Map distortion, epitomized by the Mercator projection, has long been a contentious issue in cartography. The Mercator projection, created by Geert de Kremer in the 16th century, aimed to aid navigation by representing the world on a flat surface, but it came with inherent flaws. The projection distorts the sizes of landmasses, particularly those closer to the poles, resulting in an exaggerated representation of regions like Europe and North America while diminishing the true size of Africa. This distortion served the interests of Western nations by providing more space for detailing their territories, infrastructure, and achievements, reinforcing a Eurocentric worldview. The inherent biases in map projections, including Mercator, perpetuated geopolitical power dynamics and played a role in shaping colonialist attitudes and policies.

The idea of folding a piece of paper more than seven or eight times might seem impossible due to its increasing thickness and the limitations of human strength. However, if you could hypothetically fold a paper 42 times, the results would be mind-blowing. With each fold, the paper’s thickness doubles, and this exponential growth leads to an astonishing outcome. After 42 folds, the thickness would multiply to the point where it could stretch over 384,400 kilometers, which is the average distance from the Earth to the Moon. This phenomenon illustrates the power of exponential growth, where something seemingly small can quickly escalate to unimaginable proportions.
