Conservation of area is not a law of nature.

Can't see the other side- if it's a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional object in can still be accurate because of perspective.

There's a third dimension now?

Not really, but it's a useful assumption for lots of different types of maths.

On a similar note, I don't know which doofus created the cancerogenic warning symbol. It's so stupid that I didn't understand it when I first saw it and thought it meant that it irritates breathing or something. Truly stupid.

Could you link to the symbol? It's not on the Wikipedia list of hazard symbols

It's the middle bottom one here, isn't it

Yes, it's the middle bottom one. Looks like a guy's chest is exploding for some reason. 🙃

Why assume it started off as a sphere? Everything makes sense if it started off as an irregular blob.

It might well have started our as a sphere. But you also need to rotate pieces in the third dimension of you want to pay the sphere back together.
