    Another notable projection to consider is Goode homolosine. This one was quite popular in the 60's. It's equal area, and retrains good continent shapes by sacrificing the shapes of oceans, which most folks find less troublesome than misshapen continents.

    4:10 I think a right answer is to have at least two maps with different projections in classrooms, so that the students are constantly reminded that no single projection onto a flat surface is "correct", and that they all have different priorities about which distortions they are willing to accept.

    2:57 a straight line on the map is not a straight line on the globe, but rather a curve that always keeps north at a constant angle. Which is not the optimal path, but an easy one to follow with a compass. That’s why planes’ paths do not look straight if you ever look at them

    2:25 According to this logic, I think I know the answer. The sides of the map will be more squished, and the center will be a bit bigger. But if you think about it the two sides are actually really close to each other, because the flat map is 2× stretchier than a globe, so it likes to show everything at once. The globe has many different angles to look at.

    Slight correction: A straight line on a Mercator map isn't a straight line on the earth, Mercator's advantage is that the angles are preserved at any given point. For example, two lines meeting at a 30 degree angle IRL would be at a 30 degree angle on Mercator. This only works at points though, if you draw a line on a globe and project it onto a Mercator it will be curved.

      I have a feeling that may be a design of that globe. It seems to brake suddenly when it hits that position, implying that the globe may have a mechanism that brakes it a certain angles of rotation. Still a fluke to hit the exact same one, obviously, but also a design of the globe, probably to keep it from spinning at low speeds.
