    Good video, but I would like to point out an error, or at least an apparent error. It is not correct to say that a map projection is the process of transforming a spherical object into a two-dimensional flat surface. The process of map projecting is more general than that and does not require that the source object be spherical nor that the destination surface must be flat or two-dimensional. In fact, it is possible to project the three-dimensional surface of a hypercube onto the three-dimensional surface of a hypersphere. Yes, there was a qualifier added of "as you can see on screen at the moment", which could be taken to mean "in the context of the example shown on screen at the moment" but it seems the implication was that the definition given was not meant to be a restrictive one applicable only to the presented example. A more general definition woud be that a map projection is the result of a methodical process of presenting the features of one surface onto another surface, especially when done in such a way as to maintain some recognizable correlation between the source features and their projected representations.

    We all know the earth is flat. It's easy to see how a photograph like that could fool the untrained eye. The curvature is really just the use of the wide angles lenses from the satellites, its just a deception of the public. That's why sailing in a straight line does not work and you have to pivot around the centre of the earth (also known as north pole). On the outside of flat earth there would be the south pole with 150-foot high wall of ice. The truth is, people know very little about Antarctica, and it makes sense because it is the latest piece of island to be discovered (and even Pluto was discovered before Antarctica). The bible even says it's flat, regardless of what science tells us. It's simply blind faith and to reject the evidence of your own senses.
    It's a joke btw

    Your projection pyramid is incorrect, you cannot have a sphere at the top, an image of a sphere does not have enough data to generate a Mercator projection! It is the AE or Azimuthal Equidistant map that can be converted to a Mercator and then into a sphere.
    Just more lies...
