if i am walking on the outside of your left side and we turn right, why am i on the inside of your left side?

because the street is the outside all around the corner, the only way to keep position is to turn left, or walk backwards.

a compass tells you which way is north. once you know where north is you can tell in which directions south, east, and west is.

yes we are at a crossroads, we can't turn to the RIGHT....we already been down that old road and it is falling apart and DANGEROUS!  \nAll signs point to the LEFT...YIPPEE!!!!

A sheriff's deputy stopped me for making a left turn.  He was offended because I did not not yield the right of way to him.  I explained that he was making a right turn and that we both had a free lane to turn into therefore there was no need to yield him the right of way.  I then pointed out that after I had made my legal turn he turned directly into my lane so he was the one who needed a ticket!  He grumbled a bit and sent me on his way.

Hey U Gotta Perfectly Good Explanation, \nIts LIke The Sign That I Saw It Said "Right Turn: -  Must Turn Right"

In the opposite direction of the applied force or motion

I was once told if you are left handed you use the right side of your brain and if you are right handed you use the left side.  So, I guess it would depend.

Only if it's right to go left.

because one side cancels the other since it's symmetrical

I always thought it was the left hand because it was closest to the heart, but I don't know the answer

Up and down are defined by where you feel gravity pulling. Usually all you see will be pulled into the same direction as yourself, so everything will appear right side up.\n\nHowever, unless you live on the north pole, your "up" won't be identical to "north". The angle by which your "up" direction is different from north is called latitude. My guess is that you live at roughly 45° latitude, that half sideways. Still feels like upright, doesn't it?

It's because left and right are relative terms, while up and down refer more to absolutes.  If were facing east looking into a mirror, our right hand would be south, and our left hand north.  Referred to north and south, there is no inversion--move your "north hand" and the image's "north hand" moves; move your south hand and the images south hand moves.  The problem is that left/right is a special sort of orientation that is centered from ourselves and distinguishes from two symmetrical sides of ourselves.  You right hand looks like the reflection of you left hand, but when you look at the reflection of your left hand, that reflect is still on *your* left.  If you imagine that the image reflected is some different person, and you try to set up a left/right orientation with resepct to the person in the mirror, it will be backwards--but that's only because it is erroneous to think that the reflection of your right hand is your reflection's left hand.  It isn't; it just looks like a left hand because our bodies display left/right symmetry.  If your head looked like the mirror image of your feet, you might make the same mistake, but the body does not display any manner of top/bottom symmetry.

They don't reverse light they bounce it back the same way it enters. Your left side in the mirror is on the left side of the mirror and your right is on the right. A person facing you is reversed because they are turned in the opposite direction.

Going SIDEWAYS in the US? You mean BACKWARDS surely?

I am also left handed, but I do not understand your question.  Please elaborate.  I'd like to help.

There are actually an infinite number of answers to this old puzzle.  The traditional answer is of course, "You are at the North Pole."\n\nThis assumes that the walking "1 mile due east" portion is defined as "keeping the north pole directly left of you as you walk", or inversely, "keeping the south pole directly right of you as you walk".  Thus when you walk to the east, you simply make a 1-mile arc about the north pole.\n\nAnother set of infinite answers is "any point 1 + 1 / (2 * pi) miles away from the soth pole".  Following the directions, you will walk one mile toward the south pole, then walk one mile east which will take you *in a complete circle around the south pole*, then one mile back north to your starting position.\n\nFollowing this logic, you can find an infinite number of circles as a solution.  For example, "any point 1 + 1 / (4 * pi) miles away from the south pole" will have the easterly portion of the walk take you completely around the south pole *twice*.  And "any point 1 + 1 / (6 * pi)" will walk you around the south pole three times, etc.
