The new map is essentially a flattened globe that displays the Northern Hemisphere on one side the Southern Hemisphere on the other with the equator running around its edges, resembling a vinyl record in shape, Phys.orgreports. J. Richard Gott, Robert Vanderbei and David Goldberg, a trio of map experts from Princeton and Drexel Universities, are re...
Laura Geggel, a writer for Live Science, tweeted out an image of the new two-sided mapon Feb. 23. While the new circular map features a few spacial distortions, Space.com reports that it doesn’t downsize or enlarge the areas of certain oceans or landmasses like other two-dimensional maps. Phys.orgadds that the new map features smaller distance erro...
Joshua Sokol of The New York Timeswrites that no flat map of a round world can be perfectly accurate. The act of converting a three-dimensional object into something two-dimensional inevitably introduces distortions. “If you have a Mercator projectionon your classroom walls, for example, you may grow up thinking Greenland is the size of Africa (not...

8 de mar. de 2022 · Overlaying hundreds of maps at a time shows just how distorted the world gets when map makers try to flatten out the globe, as data scientist Michael Freeman, from the University of Washington Information School, reveals in this interactive visualization:
1 de ago. de 2019 · Narukawa's AuthaGraph World Map, which he unveiled in 2016, won the coveted Grand Award of Japan's Good Design Award competition, beating out over 1,000 entries in a variety of categories. His map overcame 2D distortions by angling continents in a way that accurately displays both their relative sizes and the distances between them.
