Globes can't make accurate maps.

Most people use their phones now.

2D surfaces can't map 3D surfaces without distortions retard

> 2D surfaces can't map 3D surfaces without distortions
Yes, they can, cylinders and cones being the very trivial and well known examples.
Spheres, having nonzero gaussian curvature, cannot be isometrically mapped from a plane, as has been well known for two centuries.
So far this is not very paranormal.

There will always be distortion, but you can lessen said distortion, and choose what is distorted.
Pic related.
This map keeps all land masses their true size and relative position.

hunny thats a square not a sphere.

Cylinder face maps are 2d components of a 3d shape

>>40517832 (OP)

well yeah, earth is an oblate spheroid not a sphere, so some distortion of areas not on the equator is necessary.

Globes can make accurate maps! It's flat maps that distort the sizes of the continents!

Antarctica in winter size 22 million km2, 5 million km2more than Russia

>>40522368
>in winter
The map shows landmass, not any surrounding ice.
>12.3 million km2
>russia - 17.1 million km2
So Russia is about 50% larger than Antarctica.
Which the map clearly shows.
