0·
2 years agoI 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?
Where are there e ink panels on the shelf?
