antipodisten

Antipodisten refers to people or things that are diametrically opposite to each other on Earth. The term comes from the Greek words "anti" meaning opposite and "pous" meaning foot. Therefore, antipodisten are those who live on the opposite side of the globe. If you were to draw a straight line through the center of the Earth from your location, your antipodisten would be at the other end of that line. For example, the antipodisten of most of Europe are located in the Pacific Ocean.

The concept of antipodisten has been explored throughout history, with early scholars debating their existence and characteristics. The idea of people living "upside down" on the other side of the world was a common philosophical and scientific curiosity. Today, with modern geography and satellite imagery, the precise antipodisten locations for any point on Earth can be easily determined. While the term is primarily used in a geographical context, "antipodisten" can also be used metaphorically to describe any two things that are completely contrary or opposite.
