Unlike the human head, the earth actually is nearly spherical. There’s got to be some differences in how spherical projections work when the object actually is a sphere, I would think. I know that 2D maps are distorted, but are globes actually this distorted as well? Never knew that, if so.
Edit: After reflecting on it for a minute, I see they’re demonstrating forms of 2D map distortion. The way depth is represented is variable. With modern concepts of 3D imagery, we must have solved this distortion problem. If you open up Google Earth’s globe, it doesn’t have such distortion.
Thats honestly fantastic lol
The virgin Globular map vs the chad Mercator map
That’s Gall-Peters, isn’t it?

Potion seller. I’m going into battle and I need your strongest potions.
You can’t handle my strongest potions traveler
That looks pretty accurate for me
Surprisingly informative
I don’t quite get this. The human head, like the globe, is not flat. Shouldn’t that be reflected in the projections? When projecting the earth in Mercator, we see the whole earth, not simply a “profile” of earth. I would expect a projection of a head to include the whole surface of the head, not a simple profile. How is this actually factual?
Same thought, ha.
This isn’t representing projections of a human head. This is representing projections of the globe if the globe had a giant human head drawn on it instead of the continents.
But then you have to figure out how to transfer the drawing of the head onto the curved surface, and how you do that is going to determine how the projections look.
This is a better example
That is also a good explanation for how the Shroud of Turin could not possibly be an after-image of a three-dimensional person.
It’s still a Mercator projection if you take a world map done in that way and cut it in vertically in half, isn’t it?
OK, now show us the Goode homolosine equal-area projection human head.
I would, but I have a weak stomach.
So how about the Cahill Butterfly projection, …
Came here to say this, but you did, so I’ll ask for the Dymaxion projection.
I’d say that people who like the Cahill butterfly have bad taste, but then again, I might be projecting.
