ACTUAL WORLD MAP I CORRECT WORLD MAP I REAL WORLD MAP

The reason why certain countries look bigger or smaller than others is because of something called the Mercator Projection. Putting a 3D planet on a two-dimensional map was something of a challenge for early cartographers and. In 1569 he designed a map that could be accurately used for navigation purposes, but the downside was that his system distorted the size of objects depending on their position relative to the equator. Because of this, landmasses like Antarctica and Greenland appeared much larger than they actually are.

This whole world is made up of distortions, lies, deceit and betrayal. That's why we have a sense of humor ;)

Thank you for this explanation. It is very important that we all understand this concept of projecting a three dimensional object (the world) onto a 2-dimensional one (a piece of paper).

I live in England. England is not all that far from New York but really far from South Africa. On a world map the distances look similar whereas on a globe you get a more realistic view.

Here in the U.S. I was taught, while attending Jr. High school back in the 80's, that the world map was incorrect in its proportions, and it was explained that this was due to the challenge in showing a spherical object on a flat surface. I'm surprised this hasn't been taught to so many people in all places seemingly...
It's fairly easy I think to understand the narration, though it does some effort, totally different than my states accents by miles!

[jamest.]

That is so cool. Seeing everything in a different light. At a glance it looks like another world! A great video are there going to be more on this map?? Thanks!!

[homewarehouse]

That last map was not quite correct. Nation sizes were still obscured and national distances still didn't coordinate properly. This is an interesting issue and one that is quite fun yet mind boggling

To Flat earthers.In physics /geography they say water finds its own level.The vast oceans span many longitude basically there is a large curvature on the ocean for the earth to be a round globe.Do you think the level of water is also not flat but curved?

[TedBronson]

The problem with translating a globe onto a flat map is one reason we get taught about their faults in school, and what is inaccurate etc. Nowadays there should be little problem since we have computer imaging.

Sweden and Italy is about the same size, yet on the Mercator Projection Italy appears much smaller. Mercator maps were made for navigation at sea.

The Gall Peters Map shows the true sizes of the countries, so the gall peters map is the correct projection.

[destroythelies]

If the north gets stretched above a certain degree shouldn't the south do the same? South america especially chile and Argentina should be huge also by your diagram. Correct me if wrong.

[PurPurDot]

What would the world map looked like if the distortion happened at the equator instead of the north and South Pole

[fullupper]

Of course the maps are false, every thing they tell us is FALSE, and I mean EVERYTHING .

[greghawkins]

You speak good English. Thank you for learning my language & showing me this video.

[samsalin]

do people not know that making a 2d map of a sphere would have ballooning? coulda swore I was taught that in middle school.

[chrisrobinson]

If you look at a Globe, the East Coast of the US is further WEST than the WEST COAST of South America. These flat maps are a joke.

[hondamanvtec]

But why dont we see all of antartica ?

[gammondog]

This is why a globe should be present in the classroom and in the home of every well educated person. They are excellent reference tools for following the news, along with a world atlas for greater detail.

No map of the earth is correct since the earth is not flat. Yesterday I peeled an orange in one piece but could not get it flat without breaking it into small pieces. If the earth were reduced to a flat surface there would be places everywhere where nothing would exist.
