Traditional map of the world.

Measurement Accuracy of the southern hemisphere version of the preparation of the new map can visually see the poles.

Last month, Sweden's Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released a "strategic assessment of China's Arctic," a report devoted a good part of the Measurement Accuracy of the preparation of the new version using the world map, clearly marked on the geographical North Pole channel relations with China, marked the Measurement Accuracy of the New World map and its impact began to the world.

It is understood that the traditional use of the 500 years the world map to warp split the earth, so that severe deformation of the polar regions and the adjacent areas and the relationship between the lack of clarity as to enter "magic mirror", a serious distortion.

In 2000, the Wuhan scientists Measurement Accuracy of the earth proposes a new parallel cutting angle, and thus create a "double-warp double weft" prepared "series map of the world." The world's first accurate map, a complete presentation. The map has been guiding the polar expedition and international aviation, to Beijing to New York 8,000 km shorter range.

Change: the Arctic Ocean into the center of the world effect:

Reduce the 8,000 km Beijing to New York

Change: the Arctic Ocean into the center of the world

Measurement Accuracy of 52-year-old is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, researcher, and his office wall hanging New "Series Map of the World" gives the feeling is weird at first. General on a world map, map of this group of four, east, west, south and north, each one hemisphere; and three cross-pricked, "the southern hemisphere version of the world map" is the erection of.

Measurement Accuracy of introduction, he cross-section along the lines of latitude north and south hemispheres of the other two describe the world map, then the world map into four, two vertical cut along warp, two parallel cross-section along the eastern and western North and South finally form a whole.

"Eastern Hemisphere version of the World Map" at the top right Wuran protruding piece, Measurement Accuracy, this is the world's largest island of Greenland, the traditional map of the world, in order to ensure the map above is a flat line, the northern end of the island was removed a small part of . The New map of the world must complete show, one less,sandals christian louboutin boots, not crippled or deformed.

In the Measurement Accuracy of the world map, Canada, the United States, Russia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and other countries around surrounded, so the Arctic Ocean into the center of the world.

Effect:

Reduce the 8,000 km Beijing to New York

Prior to 2002, according to the traditional map of the world to develop air routes from China to Europe and the United States shall be by way of the Pacific. September 2002, based on Measurement Accuracy of Air China's newly compiled map of the world developed a route to the U.S. Arctic Ocean. Traditional routes, Beijing - New York, a distance of 19,000 kilometers away Pacific, and Arctic Ocean a distance of 11,000 kilometers away, near about 8000 km less than in the past one-way flights more than three hours.

It is understood that the Arctic Ocean to Asia, Europe and America the apex, with the shortest route links three continents, the world's 2 / 3 of the land and 4 / 5 of the nations gathered here, and because the world's major powers and military powers are Northern Hemisphere, Arctic Circle from these countries have the shortest distance, from the perspective of national defense, aerospace and understood the strategic significance of the missile flight.

Measurement Accuracy of a New Map of the World was aroused by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (the main research of international peace and international conflict, the specific content, including arms control and disarmament, armed conflict and conflict management, and global and regional conflicts, etc.) attention, perhaps In its strategic military value highlighted.

Measurement Accuracy of the New world map has been increasingly used by scientific exploration and national defense. My study of the Antarctic Arctic Polar Research Center of Chinese authoritative departments, the first introduction of the revised map of the world: in 2004 China's first Antarctic expedition of 21 ocean-going navigation and in 2005 China's first global oceanic expedition, the plan will become their plan routes Measurement Accuracy of the map in the formation of a perfect closed curve.

If global warming caused by melting Arctic Ocean, Asia, Europe and America among the 6,000 km route will be shortened, shorter range 1 / 3 or more, Panama and the Suez Canal to no avail, the world trade balance will be broken global political and economic structure will undergo major changes. "When the northern hemisphere version of the world map" will become the world's politicians and merchants of the palm-sized.

Inspiration: from the Chinese couplet

Xiao-Guang Hao graduated from Tongji University, majored in geodesy, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan to the studied measure theory of continental drift, the attention from the world map.

Because in the Chinese version of the map is hard to see agreement on both sides of the Pacific, he let most of the countries want to draw a majority of people can accept, beautiful, practical value of the world map.

Hao Xiaoguang said: "The first problem is: how in the expression of a complete map of the world? Chinese couplet in the dual, antithesis inspired me, there is the East there is the West, the south there is the North. Why is there a map of the world can only Zhang? I engage in a combination. "

Chinese complex also led him to the southern hemisphere version of the world map made of the vertical version. Why? If made of cross-graph looks like a big cock to keep China's territory can not be ten feet tall, sang the form, which is unacceptable to the Chinese people. Vertical inspired by ancient Chinese texts, he will map the horizontal and vertical, to solve this problem.

Cutting: Qiao latitude surprise to the "Line-Sky"

In the "northern hemisphere version of the world map" in latitude 60 ° south latitude, he cut to the earth, for the first time realized in the world map continents, countries, exhaustive, accurate full presentation.

"Southern hemisphere version of the world map" magic of the tangent latitude 15 °, almost pass and North America, would cut nearly to the North, but the near misses, close to latitude 15 ° line in South America is almost in the north and south America through the narrowest point between the Central America, South America, mainland intact.
