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 🤷🏼♀️

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.
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

@@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!

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. 😆
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
"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."
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.
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.
If the globe model is the most accurate, then why does every globe warn, “not for use in navigation” ? Why does every navigation system totally ignore the, so called curve ? Why is the official FAA navigation model based on a flat immovable plane ? Just saying, as one commercial pilot to another…..
Because navigation techniques are based on the Mercator projection. You may end up in the wrong place if you try it on a globe. The Mercator projection is flat, not curved. Pretty simple. The Mercator projection allows you to plot a course in a straight line to your destination with a compass bearing. The map was made for ship navigation. It still works for it's purpose today, although a GPS can now be used instead.
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.
@@TheDuckHasArrived A quick search shows 13,000 images - I liked the one with an Eskimo, a Navy Seal and an ACTUAL Seal all waving at the camera, standing on the pack ice. No barber pole.
@@flatearthjackal9201 exactly and it could easily be proven. Just look at the clouds in some “pictures” they use the exact same layers. But these globalists look at the picture for 5 seconds and be like “Ight coo”
@@flatearthjackal9201 let me guess. Because someone at Nasa said it had to be Photoshoped? The same guy FErs always quote while not providing context? That happens with photos from close by sattelites that can't get the whole earth into view. So they do múltiples orbits around it and then stitch the images together. Same thing your phone does in a panorámic. Oh.. But there are other hundreds of photos from farther away without editing. Just look at the 70's photos. Has anyone ever demonstrated the original blue marble to be false? The one taken with a Hasselblad camera in 1972. I'll wait.
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.
This is one of my favourite topic... projecting non Euclidean curve into a plane... There's a approach called orange peeling structure called Euler spiral
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.
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.
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. 🌎🌷🌱

"... in other words: it's accurate enough, but still not accurate enough." - What da math 2021
I'm just playing, we all understand what you are trying to say Anton. Keep up the good work, wonderful person!
We can get something to Mars but can't take a decent photo of home.
Because all we do is go to Devon Island to take Mars pictures.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! REALLY INCREDIBLE WORK! MARAVILLOSA! THANK YOU, BLESSINGS!! PEACE!
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. 😆
Every single image of earth is an artists representation.
Oh no! Anton, you have just created the Coin Earthers :D
I still want to see a reality show where flat earthers compete to find the edge of the world
H’mmmm Thanks...The most genuine On Line/Educational presentation of our environment available. Well done. Regards for your efforts.
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!
Wonderful presentation, in so many ways. Thank you, Anton.
So interesting--thanks for the well-organized analysis.
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.
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.
Google earth be like :let me introduce myself
Love this! Thanks have a wonderful week, Anton.🤗🇨🇦
"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."
Polar maps were used to prove the 'great circle' idea (the idea that it is slightly shorter bending to the poles).
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.
"Chinese lantern" - expand into 3d model when used in reference but stored in 2d format.
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.
If the globe model is the most accurate, then why does every globe warn, “not for use in navigation” ?
Why does every navigation system totally ignore the, so called curve ?
Why is the official FAA navigation model based on a flat immovable plane ?
Just saying, as one commercial pilot to another…..
Because navigation techniques are based on the Mercator projection. You may end up in the wrong place if you try it on a globe. The Mercator projection is flat, not curved. Pretty simple.
The Mercator projection allows you to plot a course in a straight line to your destination with a compass bearing. The map was made for ship navigation. It still works for it's purpose today, although a GPS can now be used instead.

HahahahHH
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.
@@peterdarr383 Yea, I've heard that one before "there's nothing to see". Well, let me see for myself.
@@TheDuckHasArrived A quick search shows 13,000 images - I liked the one with an Eskimo, a Navy Seal and an ACTUAL Seal all waving at the camera, standing on the pack ice. No barber pole.
Bigger question: How did cartographers during classical antiquity, know to map Antarctica?
Flat earthers looking at earth from space be like “this is a hologram projected by nasa.” Lol xD
Not ‘earth from space’
No, it's just photo shopped.
Go to space then talk jhit
@@flatearthjackal9201 exactly and it could easily be proven. Just look at the clouds in some “pictures” they use the exact same layers. But these globalists look at the picture for 5 seconds and be like “Ight coo”
@@flatearthjackal9201 let me guess. Because someone at Nasa said it had to be Photoshoped? The same guy FErs always quote while not providing context? That happens with photos from close by sattelites that can't get the whole earth into view. So they do múltiples orbits around it and then stitch the images together. Same thing your phone does in a panorámic. Oh.. But there are other hundreds of photos from farther away without editing. Just look at the 70's photos. Has anyone ever demonstrated the original blue marble to be false? The one taken with a Hasselblad camera in 1972. I'll wait.
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.
This is one of my favourite topic... projecting non Euclidean curve into a plane...
There's a approach called orange peeling structure called Euler spiral
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.
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.
Once school kids can have holographic projections in front of them this won’t be an issue.
Marketers making notes: "📝need to make coasters 📝"
"I made the most accurate earth flat map ever!"
"Cool, what can it be used for?"
"A beverage coaster."
Idea. Map of Europe, Asia, Africa, with edge of Greenland and Australia. Second part of Americas / Australia / Antarctica.
That disc map would look great as a 12 inch record picture disc. :)
ALL I WOULD OF DONE IS GO TO SPACE AND TAKE A PICTURE.
WHY HAS NO ONE DONE THIS BEFORE ?
You can only see half of it at once though
Firstly and most importantly ... If you have satellites in space provide us with one real live picture of planet earth ....
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
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. 🌎🌷🌱
Have you ever wondered WHY the “patented” Alexander Gleason map from 1892 resembles very closely the United Nations insignia not to mention a number of other major government entities such as USGA etc. Look it up. You might just be “enlightened” or should I say “ILLUMINATED”.
It’s a fucking logo
Whats the point of a more accurate map???!!! Who Gets to see it? Not any of us! With the view so limited with so many blurred out areas, Or completely whited out!!! With a imposed limit on how close you can see it. This is just BS for all us Pee-ons!
When aliens were here building the pyramids, I wish they’d given us good maps.
They gave the humans a globe, but the humans turned it into a soccer ball.
The Great Pyramid is at the exact center of all Earth’s land mass. Also, The average height above sea level of all land mass is also represented in its height. 0% chance this is a coincidence. So we just haven’t deciphered their map yet. 👽

They cant
@@premium7182go on google earth and there it is
My theory: make a globe map out of cloth, which is foldable so then you remove the globe skeleton and you got it
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
