what are opposites that can never meet?

Question

This is for an art project. The concept is showing the relationship between opposites that can never (physically) meet, such as sunrise and sunset, or birds and fish. That's two... I need at least four more pairings.

Thanks!

Answer 1

East and west ("East is east, and West is west, and never the twain shall meet")

North and south (think poles on the earth)

Red and green (any opposing colors on the wheel)

Night and Day only meet at sunrise and sunset (dusk and dawn)

two sides of a coin

your face and your elbow (or back of your head)

Truth and Lies

Life and death

Answer 2

The longing for a place we have never been and for sights we have never seen even as we realize we will never go there or see that. For me this is the County Cork in Ireland and I am 66 and not likely to travel there. For my sister it is to know a indian life that no longer exists. For some it is the passionate love of wild Bears or Wolves best never realized by most of us.
The deep silent fog that rolls across a mountain pass in the early dawn and makes us feel like our ancestors are present and stareing at us and all our gadgets and noise makers.
The modern day desire to have mythical fairy-folk tiptoeing through our gardens.
Mythical Wizards and modern scientists consorting with each other over the meaning of black holes.
Stone age man with chisel and tablet looking over the shoulder of a computer Geek.
Flint knapers and modern day weapon makers.
Opposites that would be dramatic.
Ice in the center of a fire, Rain dripping off of drought weithered corn. Sunlight trying to reach in through the mouth of a cave. Ducks shooting at a V formation of hunters.
By the way many birds do dive for fish.

Answer 3

Blind Owl, think of it this way. Religion is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, at the least, very difficult to put your hand on it. On the other hand Philosophy is looking for the black cat in the in a dark room, and finding it. While many religious enigmas are being sought by faith with little or no success, Philosophy trough the process of search for truth has offered answer to the mysteries and enigmas of man. In essence "like the opposite poles of a magnet which can never meet one another" is only true if it is only one magnet, for if there were more than one they will attract each other, for as you recall opposite poles do attract each other. Question solved.

Answer 4

Birds and fish, huh? Well, they sure do meet when a pelican comes up with a mouthful from the ocean.

Beware of false opposites!

Many things are different, yes.... the concept of the opposite is another thing altogether.

Answer 5

The opposite poles of a magnet!
East is East, and West is West and never the twain shall meet.

Answer 6

Birds and fish can meet. But the sun and moon we hope never meet. The equator and the artic circle. Space and the center of the earth.

Answer 7

East and West

Answer 8

there are two magnets...random but true they have opposite attractions, two masses of land such as like for instance paris and the us, or virtually any 2 seperate contenents, umm your stomach and your back or your face and the back of your head, or body oarts like your right toe touching the back of your right knee stuff like that, and i guess life and death
good luck
