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.

But I will watch more of your videos 👍
Our school showed us this video
1:32 it looks like a lot of cows there lol
Oh cool
Ohh then flat earthers are actually frustrated map makers
No.. We are frustrated map makers.. Flat earthers think earth is flat so they don't need to project a sphere on a plane..
@@infinitedepth6767 You might be a genius. God bless. ---------------------------------
But, the continents sizes are completely misconstrued on globes, and maps, anyway, so it literally doesn't matter.
@@infinitedepth6767 If a fighter pilot was flying a F-22 Raptor at the equator going 1000 miles an hour traveling East or west and there was a common house fly in the cockpit and it was flying back and forth across the windshield obviously traveling North and South is the fiy flying 1000 miles an hour sideways?
@@ke4uyp Depends on frame of reference... If you consider with respect to earth then yes and if you consider with respect to plane then no...
@@infinitedepth6767 okay then if the plane is flying East is it going 2 thousand miles an hour with respect to the Earth and when it goes west is it going 0 miles with respect to the Earth?

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.
im pretty sure its called the AuthaGraph btw jsyk
@@l00per That’s correct. The name was evading me at the moment.
What about the Myriahedral projections

It's the best all around, now problem is that it's useless because it's sacrifices everything for good all around result...

Short answer: You cannot depict a spheric surface in a plane without distortion. That would be like the squaring the circle.
Do it for fun!
I will square the circle and the round squarers will pay for it.
You measure the area of a circle and then convert to a square...?

Conclusion:"But remember there is not right answer."
Ok.
Yes, there is no right answer because all of them are wrong.
Wrong x wrong = right.
Remember mathematics dude!
@@laskarsangkuriang5129In this case, and in many more, it doesn't work like that. First of all, there are languages that admit double negation and others that don't. English doesn't. However, this time the sentence has a word that changes that possibility, the word 'because'. If you say 'these are not good because they are not red', that doesn't mean you are saying the opposite, you are just giving a reason to what you said previously.

Is nobody going to talk about how he casually pulls out a knife from his pocket?
Maybe he just really hates globes and wants to keep knifes in his pockets so whenever he sees one he can just stab it open.
What, you don't carry a knife in your pocket?
I dunno about you, but I keep a knife in my pocket all the time
AndeeandPaige 26 so you don’t carry a knife in your pocket all the time? How strange
You can see it at the beginning
Am I the only one who got kinda sad when he cut open that perfectly fine inflatable globe?
Yes
I got sad because his attempt at flattening it was an unsuccessful mess.
Smilecythe that's the point. of this bideo. you can't do that
gonfishin077 No, you can't. You can't make a perfectly flat rectangular plane from a sphere. At least, not with any form of spacial geometry I'm aware of.
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.
Very informative and awesome video editing.
This video is very helpful for me when I was studying the chapter of Maps .
“That was proved by this guy, a long time ago.” Sums up all of science.

Love this. I only learnt this fact in the past year when I started flying in VR in Microsoft Flight Simulator and got hooked. 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.
Thanks for such an easy yet comprehensive explanation!

There are many reasons why the earth would be flat but I'm just commenting on this video.
if you were to look at a live video of the earth watch from NASA it show the blue atmosphere going around the earth appering round.
I kinda don't get what your trying to point but it's just a comment
I just thought, if the earth were to actually be flat it's orbit patters and gravity would be messed up when you think about it.
How would it turn?
How would the sun shine on earth?
What would happen with the atmosphere?
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.

This could be the shape of things chech it all out include all the storys of the bible u know they can be explained away as the views of the simple when applied to this model www.sitchinstudies.com/the-sumerian-solar-system.html global warming could be mass friction & tidal forces of the extra gravitational forces of a supposed binary star we have nemesis/wormwood on approach brown dwarf dead star, our axis tilt rivers of blood in the (bible) could be from the iron rich planet nibiru passing, floods 4 horseman u name it. 21st Aug 2017 is the first test of my sanity will america survive the eclipse the moons tidal force extra pull on yellowstone park & the primed west coast earthquake zone world ender right there. 23rd sep is the biblical rapture or when nemesis gets close enough to flip us or interact with jupiter? this is just from mass research over years to get a general picture it could be fantasy but still more beliveable than flat earth or the bibles on there own i think. Nostradamus predictions prompted my searches it snowballed from there lol just check some of my liked vids to waste your lives.
It's "waste" not "waist".
And the moment you bring religion into an argument is the moment you lose said argument.
@Robie Lee Spell check thank you. Religion? argument care to elaborate im an atheist just pointing out the bibles could be based on miss enterpreted past events, after all man published or scribed them in the first place?
It is my opinion that religion was only invented so that the few who said they followed it could get out of paying their taxes, just like they do today. And that some people are stupid enough to believe the lies that this "God" or "gods" or whatever actually exist.
Wow! Very informative
This was stupidly insightful! THANK YOU
Oh I thought he was gonna say that the map is racist or misogynistic
I knew abt map projections before watching the vid but this being Vox.. i had a feeling it could be abt racism :P
I was waiting...how long until Vox pulls the race card 3:05
tommygunsegs Yeah.. but i had seen that West wing clip so i was hoping for something else..
tommygunsegs But that is true though...
Levi Penterman he kinda did at one point with the imperialist attitudes bit
1. No map is wrong.
2. No map is right.
3. All map is map.

Duy Cường Nguyễn Map Men is my favorite anime.
The mappest maps are not mapped like a map
Duy Cường Nguyễn Never draw on a map!
Flat Earthers - "Why are maps flat but the earth is not?"

What’s y’alls favorite map projection? I’m personally fond of Lee Tetrahedral.
Marine and aviation navigators don’t use maps… they use charts… and are still a requirement for any commercial vessel, and almost all serious bluewater cruisers…
For a second in the thumbnail, I thought he was cutting it with a carrot.

He would have done a better job with a carrot, 🥕
RUclips Supremity omg same😂
😂
Same
Pretty sure VSauce has done this video before.
Yup this is just a remake of the Vsauce video
It really is the VSauce video, the only difference being VSauce didn't use it as an attempt to shame Europeans.
The subject of "projecting a spherical globe on a flat map is always imperfect" isn't owned by Vsauce, or vox,... They treated an existing subject as they please.
Yup, a while ago.
yes i agree. i feel like vox is taking a lot of their ideas from vsauce
My question is this: what is the name and style of your boots?! I love em! Cheers! ps: Happy New Year!
Why is the equirectangular projection shown at 1:08? Should it not be the Mercator?
It's a shame that American kids aren't taught much of this. I'm afraid many teachers don't even know this stuff
I'm a geography nut but you blew me away with all of your graphics.
You have a remarkable skill in explaining geography.
I dont know where you went to school but this is very very false. I was taught about distortion in 7th grade and i know some kids younger and older than me that know what distortion is. Its like the sphinx riddle, when you are young or something you probably wont be taught it till later but nearly every little kid knows the answer even if they understand the reason.
Gal3xy G1rl what? This video is true. Where did YOU go to school?
@@dielitant9783 I was saying Chris's comment was false
They did teach this in school, you must have been sick that day
I mean, he’s not wrong to an extent. I didn’t learn this until this school year in my AP human geography class
5:32 is literally my brain in math class
Especially when you already done the calculation, triple check and saw the multiple choice have different answers.
I’ve paused it at 5:32 and see an inflatable globe being ripped by hands and feet. That is not a brain, so it is not your brain. Learn to use the word “literally” correctly.
Literally

lit·er·al·ly | \ ˈli-tə-rə-lē , ˈli-trə-lē, ˈli-tər-lē \
Collegiate Definition

@@andrewanderson3016 lol, I wasn't talking about what he was doing, it was about what he said: *"And just remember there is no right answer"*
Unless it has a *right angle*!
I’m sorry I’ll leave now
ostrichboi you got big
brain orrr
i should be sleeping but this was in my recommended and i am now in my way of binge watching and subscribing to the channel
And...never believe in the size of the countries. Some nations have a hugeeee Egoooo
k its been a while since vsauce has made a video on this; our turn.
vsauce*
vsausage ?
Doesnt mean they have to copy vsauce.
The main difference between Vox's and Vsauce's videos though, was that Vox somehow managed to sneak in their liberal agenda into what was supposed to be a factual and educational video.
How exactly do you think they bring up their liberal agenda?
In the future we will probably make hologram maps
XxBattlefiledxX 1 what people said in the 1900s but now it's still not invented
We can't predict the future

At 1:33 I can see cows, goats, cats, birds 😂😂
So happy Jonny is doing his own thing now
