Wouldn't two perpendicular spheres intersect on a line?

It doesn't really work no matter how you look at it. So we can't have a similar climate. Wow, it's getting complicated now.

It would have to be orbiting it's own sun, in it's own realm. It could have a similar climate.

Umm... I hope ana/kata is subjective like left/right, rather than objective like north south, kuz otherwise I messed upIf ana was objective, and you always turn ana at the intersection, you'd be stuck in that quadrant forever.

PWrong wrote:That doesn't really matter though. It's a bit too complicated to allow the other earth to have its own solar system, especially one that's different from ours.

I was profane? ah, "messed", right. well, you can go bleep youself you censorous biphole

No, it's not complicated at all. Anchor them together, and they can both slide around in any direction within their own realms. there is no restriction of movement, and I don't know where you get that idea from.

PWrong wrote:I prefer the original idea of having the two planets connected. I tend to distrust any kind of 4D explanation for mass extinction. Ideally, we want two planets orbiting around the same sun. Maybe we need to curve space around in a particular way to make it all fit together.
