For example, the island of Ko Chang—which is the second or third largest island in Thailand—is nearly antipodal to San Lorenzo Island, which is the largest island of Peru. The antipodes of the Antipodes Islands, considered by early European explorers to be antipodal to the United Kingdom, are the town of Barfleur on France's Cotentin Peninsula.
A polar opposite is the diametrically opposite point of a circle or sphere. It is mathematically known as an antipodal point, or antipode when referring to the Earth. It is also an idiom often used to describe people and ideas that are opposites.
The two points P and P ' (red) are antipodal because they are ends of a diameter PP ', a segment of the axis a (purple) passing through the sphere's center O (black). P and P ' are the poles of a great circle g (green) whose points are equidistant from each (with a central right angle).
A function is called odd (aka antipodal or antipode-preserving) if for every : () = ().. The Borsuk–Ulam theorem is equivalent to the following statement: A continuous odd function from an n-sphere into Euclidean n-space has a zero.
The harrowing ordeals of three Americans jailed in Russia came to a happy ending around midnight on Thursday, when they stepped off a plane and into emotional embraces with family members waiting ...

In logic, the law of non-contradiction (LNC; also known as the law of contradiction, principle of non-contradiction (PNC), or the principle of contradiction) states that propositions cannot both be true and false at the same time, e. g. the two propositions "the house is white" and "the house is not white" are mutually exclusive.
Diametrically opposed points represent a correlation of –1 = cos(π), called anti-correlation. Any two points not in the same hemisphere have negative correlation. An example would be a negative cross-sectional relationship between illness and vaccination, if it is observed that where the incidence of one is higher than average, the incidence ...
