Note that they are, however, wrong about the fact that globes give no distortion; viewing any three dimensional object results in it being projected onto the back of your eyeball which results in distortion. In cartography, we call this the General perspective projection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Perspective_projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Perspective_projection
- samsamoa 10y agoSince we experience this distortion for anything we look at, aren't our brains equipped to handle it? Can we really call it a distortion if that is true?
- themartorana 10y agoReminds me of how a new eyeglass prescription may make the edges of images coming through the lenses look curved or distorted, but after a couple days everything looks straight again.
- has2k1 10y agoAlso consider that the brain already corrects for the upside down image on the retina, and the stereoscopic input due to having two eyes. The brain's plasticity is slightly underrated.
