If you apply set notation and treat opposite as complement, then the opposite of a clock would be the set of (all objects union all non-objects) which are not in the set of (all clocks).

David:
I am not trying to find the opposite of a clock because such a thing does not exist. I was saying that most everything that exists in reality has no opposite. The clock was just one example.

How did discrete mathematics wind up in this? It doesn't apply! We were talking about a clock, not a set that contains a clock. A clock is not a set, so set notation can not be applied to a clock itself.

Well not if you follow the laws of anti-logic.

ok, the oposite of moving +x is moving -x, right? xyz coordinates. so, if you can't move +x, reducing this to the coordinate system itself, that means that you can't move +x becuase the x dimension does not exist. therefore you can't move -x. so, in order to move +x, you must have dimension x, which means that you must be able to move -x. fyron, you still interested?

What is the opposite to a Sony DVD Player.

Hmm, something that is cheap and can record stuff.
A VHS recorder?

Haven't treid any Sony DVD players but just for the sake of the argument:
Something that is nice to look upon, can keep you occupied for a long time, doesn't need to be plugged into an electricity socket. Doesn't need a TV or any other connected electrical devices to function. Does not need to be fed with round discs.
Perhaps my wife?

(I'm not against DVD's, I like them, just wanted to argue a bit) (This is the room for arguments, right? No, Yes, No , Yes, An argument is simply a contradiction, right! No!, Yes...)
