I like the implication that globes were invented after electric lamps.
How else would you light them from within?
I recently bought physical maps. Trying to get off using GPS to get around. There was a study that was conducted that GPS affects the parts of the brains.
Physical maps don’t have worry about batteries or internet connection or connection to the GPS satellites. A physical map keeps working until it has been destroyed.
Earth has been proven to be spherical in 5th century BC, right? Do we have traces of globes made back when half of the Earth hasn’t been well known?
If we do, looking at must’ve felt pretty weird to the people living back then.
when I saw the third panel I thought this was gonna be about the Brouwer fixed point theorem
