yes, he did.

Danggg you’re good..

I thought this was kinda obivous, but by the number of likes you got, maybe a lot people didn't know.

@@renanstpc Well most people hear about this only once or twice if at all in school and are not interested in geography enough to look up or remember such fact, as it does not really have any effect on their lives ... so its understandable ... But ibx2cat basically is all about maps so you would assume he had at least a basic idea of how projection works .....

I want answers........

and its the probably the most simple way to put a globe on a flat surface.

@@guppy719 It isn't, but it's the best compromise between being readable/usable and being accurate. The "best" maps would be conical/pseudoconical maps or the Azimuthal equidistant projection (seen from above where the southpole looks like an ice ring around the world.) Or polyhedral maps would be very precise. But those maps would be very confusing to read and navigating would be extremely hard. With the mercator projection we, simple people, can easily read the map and navigate, despite it not being accurate. Now try to navigate from Europe to the New World with the Fuller projection for example

@pyropulse the idea of a map not preserving direction is hurting my brain it's like what's the point

That’s what I was thinking

Oh hello MrAsianPie

Yeah. Imo scientific achievements should be credited to where the scientist was educated.

It would be moore interesting to see the science prices only, most of the prices outside Europe and USA are peace and litterature.

@@scottwhitley3392 - A TON of scientists are educated and/or conduct their research in the U.S. In fact, the USA has won one or more Nobel Prizes each and every single year going back to the early 1930s (save for 3 yrs in WW2 when none were given).

@@SilvanaDil there’s still a massive amount credited to the US even though the scientists were born and educated in Europe.

was wondering wtf was going on lol

Not really, population of India is result of it's land being good for agriculture for centuries.

when it's there

Germany is the most populous but not the biggest. It's at least 5th.

@@kempo_95 but russia's the most populous

@@kempo_95 Russia has 140 million, and even if you remove Siberia it's still above 100 million. Germany is in the 80 millions.

This is where we have that fun moment and debate whether I meant countries solely in Europe, or if the fact that a country spans 2 continents disqualifies it.

these are the absolute best maps ive seen you are here for the wrong reasons if you dont see it

Having both would be best. These are good for quick glances and then you can look at the color coded map to fully understand what's going on.

Sounds good! I would like to know how different swiss and austria are.

@@PhillipAmthor Indeed.

You are conflating 2 things: countries which are nothing alike, like North Korea/South Korea and ones which are similar but slightly more different than they should be based on the fact that they are neighbors (everything else you've mentioned). For example USA/Canada are objectively similar. You may be biased to see them as different if you are from an English-speaking country because you just have a lot of knowledge about them, so you know a lot about the differences as well. To everyone else, they are very similar. Of course I'm taking into account things that affect everyday life, like the quality of life, freedoms, etc, rather than the geography which may indeed be different, but then you may just as well talk about the geographic regions like plains, mountain ranges etc, rather than countries, which are political creatures.
