Likewise, there are several places with signs claiming the 19th century assertion that they are the centre of England.

None of them are close to where the Ordnance Survey found the geometric centre of England to be in the 20th.

These islands do love retaining the 19th century tripe for tourists.

In a Dymaxion view of the world, it is all one big ocean, anyway. (-:

A look at Buckminster Fuller's #dymaxion car... much more interesting than a SUV! https://www.bfi.org/about-fuller/big-ideas/dymaxion-car/

Recommend 🤔 hell no 👎 🛑

An overview of Justin Kunimune's "danseiji", "elastic Earth", world map projections, a style of projection which allows the use of individual stretching of specified areas rather than one uniform formula for the whole globe.

The most interesting to me is "Danseiji IV", a projection that is inspired by Dymaxion but looks a bit more organic.

@TerribleMaps

Buckminster Fuller also did a "One-Ocean World Map" with Antarctica in the centre a year later in 1943. It's not as well remembered by the World Wide Web as the Dymaxion Map is.

I wonder how many air-delivered-anywhere mass-produced factory-assembled eco-conscious energy-efficient fully-recyclable fully-equipped turnkey-installed 3BR homes #SpaceX could pump out in a day?

When Bucky was called out on the $5M cost for the Rome expo unit, he answered yes, for the FIRST one...

Hate-watching an intro talk to the new Guggenheim cars exhibition, but on the plus side it has a car by #BuckminsterFuller and that reminded me of this #Dymaxion EP I have.

Told the kids about the #dymaxion map today, printed and folded one.

Not as fancy and smooth like the Wikipedia animation, but still fun :)

The #Dymaxion map or #Fuller map is about the only globe to flat projection (onto an #icosahedron) that maintains relative sizes with less distortion of shapes of the continents.

I know “desire”, “want”, etc... is considered to be cheap spirituality but this is clearly a plea of mitigation
