    They would meet physically upside down to each other because they went head first, following the arc. When they meet they would see the other as an inverted image. So in order to be parallel one would have to twist around. They now see eye to eye, but the guy who twisted now feels himself to be upside down according to his previous orientation. So in reference to the other guy he is both right side up and upside down at the same time.

    Oh shit I really am an idiot.

    What I mean is as he rights himself with the other guy he experiences being upside down even though they are now level. So Fuck it I give up.

    I don't know, it was jet packs, not wings. Some vertical force is going to have to battle gravity.

    It is actually more complicated than that, because with the example you gave they would never actually meet.

    You said follow the earths arc, which changes depending on how far away the earth is from the sun.

    You didnt take the speed of the earths rotation into account, so one would get to the equator before the other.

    Equator isnt actually the midpoint between the two poles, as tje magnetic poles move.

    Lastly the gulf stream would mean there would be a difference between when they arrive also.

    Yeah, i felt like being THAT guy

    If two guys with jetpacks where going fast enough and couldnt control their flight, maybe surprise buttsex is a variable ;)

    Yes there is always that to consider...But how would they decide who's bottom and who's top, according to my premise?

    It's a look at the relativity of human perception

    In reality there is no up and down on the Earth, only in and out.
    Their heads would be facing out no matter where they were on the surface.

  15. Okay, so basically... What would happen if you were upside down...

    Not quite.
    He is male in the first person, while 'ye' is either gender in the third person. Best modern translation 'you people'.

    If you read my comment. We could put our jet-packs on, turn gravity off and discuss this in greater detail while we were having a cup of tea at that little cafe on the moon.

    HF can be such fun at times. :yum::yum::yum::yum:

    It all sounds so simple,
    But when explained to my physics teacher that if I was on the equator, the centrifugal force of the earths rotation should make me lighter than when I was standing on the north pole, he had the perfect answer....... He told me to 'shut up'..

    Ok but we already know human perception is relative so...doesn't matter. Continue on. No thought police today

    upside down relative to what?

    obviously both or neither, unless someone come up with some other context of situation.

    its been so long since i've perceived my relative, i don't know if i still have any.

    wwsd; what would spock do?

    since they would both be following the curve of the surface, neither would be upside down to anything, unless they were deliberately doing barrel roles or something silly to show off when they met.
