The act of converting a three-dimensional object into something two-dimensional inevitably introduces distortions. ![]() Joshua Sokol of The New York Times writes that no flat map of a round world can be perfectly accurate. We’re proposing a radically different kind of map.” (via EarthSky) Previous world maps “We’re doing this to break a record, to make the flat map with the least error possible. adds that the new map features smaller distance errors than any other single-sided flat map.Īccording to EarthSky, Gott compares his team’s radical map-making approach to the way Dick Fosbury introduced a new high jumping technique to break records at the 1968 Olympics. ![]() While the new circular map features a few spacial distortions, reports that it doesn’t downsize or enlarge the areas of certain oceans or landmasses like other two-dimensional maps. Flat world maps have all kinds of distortions (hello, Africa is actually 14x the size of Greenland!), but these new coasters are more accurate than most /QmntLm7Agv- Laura Geggel February 23, 2021 ![]()
