sun, Moon and stars revolve around the Earth, just as they appear, and seem to follow a nature closer to a spotlight rather than a physical object.
      Even before all of this Flat Earth talk came up, I always knew gravity was not scientific. I had just thought electromagnetism took its place. There is no experiment (except for the absolutely sad excuse of so called science, the Cavendish "experiment" (which could of easily been a result of either wind or static)) that proves the Theory of Gravity a reality. The reason things fall is simple and practical: Weight, Density and Buoyancy.
      Anyway, I'm happy you didn't reply like 99% of non-"flat earthers", who only ridicule.
