How to project infinity without projecting infinity?
>>

very carefully

The final solution is adding a third dimension so that all areas, angles and distances are conserved.

If 2D projections aren't good enough then don't use them.

the earth is a globe, planes are just human simplifications

the earth is a plane, globes are a demiurge mystification
>bespoke
men invented spheres, god had to comply when crafting the earth

why add dimensions when you can remove them? you only need 1 dimension to draw the surface of the earth

Build a huge vise and flatten the Earth.

I've been working on this problem for 20 years (I am autistic but also dumb)
I switch between accepting that there is no perfect answer most of the time, and chasing wild geese down rabbit holes when I get what I imagine is very close to a manic episode
I've settled on icosahedrons. but I'm not happy about it

While this doesn't solve your problem, you might be interested in reading up on Uber's H3 representation of the Earth.

What's the problem? Use a globe if you need to "understand."
Aviation and Naval charts already meet the needs for long distance travel. There's no unsolved problem, the professionals have adequate solutions.

the best projection is one that moves. Now you know, spend another 20 years on it kthnx
