Also On The Equator...
WHAT IF... there was a fence going around the Equator? Who would be inside the fence, and who would be outside the fence?
Or better. Let's say there's an imaginary planet with this fence around its Equator, and the fence is built so that it lies PERFECTLY on one plane, right on the middle line of that planet, with EXACTLY the same amount of atoms on both the North and the South sides of that plane. The north pole is EXACTLY as far from the fence as the south pole is. The North population is exactly the same as the South population, and the mass of the North and everything on it is the same as the South, etc. And since the fence is a complete circle, well there must be something INSIDE the fence, right? It can't just be something separating North from South, can it? A divider goes in a straight line. But something that fences something in goes around.
What if the South won a war with the North and built the wall? Would it be keeping the North out or keeping the North in? Would the North be prisoners or would the South be fortified? What if the North won the war?
What if the South was agressive and kept trying to fight with the North, and the wall was built by some higher authority to prevent them from fighting? Would it be holding the South back or protecting the North?
It's like the glass half-empty or half-full thing I suppose. It's all about perspective.
