Misconception for over 400 years

Greetings, how are you steemit friends? glad to see you again and hopefully healthy always.
Today I will discuss a misconception that we have been using for more than 400 years, this post also affirms that science is an ever-evolving knowledge, what you know and think about science 100 years ago could be now no longer valid or even considered heretical, hopefully useful.

For more than a few hundred years ago, we have used the map as we know it today. Scientists who previously believed that the flat earth finally found some new evidence stating that the earth is not flat or spherical, but is it true?

I really do not want to argue whether the earth is really ball-shaped or flat, but in accordance with the general knowledge that I currently know, it is more emphasizing a knowledge that the earth is spherical. But as a follower of science, I can not only believe in some kind of knowledge and I also believe that science will continue to change, it could be what we currently believe just a few years ahead cannot be trusted because it has found new evidence that undermines knowledge long.

As I mentioned above, that current knowledge generally believes that the earth is spherical, but whether believing the spherical earth can benefit us? certainly does not benefit anything for ordinary people like me. It's just that a researcher from Japan mentioned that if true we believe that the earth is true round-shaped then we have used a wrong earth map.

In fact, the history of the flat earth is much older than those who believe that the earth is spherical. It is Pitagoras who states the theory that the earth is spherical, Pitagoras itself lived in the 6th century AD so we can know that before humans believe the earth is flat.

When the theory of the spherical earth is finally believed to be like today by many people, we finally find a silliness to it. Many experts make a spherical earth map in 2D media or paper finally make us mistaken for some things that are considered important, why did it happen?

JUSTIFY THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH MAP**

I will not discuss the understanding of flat earth in this post because as we have agreed that only knowledge that has been trusted in commonly I will discuss, that is spherical earth.

As a commonly knowledge, that the earth is round/spherical and there is no boundary or end of the earth as is believed by flat earth society but will ultimately make it difficult for mapmakers to determine the size of a particular area, it has happened for hundreds of years and strangely we believe in the map even teach our children about the weirdness.

I will ask you, how do you describe a surface with real size with a round object? I mean drawing on 2D media with round model.

We will take an example of a ball, if a split ball becomes eight parts and spread on a flat surface then you will find a stretchy or contracted surface, it can make us lose the exact extent of every surface we have stretched on a flat surface, as well as a spherical earth map.

One of the facts that the map of the earth we are using today is mistakenly a map of UK.

---

The world map we use today illustrates that the UK is bigger than some of the other islands,
In fact the UK has a total area of 242,495 km^2[1] and the Philippines has a total area of 343,448 km^2[2].

Why on earth's map now UK look bigger? it happens because of accidental projection mistakes made by experts, not just the UK, but almost all regions adjacent to north and south poles experience something similar.

Until an architect who came from Japan to realize it, from research with some models of the earth he finally found the size and shape of the map in accordance with conditions of an earth.

Hajime Narukawa successfully projects the earth map and is currently considered most accurate by scientists and experts. He named it the AuthaGraph map and has earned many international awards ^[3].

As we know, that many ships have gone astray and the problems caused by the circular/spherical earth map projected onto 2D media, it is due to errors of coordinates and locations to be found.

With the AuthaGraph map is expected all a problems caused by an understanding of the wrong world map can be resolved immediately. Currently, the AuthaGraph map has been marketed and has spread throughout a country.

---

CONCLUSION

---

We have been using earth maps of the wrong size for more than 400 years, it has made many losses every year, such as the difficulty of finding places, getting lost, and so on.

Currently, experts agree that AuthaGraph map is the most accurate map, it is expected that the presence of AuthaGraph map can help and justify the mistakes that we have been doing.

In accordance with the projection of Hajime Narukawa with the AuthaGraph map he finds, he gives a more aesthetic form of a globe, not flat or round/spherical but many surfaces. Hopefully, the form does not trigger a new debate about a shape of the earth. LOL

This is the only thing I can write on this occasion, over all the mistakes and lack of unintentional writing as a servant of God, I apologize.

Thanks to friends who have visited this blog and provided constructive comments, as well as scientists who are willing to sacrifice their time for a better civilization.
