1
This is the new world map, and only one nation voted against it.
2
Most people have known that the current map, the Mercator, is not to scale.
3
It was designed in the 1500s by Gerardus Mercator to help European sailors navigate the world.
4
That's why Europe is in the middle, and Africa, which is about 14 times bigger than Greenland, looks about the same size.
5
Now, to be fair, squeezing a 3D shape onto a 2D surface does require sacrifices regardless.
6
If you pulled the sticker off a globe and tried to lay it flat on a table, there would be a lot of gaps.
7
The Mercator map was designed to preserve angles and shapes, which helped sailors plot a course, for example, in a straight line with a compass.
8
If you stretch some of these nations, then the distance of travel isn't as accurate.
9
Basically, either the nations are true to size or true to shape.
10
You can't have both.
11
But we don't travel like this anymore.
12
So in 2018, a group of cartographers created what they call the Equal Earth Projection.
13
But it wasn't until a vote yesterday that the UN approved it.
14
164 nations voted in support, six were abstained, but only one voted against it.
15
The US's argument was that we should focus on other things, and implementing it will be hard.
16
Correcting the map is important because it shapes people's perceptions of the world.
17
Spatially speaking, we could use this map, or this one, or this one where China's in the middle.
18
But we don't, because deep down we know that perception matters.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
