What's On the Opposite Side of the World From You? 

I'm in Auckland New Zealand and My direct opposite is in between Sevilla and Malaga in Spain. I've been to Spain and Portugal and when people would say " oh you're so far away from home" I would say "Yeah I'm literally as far away as I can get".

Everyone should know that the number one rule is to never dig down

It's amazing to me that nearly all land is opposite water. Obviously our planet is covered more by water than by land, but the idea that the continents are nearly perfect cutouts to stick into oceans on the opposite side of the planet is crazy.

Me when I see that the Mc Donald’s island isn’t part of the USA: *impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete*

Flat earthers be in space if they dig down

This makes me remember in first grade when me and my friends tried to dig a hole to China in the playground lol

I love how you mentioned Auckland and Madrid being the most separated cities on the planet but failed to factor in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city which is almost the exact antipode of Madrid, seriously. Wellington's exact antipode would be on the outskirts of Greater Madrid, meaning those two cities are the most geographically separated cities on the planet

For anyone curious it’s actually not that hard to find the exact point most opposite from your location. All you have to do is add/subtract 180 degrees from both the latitude and longitude. You’ll have to mess with the numbers a bit as coordinates are a bit funky with how they start over in places but not super hard.

What is the farthest away one can get from all these people commenting '1st'??

I live in New Zealand and literally spent 10min glaring at my floor think about spain.

“All of Hawaii is opposite of Botswana” Someone in 1900s Botswana try’s to dig a whole straight down to escape the British British: I’m about to end this mans whole career

As someone living in South Africa, i was surprised to realize that Hawaii was literally on the opposite side of the world from us (considering that Botswanna is our neighbour and that Hawaii is the only land in middle of the North Pacific

Everybody is saying stuff like "Hey other guy in New Zealand!" Meanwhile I'm just wondering what species of fish are directly below me.

If you put 2 pieces of bread on 2 opposite cities you would make an earth sandwich

I’m from Madrid and when I went to New Zealand, I had to stop over in Dubai and Australia, so it’s a very long travel but it is an amazing experience.

"The time difference would be exactly 12 hours..." China: *laughs*

Comments in 15 years be like: ”Jokes on you, I’m actually watching this on Mars lmao!”

I'm married to an Indonesian and we can literally say we are from opposite sides of the world. I'm from Colombia and my house hits Java Indonesia. I live in Java right now and to know the time back home I just have to switch DAY to NIGHT and vice versa. Also studied Film in Buenos Aires Argentina but got tired and wanted to learn from a totally different culture so decided to finish studying at Beijing Film Academy which is also exactly opposite of Buenos Aires. Whatsapp calls have a bit more noticeable delay, plane tickets are expensive but since is the furthest I can choose different routes on the way back and visit new places. Earth is wider at the Ecuadorian line so our countries are as far as it gets. Ecuador also hits some parts of Indonesia and Malaysia but I have yet to meet a couple like that. Since you read this far check a 5 minutes film we made in opposite countries, it's under "Planet Zeme" a RU-vid search away from you. Thanks

RLL: maybe a friend is waiting on the other side for you! Me: living in USA Fishes: HELO

Me: Wanting to see what country I’d land in “Southern Pacific” *sadness*

I wonder how many flat-earthers you pissed off

Lmao flat earthers would be triggered

Me being sad realizing I’d be in the middle if the ocean😔

Ah, yes, a fish is probably thinking about what is going on at the opposite side of the globe just as I am.

Think about this someone could be standing directly upside down from you

of course Australia would be in the middle of the ocean, we're always lonely.

I live in Saskatchewan and I gotta say: At least you tried to pronounce the name :)

In the usa: Person 1: "I'm gonna dig through to China!" Person 2: "Beetch! You'll drown!"

Watching from Kaikoura New Zealand, gonna start digging to Spain rn

That’s interesting that the US has that thing about digging straight down to China. The same idea is here in the UK but with the land down under, I remember trying to dig a hole in my back garden to Australia when I was a kid lol.

It blows my mind seeing how much of earth's land mass fits into the pacific ocean at 6:48

Imagine just someone living at the opposite side of the world from you and you send a letter in the mail saying that you live opposite to them in the world

Oh so you just steal my upload time I see how it is...

I have ocean under my feet..cool

It's interesting that, due to the distribution of the climate zones along tropics, your antipode even being at the other side of the globe (as long as is not ocean) will be as the exact dame climate zone at yours. For example, Spain and New Zeland have mediterranean climate and a similar weather, being antipods.

"Unless you're an astronaut then you're watching this on the planet earth" Me: watching from 00FI7665TCT

A big hello to New Zealand from Madrid

I'm learning more on RU-vid than at school. I'm not saying I'm learning nothing at school, there is a bigger variety of things to learn on RU-vid, and the internet. I am a 5 year old that graduated from college when I was 6. So please take me seriously.

The closest-to-farthest-away place for the northeastern quadrant of the USA is typically Perth, Australia. For San Juan, Puerto Rico the closest such point would be Karratha, Western Australia. If you think northern Montana has nasty weather and you are looking for a get-away, then the Kerguelen Islands is not only terribly difficult to get to... it is even more miserable. You might expect that at a latitude of 49 in the ocean that it might be comparatively mild like Vancouver or Dunkirk -- but it is heavily glaciated and it never warms much above freezing even in favored places.

I live in South Ontario, and my antipode is in the Indian Ocean, about 800 kilometers southwest of Perth Australia. In 2007 I had the privilege of getting within a few hundred kilometers of being as far away from home as possible on Earth when I flew from Johannesburg, South Africa to Perth.

That's why we hear steps at night, people are walking on the other-side of the world, while we're trying to sleep.

Huh... I wonder what kind of interesting fish is in my location.

RealLifeLore: “You’re watching this video on Earth.” Aliens: STONKS

Me: Where are my anti-pole friends? Sharks in ocean at the opposite side: Hi I am under the water blublublu

Put a piece of bread somewhere in the Philippines (Luzon for better results) Then put another loaf of bread, and put it in South America on the exact antipode You just made Earth Sandwich

Twenty years ago, I made a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. One of the people I met along the way was a guy from New Zealand. He had looked up the point in New Zealand that is exactly opposite of Santiago and started from there. That guy has made the single longest pilgrimage _ever_ , from one end of the planet to the other. (Of course he didn't _walk_ all the way: he flew from NZ to Spain. But the point still stands)

Very relevant for Pokemon Go players, especially those pursuing the Pilot Medal! Friendships from as close to your Antipode as possible is the best way to get those distant foreign eggs, hatch them, trade them, and register 15,000-20,000 km per trade.

5:38 Impressed with the pronunciation of the Kiwi airport

I'm in Taipei, Taiwan (also called Formosa) and the direct opposite is the Province of Formosa in Argentina.

RealLifeLore: **talks about the other side of North America** Me in Germany: *i also exist :(*

This video is about: Digging straight down Literally every minecrafter: and that’s a rule

I calculated it with my physic professor during high school. And there's Christchurch, New Zealand at the opposite of my town

So basically, all the continents are mostly opposite to water... nice

So whos thinking where i am in the middle of the ocean

Me watching this when it came out thinking that I’d one day travel to my opposite point only to find out that... 3:52

The "dig until you end up in China" is true, but *not* from North America, that's from *South* America. BTW I'm Chilean and yeah it's curious that it's the opposite in terms of both time of the day and season of the year. In twitter many comments about this is about "send me warmth" or "send me coolness" depending on the season (sorry for not being a native english speaker, didn't find a better phrase to describe "coolness" and "warmth"). Currently it's summer here about 20:00 so have some warmth from here people currently in winter.

Mariana Trench is almost under my feet, which means there are some kind of dinosaur fish under me. Hope they don't get in our groundwater...

I’m still amazed about how vast the Pacific Ocean is. 😲😲😲

For what it's worth (not much), I searched how long it would take to fly between two of the large antipodal cities they mentioned, Taipei, Taiwan and Asuncion, Paraguay on a random day, September 16th, 2021. Shortest trip duration leaving Taipei that day is 35 hours, 21 minutes. Taipei to Los Angeles, LA, to Panana City, Panama, then Panama City to Asuncion. Cost $3265 USD. But if you want to go cheaper you can do it for only $676 USD. But it has more stops (Taipei to Tokyo to Dallas to Sao Paulo to Asuncion) and takes 37 hours and 10 minutes. Only 1:49 longer than the fastest route and saves you $2500 USD.

The thought of digging a hole through the world to create a portal to the other side is amazing.

Malaysian 370 could be under me...

Hello people from New Zealand. A Portuguese says hi.

I am from India, now settled in Seattle,USA. I always say to my friends in India, "My rising Sun here is your setting Sun"; pretty much opposite with 12-1/2 hrs time difference. Good to know more about the opposite points from your wonderful informative video. Appreciate much!

When your crush rejects you in front of everyone

I live in west Kazakhstan so if I go to the opposite, I am in point nemo. Yay?...

0:05 Why does the whole of earth look like a desert?

When I was a kid (about 1985ish) I told my dad we were digging a hole to China. He came out to check on our progress and a Chinese girl came out of the hole we were digging. She was the smallest of all of us so that's why we had her dig once we got really deep like 10 feet. My dad fell on the ground crying laughing so hard. And we didn't know what he was laughing at. The neighbor lady came out to see what he was laughing at and as soon as he could get his breath tell her, she then fell on the ground laughing. It's one of my best memories!

Bro did this dude even do research on this video, before he made it? At 0:57 he says that the seasons is the exact opposite of where you are now. It wouldn’t possibly be winter on the other side, if it were to be summer where you are. Winter and summer is determined to where the Earth is compared to the sun, and the trip around the sun is infact, not a perfect circle. It’s an oval, and the sun is not directly in the middle of this oval, it is closer to one of the 2 edges in the oval, than it is to the other one. And when the Earth is closest to the sun, it will be summer, and when it’s the furtherest, then it’s winter. Conclusion: It won’t be winter on the other side of the Earth, if it’s summer on your side.

So, the myth that China is in the other side of the World, is actually true in Chile

and that’s how you make an earth sandwich.

i went travelled from italy to new zealand, 18800kms. it took me 34 hours to get there, 24 of which were spent flying inside 4 planes

Thankyou we got recognition Love from Sealand 🤓

Is there a McDonald's at McDonald island

So I'm Canadian so instead of being in ice, I'll be in water?

everybody: never dig down, u might end up in the ocean singapore, philippines, and brunei: *lol*

My home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is directly opposing Quito, Ecuador. Gotta start digging that hole✊🏼😂

....I'd be in the middle of the Indian Ocean....woopdiedoo

"The island of Borneo in Indonesia" hMMM oK

I'm from Spain, anyone from New Zealand wants to make an Earth sandwich?

This video blew me away. I'm from Madrid and I actually met a new zealender from Auckland once. Who would have said we are in exact opposites of the Earth...

Hello South Pacific Ocean from Germany! 🇩🇪

Where ever you go, don't fly United.

Sending out a big "Aloha" to my antipodes in Botswana! 👋 Hello from the island of Oahu, Hawaii USA

When you showed the map upside-down I tried to flip my phone cause I didn't realize

Any Argentinos or Chileans here? I'm living on the opposite side of you! Hola!

Wanna hear a rap songs in that video? Click these numbers and wait a second till you click the other : 0:11 0:21

As a minecraft veteran, Digging Strait down is the fastest way to get to the opposite side of Earth, *But Also the Most Dangerous*

As someone who frequently goes to New Zealand, I’d love that tunnel and maybe a boat to.

0:16 he literally pinpointed exactly where i live😱

2017 : nah whatever 2018 : nah whatever 2019 : nah whatever 2020 coronavirus : get me an ticket to there

Spain here I come. (I'm from Wellington New Zealand).

It was very interesting thank you for making this video🤔❤❤

My opposite is ocean, southeast of New Zealand. By the way, ever wondered why New Zealand is called New Zealand? There is a Dutch province called Zeeland (zee=sea and land=land) which is quite sea-y, so when the Dutch discovered it, they called it Nieuw Zeeland (nieuw=new)

maybe my future wife waiting for me in the opposite side of the world right now..

I live in Quezon City, and the exact antipode of where I live in is Pontes e Lacerda, at nearly the central point of Brazil's western border. Which is cool because I have many Brazilian friends, and have been to Brazil twice. I think it's a great, beautiful country!

I wanted to go to japan but i live in southern brazil, great.

right now below me 20000 km away there are giant sea creatures having sex

Are there any New Zealanders opposite to where I am now, in Madrid??

Shovels ready, time to start digging!
