English: Cities and towns which are near antipodes in equirectangular projection. Blue labels correspond to the cyan areas and brown labels correspond to the yellow areas. Areas where blue and yellow overlap (coloured green) are land antipodes.
This map shows the antipode of each point on Earth's surface—the points where the blue and yellow overlap are land antipodes; most land has its antipodes in the ocean. This map uses the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. The yellow areas are the reflections through Earth's center of land masses of the opposite Western Hemisphere.
In video games using procedural world generation, the map seed is a (relatively) short number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world ("map"). "). This means that while the seed-unique generated map may be many megabytes in size (often generated incrementally and virtually unlimited in potential size), it is possible to reset to the unmodified map, or the unmodified ...
Shorter codes are reserved for densely populated areas. The last idea, especially, yields very good results. For example, although every location within the Netherlands can be identified by a 6-letter mapcode, half of the Dutch population can be found in about 40 cities and densely populated areas that together comprise less than 6,000 square ...
The encrypted sculpture Cyrillic Projector is part of an encrypted family of three intricate puzzle-sculptures by Sanborn, the other two named Kryptos and Antipodes.The Kryptos sculpture (located at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia) has text which is duplicated on Antipodes.
The two points P and P ' (red) are antipodal because they are ends of a diameter PP ', a segment of the axis a (purple) passing through the sphere's center O (black). P and P ' are the poles of a great circle g (green) whose points are equidistant from each (with a central right angle).
The map is hard to read, as shows the question that "unsigned" asked on 21 April 2015 23:27: places are relatively easy to find or recognize on the direct map (here in blue), much harder on the flipped one (here in yellow); hence an efficient use is IMO to find a given place (that you already know) on the flipped map, and then to see its ...
Antichthones, in geography, are those peoples who inhabit the antipodes, regions on opposite sides of the Earth.The word is compounded of the Greek ὰντὶ ("opposed") and χθών ("earth").
