what is on the other side of the world from my house? I was thinking about this yesterday on my drive home. I hope its something cool. What is the easiest way this can be achieved?

VERY long drill.

The Earth is flat.

Does no one learn about longitude and latitude anymore?

Opposite long and lat

I understand how that works but I am just lazy and want to ask the internet to do it for me.😀

Use http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html to get your lat and long.

Calculate the opposite by flipping the sign on the lat and adding 180 to the long.

Put the new coordinates into maps.google.com


The opposite of my house is a point in the Indian Ocean Southeast of Madagascar.

If you are East of the Meridian, subtract 180 from the long.

Lame, its just about 1500 miles southeast of Madagascar. Nothing but water...

Pretty much the entire continental USA is going to be somewhere in that region.

Start digging.

What is that?

On the latitude, take the negative. So if you're 30 latitude, the opposite would be -30 latitude.

Closest land is the French Southern & Antarctic Islands.

Interesting thought, If you were to dig a hole directly to the core of the earth, would the rest of the ground fall on you once you got there? Assuming you don't burn from the magma, that is.

Just a short swim and I'm in Australia. Woot.
