The Mercator Projection was not designed to be “accurate”. It was designed so that a ship’s navigator could point his ship to a particular COMPASS BEARING and be guaranteed to reach his destination. If you stand on land and point in a particular direction the Mercator Projection will tell you what you are pointing at. It does not pretend to have accurate distance. It sacrifices accurate distance for accurate DIRECTION.
Which is precisely why the Mercator IS the most accurate map. A map is primarily for navigation. The Mercator does that job superfluously! And anyone of the vaguest intelligence will have a good idea of size and distance because they will see how many boxes, say, Africa fits into and know that it is vast. They will also see how few boxes Greenland fits into and understand it is in fact only a fraction of the size of Africa.
Though it really depends on what kind of accuracy you want. And if you want an accurate visual representation, well, a globe IS a map. So, the title of this video is complete BS, and the entire concept seems a moot point 🤷🏼♀️
You are incorrect. It is simple to display a sphere on a plane surface. It is the reverse of making a spherical map of a flat plane.
@@theoriginalrecycler You are so wrong, you are not even on the same planet.
Mercator does not use a plane, it uses a cylindrical object as projection area.
Underrated comment.
@@theoriginalrecyclerWhat is even your point? It’s clearly not so simple, this video alone proves that. - “A” sphere. To what specification? Splayed orange peel method? Obviously the topic assumes that quality and utility is taken into measure.
If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off by now.
😅🤣😂🤣🤣
I bow to the ground! 👏💐
BEST Comment ever in history, and scientifically correct as well! 🐈
- If I ever meet a flat-earthener I know what to say!!!

If the earth was a globe nothing would stay on it including cats 😂😂😂😂
@@EPICSOUNDTRAX blud got mad 💀💀💀

Simplistic visual: Eat your grapefruit half, then try to flatten it. The center part will be in compression, the outer will be in tension. So the outer part tears open, the inner shrinks, thats the distortion that they try to compensate. The land areas are well known so they plot them ignoring curvature. Good enough.
What about the other half of the grapefruit?
We ate it, it is no more@@spaghettilibro
You really need to read more on the Mercator projection. After more than 450 years it's still use for navigation (with all it flaws and modern tools use). This shows how well this cartographer of the Low Countries (Belgium) designed it.
Belgium? You mean Netherlands lmao
@@sneedfeed3179 Nope, Belgium (although it wasn't called by that name at the time). The "Low Countries" used to designate a region encompassing roughly the modern countries of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg (along with some bits of France and Germany).
I debated a flat earther once. He stormed off saying he’d walk to the edge of the Earth to prove me wrong.
He’ll come round - eventually.
Lmao
Well you can’t debate if your close minded 🤔
@@meonlybro Holocost?!
So even tho if I close one eye I see in 2D the earth is still 3D? Makes total sense 😂
I wish it was a true story
Its so hard to create it with all of our sattelites and computers. Imagine how tough it was for map makers in the 1500s. Lol
Imagine drawing a map of a coast for a merchant lord or king, based on a cryptic rumor from sailors that there's an uncharted coast . Your lord and sire surely expected an accurate map for his fleet to follow, failure is harshly punished.
When the Spanish Armada sailed around Ireland in the 1500s the Maps showed the west coast as almost straight without the parts jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, needless to say only half the ships made it back to Spain.
Thats why its funny to me when you see these really old maps and people doubt them. Those people put alot of time in on them they didnt make them for a game.
Better yet, a map by Marinus of Tyre , he did predict the circumference of Earth by an error of just 17% smaller, which is great for the time and better that the 24% from people before :D:D:D
Every single image of earth is an artists representation.
No matter which side you stand on, no one has ever been to a high enough vantage point to see the Earth in it's entirety...
Same goes for any object
That disc map is gonna give flat earthers 'special' dreams!
Is that all you globalists can say shows how uneducated you are when you can’t even throw a argument into question and don’t question anything that was said in the video all of you are close minded. I love Anton tho.
@@meonlybro please educate yourself on what a «globalist» is
@@meonlybro Thanks for the assumption?
@@jamesbeyou8279 no thank you for the assumption
@@JoaKimzen country’s are still taught the earth is flat and you GLOBALISTS want to erase their heritage. You all are a great examples of globalists.
New Zealand is on there so off to a pretty good start!
Was NZ left out of other maps?
My wife is a Kiwi and we look at a LOT of maps when we're out shopping in the States. You would be surprised at how many maps don't have New Zealand. The next time you're out and about and you see a map, take a look.
@@JamesLorimor I've never seen any map without NZ on it. Provide examples.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver We were in Hobby Lobby and 3/4 of the large wall maps there didn't have New Zealand. I'm not saying that navigational maps leave New Zealand off, but the majority of decorative maps do not have New Zealand on it. As an American, I never noticed, but being married to a Kiwi for 16 years, I've started noticing.
@@JamesLorimor the government 404 page has a map that doesnt include nz as a joke

Extradimensional being: How do we make an accurate 3 dimensional representation of our 4 dimensional hypersphere?
My brain hurts thinking about what oragami would look like in the 4th dimension
@@ciaran6959 the 4d origami crane looks like a swan at one angle and a plane at another
@@ciaran6959 in our universe it would look like an object changing over time
A 3D representation of a "4 dimensional sphere" is literally a snapshot of an object over time. It's like if you were looking at google earth as opposed to staring at the planet with a telescope
@@mjrlunpersonal So thought I might give you something to kind of check out. Don't take my word either. So, time has at this point been rejected as the 4th demention. time can exist for a single dimension. it's space-time not space and time. The existence of space automatically means the existence of time and vice-versa. Dimensions simply are spacial. Mathematically they exist and we can sort to create simulations of the concept. Thing is math alone isn't proof per say. the math for vortex theory was beautiful and perfect but it turned out to be a theory that was wrong and general and special relativity prevailed. Super symmetry has been Mathematically shown to exist but every test just shows it doesn't. Math doesn't always mean real even if the math works. Like parallel universes, higher demensions are something that can never be observed or demonstrated and we can never know. Perhaps the behavior of quantum particles may be the closest thing to clues about other demensions. perhaps the scale of higher demensions is too great or small to know. It would be like trying to understand that demensions of an ocean by standing in it while blind and deaf.
there should be a "fat earth society", that obsesses over the slight bulge near the equator :-)

Great lesson tonight Anton. Much thanks!
Fact :
There are flat earthers all around the globe.
This made me actually laugh out loud!
Great stuff.
Haha
“Flat earther” here. Why is it if you close one eye you see in 2d but the earth is automatically 3d because of a picture?
@@jasonpassofaro3305 Ok guys, I'm jumping in. So Jason, what exactly are you confused about? Do you think that we know the earth to be round just by looking at pictures?
@@jasonpassofaro3305 Because you're already looking at a flat screen were the pixels are lit in such a way that the image has the illusion of a 3d object. It's not a real object, so you would only need 1 eye to get the 3d effect.
When you look at an object in the real world you can move around to look at a thing from different angles. But no matter what angle you look at your computer screen you are still seeing the object from the same view, it's a still image, kind of like a painting.
Hope this helps!
Crossing the equator with navigation, "please insert disc 2 to continiue"

I'm sure a lot flat-earthers will be upset to find the earth is double-sided.
‘iTs cGi’!
Inside and outside?
Lmfao
I always wondered what flay earthers thought what was on the back side of the earth 🌎.
Their pizza world has a flip side and magic happens at the equator, that makes you not notice the flip while crossing the equator. 😂
I would buy a dual sided mouse pad map like that. Pretty interesting for sure.
Sheldon Hall hot
What I'd like to see is a one-sided version with both of these views side by side and interlocked like two sprockets, so you can rotate either one of them like a wheel around its pole, and the other view will rotate to match it.

I wonder if that is why ancient maps are also two circles. They were just sliced vertically instead of horizontally.
Where can I find a high quality, non-blurred pictures of Earths' poles? Hit me Anton.
There's a station at the South Pole, along with a GPS transmitter. Try Google images. The North Pole is technically moving pack ice 10 feet thick. Nothing to see.

Bigger question: How did cartographers during classical antiquity, know to map Antarctica?
Most of us will not go to the Arctic or Antarctica, especially doing our own navigation...

The disc flip map is perfect because you cant be on both hemispheres at the same time, so you simply choose the one youre located at

I'm Fred and I approve this message 👌
Gotta love #1 wonder. He's just the best
Extraordinary coverage of all things interesting.
You really should have mentioned the main benefit of the Mercator, in that it is the only one that can be used by navigators to accurately measure the correct heading needed to move towards a particular place.
Thank you for bringing this perspective to my attention. I laughed so hard when you presented it. I realized it right away😅sometimes it’s that simple

You should re-name this video "The world's most debated coaster"
The video's title is very misleading, almost clickbait crap. "Most-accurate" map my ass. He doesn't even specify what the number quoted refers to.
If you get a good value for something, you get a bad one for something else. If area is not distorted, then angles and shapes are. If angles are not distorted, then shapes and areas are. And so on.
Aw! I was hoping the dymaxion projection would show up!
EDIT: Yes, I saw that it came up. I just mistyped 'aw' for 'ah'.

That disk map is definitely the most useful for looking at the poles, with the traditional flat maps it's hard to imagine how close canada, greenland, russia etc. really are.

Looks like if you have two sides of that .8 map you can roll the edges along each other to match. That's kinda cool
That's exactly what I thought, too.
Yep, that was my first thought, too, when I saw them side by side! I even pictured it being on a larger flat surface, where both circles would rotate evenly together when you move one of the disks. 😁😄
Yes, my imagination does run away with me sometimes... but it usually brings me back relatively intact. 😆
This was enlightening. I had no idea that our maps were not so accurate.
This is one of my favourite topic... projecting non Euclidean curve into a plane...

That disk map is amazing it has already given me some interesting perspectives. I was an aerospace engineer many years ago and I have been using maps my whole life I think they are very important and I find this disk map to be very, very interesting. I hope they adapt it in Nullschool my favorite global map system.
Thank you very much Anton!
Just going to remind everyone that the maps Anton was showing are the same maps we have available in north america and the united states.
Despite the fake news that was going around social media, we don't cut through half of asia to make north america appear in the center... those were actually maps from Japan/Korea/Oceania that were being shared on social media (ofc this is why we know facebook is the best place to find fake news).
So if you want to know what maps in the United States/North America look like, watch the video.
If you want to know what the Japanesse maps look like, go find the fake news posts on facebook.
7:15 So Earth is flat after all. Tyvm
Anton. You always have a great variety of topics on your channel. You are now my favourite channel on RUclips. Thanks for all your work in putting these high class together.
The "Oakley Projection" is the most perfect representation of the planet Earth -if you have another opinion he will scream profanities at you until you give up.
Flat Earthers: finally we have the proof!!!
Me: Ah shit, here we go again.
What's ironic is that this map will likely not catch on in the FE community because it's legitimate math and science, which they avoid like the plague. Personally, I think FE's aren't actually arguing about the shape of the Earth fundamentally, and it's more of a socio-emotional aversion to "smart people" defining the nature of reality in a way that they aren't sufficiently educated enough to internalize for themselves and thus have to trust. That makes them uncomfortable to the point of lunacy.
"All Around Smart Guy" is a called a POLYMATH. Buckminster Fuller is one of the World's finest POLYMATH
"Where language failed to describe his diversity of activities, Fuller coined his own term, calling himself a "comprehensive anticipatory design scientist." The polymathic nature of Fuller's activities gave him an expansive outlook on the twentieth century."
"The Most Accurate Map of The World" firstly needs a definition. Currently our most familiar map is Mercator's projection, which is grossly inaccurate in many ways, but is a work of genius for its intended purpose: enabling navigators to plot the shortest course across a spherical surface, using flat map.
Sadly, the fact that GPS and other technologies have rendered this irrelevant, has not changed the maps that most people use.
It finally happened. Earth is flat. Next we find out it spins at 33 1/3 rpm's.

Anton you should do an episode on how they mapped countries , continents , Island in the past with only primitive instruments,
My favorite projection has always been the old azimuthal equidistant hemispheres maps. It seems at some point they came to be considered old fashioned however. Kind of neat how this modern rendition is essentially going back to those. It's really just the plane along which the hemisphere's are separated that's changed here.
The southern hemisphere is way out of scale though.
It's good for the UN because it doesn't center on a particular nation or continent.
@@jimsmith7212 I dunno. What I don't like about this division is it effectively splits major landmasses between two maps. If anything the old dual hemisphere maps focus attention onto the Indian Ocean and the Eastern Pacific. I'm alright with that personally.
@@frankb3347
I agree.
As Anton said, the globe is the best map.
Splitting by 20°W and 160°E meridians (centering on 110°W and 70°E) creates west and east hemisphere, I like that projection configuration as well as the distortion is not too extreme in it and the circular representation is quite natural for a hemisphere.
My first grade teacher told me that only a sphere accurately depicts every country on the planet. This is why I now always take a globe with me whenever I travel. It works well, buts it difficult to fold and put in my glove compartment.
Upgrade to one of those inflatable beach-ball style globes. FTW!
The flattest I can make an orange peel is by peeling it in one continuous ribbon... you can then dissect the ribbon roughly along the same meridian and order them from north to south... the thinner the ribbon, the less distortion.... I'm sure it's way more complicated than that, but is there anything to this idea?
8:38 Hey! Look where Greenland is and it’s not huge, although it is pretty big. and it’s much more north than i thought.
of course, I’ve looked at globes, but never really took in the arctic. Fascinating - thanks so much Anton. 🌎🌷🌱
Do flat earthers go on cruises? Do they fear falling off the earth?
They go on cruises down to the Antarctic and think it’s the ice wall and if they go further military will turn them around
Once school kids can have holographic projections in front of them this won’t be an issue.
So interesting--thanks for the well-organized analysis.
You just proved that the earth cannot be flat!!! Bravo!

Hey, that's actually a pretty neat idea. We could use this map as lids on both ends with an origami sphere in the middle. Let's call it the squeezeball projection.
That disc map would look great as a 12 inch record picture disc. :)
Anton, you do such great and thorough research, and you deliver with class and charm. Well done, as always. Love your content here in the United States.
Thanks for this cool information I didn’t even know I needed. Very interesting! Thanks recommendations
Flat earther 1: look a disbeliever!
Flat earther 2: Take him to... The Edge.
This thing about mapping a sphere has bothered me for way too long since I like world building and story writing and I've always wanted to design planets with certain countries and geography, but unfortunately there are very few tools for designing your own planet texture or even painting a sphere besides Blender basically. There are tools to randomly generate planet textures, but rarely anything that allows for a bit more design.
Your the best Anton, just love everything you inform us about🌼
Thanks for responding to my earlier comment, I understand now. Wonderful Pal.
It's fun to see how my country (Perú) is at the edge of this new map. Tho i wish it was flat for a second so all flat eartlings (yes there are a lot here - third world country) go there and jump proving it's flat indeed.
Wish you used the word “projection” instead of “map.” Because this isn’t about maps. This is about projecting the earth onto a plane. This video should be called “This Is The Most Accurate Projection Map Of The World Ever Made”
Tomayto, tomahto
@@takotakotakotakotako Ah no, not really. Words should be used true to their meaning. Also, Anton should have given an account on the accuracy criterea used, since otherwise the notion an "accurate projection" is useless and does not tell us anything.
