Fun fact: The Mercator projection doesn't give the shortest distance from A to B, but gives the compass heading you should maintain to get from A to B. Taking the shortest route is typically more complicated as the compass heading changes on the journey. Self Promo: For anyone interested, I did a video recently on how the flat earth map can actually be used to disprove the flat earth theory.

The ”AuthaGraph” projection is a map projection that was created in 1999 by Japanese architect ”Hajime Narukawa” and is consirered ”the most realistic map projection” sure, it’s impossible to make it 100% accurate, but the diffrent types of projections you can make is almost endless. It is very realistic in many aspects and was made by dividing the Earth’s surface into 96 triangles, it can even be folded into a 3 dimensional globe! It generally preserves the area and shape of continents, as well as avoiding cutting them in half

I create software that uses many GIS concepts with LiDAR. I had to teach myself about projections while on the job (software engineer). It's a very difficult field, and I have a huge deal of respect for the mathematicians, cartographers, and GIS individuals who make it all work. I've recently discovered the flat earther fad and took a look. I never comment on the videos because it most likely won't matter - I think it's funny that this video hinted at how ridiculous they are though. This is what I wanted to comment on their videos saying: If the earth was flat, how would the math I had to implement to convert coordinate system A to coordinate system B work to begin with (it's accurate down to a millimeter)? The math is indisputable. I appreciate SciShow covering this topic!

Photones travel at the speed of light so the earth has got the height of 0 to them.

the north pole is just more sensible to put in the center, there is much more travel near and through it thanks to it being close to greenland, canada, russia and some northern european countries nobody cares about. whereas the south pole doesnt really have that much near it, therefore it's more believable that it could be a great conspiracy without it being immediately obvious to lots of people. plus the south pole has treaties about no non-scientific missions there and stuff. noone owns it and whatever (almost as though they're trying to keep people away so their secret is safe) whereas the north pole is much more politically bland. additionally if i understand correctly it is possible (and perhaps has been done) to drive a ship to the north pole, just nuclear powered ship breaking the ice and driving through it. of course with much difficulty. whereas since there is land under the south pole (or so we're told) they dont do stuff like that im not a flat-earther, but really there are loads of reasons to choose the south pole as the wall, makes lots more sense

How To Make An Accurate Map: Mix Mercator map + Lambert's Cylindrical Projection!
@tristanroberts 7 жыл бұрын
The mercator projection only preserves *small* shapes. This is also true of all conformal maps; the mercator projection is actually famous because it makes rhumb lines (lines of constant bearing, what you call lines of true direction) straight. TBH, having rhumb lines straight doesn't help at all for modern non-compass navigation for which it's just as good as any other conformal projection. The real reason Mercator's used in those cases is that the US is weirdly attached to it; most of the rest of the world uses various compromise projections.

I saw a model with all the continents with the most accurate shape I ever saw in a map, it can be cut in a rectangle too in many directions. the only detail is that the parallels get curved.
