The fuller projection is the least distorted. The land masses are proportionate, unlike mercader projection maps. As you move away from the equator to the north or to the south, there's a distortion that happens. And if you look at the fuller projection, you'll see how small greenland is in comparison to that. We're misinformed by the macate projection. If you go into 95 % of the classrooms on the planet, that's what's on the wall,. still, to this day, misinforming us about the planet itself.
In this episode, we chat with inventor, writer, producer, and educator Kurt Przybilla on American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, critic of work, and futurist R. Buckminster Fuller.
Kurt Przybilla invented Tetra Tops, the world’s first spinning top with more than one axis of spin, which were inspired by the works of Buckminster Fuller and have been featured in the New York Times, Popular Science, Baby Einstein, Child and Discover Magazine, as well as at the Smithsonian Institute. He is co-creator, writer and producer of the Molecularium Project at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he has produced and co-written Molecules to the MAX!, a 3D animated film for Giant Screen IMAX theaters, Molecularium, an award winning digital dome feature, and NanoSpace, an game-based online theme park to teach kids about atoms and molecules.
