Digging Holes / over 2 years ago

If we can agree that
when the surface of a perfect sphere is divided
into two halves (A and B), the
point directly opposite any point on half A will necessarily be on
half B and vice versa
and
the earth is nearly spherical, and
the equator divides it nearly perfectly in half
and
The United States of America is located entirely
and indisputably
within one of the two hemispheres marked out by the equator
and finally that
The People's Republic of China is located
entirely within the very same hemisphere as The United States of
America
then I think we can forcefully conclude that
there cannot exist
any point in The United States of America
that is directly opposite any point in the People's Republic of
China.
Let us consider this subject completely laid to rest.

Not really, because you wouldn't have to dig in any way tangentially to the surface, or parallel or perpendicular to any diameter of the sphere, or even in a straight line!

I never said anything about digging (outside the title of course), I was just saying that the two countries are not opposite each other. If you want to bring digging into it, then the complaint would be that you may as well use any south-Asian, east-African, or Australian country as the target of your deep-deep hole, rather than exclusively China (if you're on some sort of Columbian expedition to the far East, I think India was his goal). Or just say the Indian Ocean and be the rightest of them all.

By the way, I just wanted to point out that I am very smart and had not even noticed the title of this post before commenting and rather had figured out on my own what you were talking about.

That's the smartest thing I've ever seen!
