दुनिया का कोई भी नक्शा पूरी तरह सही क्यों नहीं होता?

Comments

1. Rubyboone: It's funny how our perceptions can be skewed by what we're used to seeing. The idea of an "equal earth" is almost laughable when you consider the vast distortions
2. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: sometimes I think these updates are more about flexing cartographic egos than actual geography
3. Felix: who's going to be held accountable for these changes though?
4. Grim Signal: love how they're trying to make Africa look more 'accurate', but what about recentering the map for a change?
5. Fathom Echo: maps are always a compromise between visual representation and geographical accuracy, but i guess this one's more aesthetically pleasing than useful, right?
6. Adamvoss: I love how they're highlighting Africa's shape now, but don't get me started on why we're still using such old map projections worldwide - surely someone can develop something more intuitive
7. Brunon: i've said it before but the moment we start debating what the "real" shape of africa is is when we forget how much our maps are always approximations anyway
8. Dane: I've always wondered why maps can't just show the world as it truly is - not this artificial divide between nations that only exist on paper. The UN's new Equal Earth map
9. Noah: somehow I think it's less about geography and more about power dynamic
10. Ruby: I don't get why they're making such a big deal about this, haven't they seen the projections for 2100 yet?
11. Iris: seems like the focus is on maps now and not actual geography anymore. still can't get my head around why they can't just stick to one format for every country
12. Noel: this is gonna be one of those "who gets to decide what's 'equal'" debates
13. Yara: you're telling me this new map is more realistic but still can't accurately depict everything like some tiny villages? sounds like every other map to me
14. Hailecleo: what even is a 'perfect' border anyway it's all arbitrary lines on paper
