Why do we still use mercator projections on a 3d global model? Couldn't we just make a digital globe where everything is to scale?
Benjamin Gray
do you also spend hours scrolling though google maps?

Dude, Polynesians accomplished far more than blacks despite having less than a percent of the black population historically. There was no written script in sub-Saharan Africa prior to Europeans/Arabs, yet Rongorongo and Woleain were things.

Holy shit, nice. When did they update GMaps?

We use mercator and other distorting projections, because you can't flatten a sphere without distorting it.
en.wikipedia.org
Since a sphere of radius R has constant positive curvature 1/R^2 and a flat plane has constant curvature 0, these two surfaces are not isometric, even locally. Thus any planar representation of even a part of a sphere must distort the distances. Therefore, no cartographic projection is perfect.

Perth would be the most isolated city in the world but Auckland is further from a million+ city by like 20 kilometres

Is it not slightly scary being down there all by yourselves?
