Three surfaces of the Earth intersect at a right angle, and people live
on each of them. Two inhabitants
of different worlds cannot live on the same floor, as their notion of what is
horizontal and vertical is not the same. However, they can use
the same staircase, but with one person ascending
and the other descending. Contact between the two
is impossible, for they live
in different worlds, and therefore cannot have
any knowledge of each other's existence
on each of them. Two inhabitants
of different worlds cannot live on the same floor, as their notion of what is

and the other descending. Contact between the two

Three surfaces of the Earth
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.805
intersect at a right angle,
00:00:05.881 --> 00:00:08.087
and people live
on each of them.
00:00:08.164 --> 00:00:10.008
Two inhabitants
of different worlds
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:12.163
cannot live on the same floor,
00:00:12.024 --> 00:00:14.407
as their notion of what is
horizontal and vertical
00:00:14.484 --> 00:00:15.644
is not the same.
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:18.924
However, they can use
the same staircase,
00:00:19.012 --> 00:00:23.163
but with one person ascending
and the other descending.
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.164
Contact between the two
is impossible,
00:00:26.241 --> 00:00:28.044
for they live
in different worlds,
00:00:28.121 --> 00:00:30.125
and therefore cannot have
any knowledge
00:00:30.202 --> 00:00:32.446
of each other's existence.
