One other thing about the Mercator projection, and many others, for that matter, is that it makes it too easy to think of east and west as being on opposite ends of a map, when the reality is that east and west are not points on a map, but directions that go completely around without a fixed start or end. The US is closer to Russia (via Alaska and the Behring Straight) than it is to Cuba, which is not something you can easily appreciate in most flat maps..

The shortest route for a ship or aircraft is a great circle route. Great circles plot as straight lines on a globe or a gnomonic projection and as a curve on a Mercator projection. The straight line course on a Mercator projection is known as a Rhumb line. This is an approximation of a great circle and is close enough for short distances and at lower latitudes.

@@alienguy-kazmikompany1286 That is incorrect. The first European Colonialism happened in the early 1600s but by that time Europe was already much more advanced than the rest of the world. Yes, middle east, China, Korea and Japan had advanced agriculture, war tactics, art and culture but technology and industry was far behind Europe perhaps by as much as 300 years behind. Colonialism did lead to the advancement of the world and pulling out of primitive life that none of us here would want to experience. Colonialism was not all bad as people make it out to be, yes it was wrong to use resources of other countries and the slave trade but it also resulted in the world advancing faster than ever before to the modern era of today. If colonialism didn't happen much of the world would still be living in very primitive life without modern life we all cannot live without. I would not want to live my life in a small hut with no modern advancements!! I personally rather not be alive and live like that.

@@drscopeify don’t idolize your people too much, Europe only more advance than elsewhere last 500 years, before that it’s nothing, also not all Europe were advance, only some. Most of knowledge came from other civilizations to make up the world today. Yes, today Europe is rich and have a lot of money (but not all), but fun fact the paper money you use today was invented in China, also the US played big role to recover Western Europe after WW2. The reason Europe got ahead of the world 500 years ago is because they are the only reason the Mongol empire didn’t reach.

@@trilocnguyen3822 Almost every aspect of life you enjoy came from the west. Simple as that, I am not western myself I was born in the USSR, keep that in mind. I do not idolize anything or anyone, I just tell the truth. I think people that idolize someone else are not going in the right direction in life, if you want to make the world a better place you need to lead, not follow others. The Mongol empire did not advance society other than a few weapons advancements but that is about it, lack of any structure even basic things like lack of art and literature which probably why they had no issue burning the world's most important collection of books and written material in Baghdad. Erasing from Humanity thousands of years of knowledge and art without any care in the world, they were very barbaric.
