duelingdragons Posted March 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2009 Say for some reason the planet Earth had to represent itself to aliens... would you say NYC would be picked as the planetary capital? Other choices IMO would be: A) Tokyo Paris C) London D) Moscow (?) I'd say NYC is the capital of the world. It is a social, political, cultural, and economic mecca that just cannot be compared to.

MTR Admiralty Posted March 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2009 I'd say NYC... it has always been a melting pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted March 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2009 I'd say it's a tie of london and NYC. There are more countries represented in UK than US. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted March 5, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 5, 2009 It's London. London has more history than New York plus it's closer to the center of the world. Both cities are diverse. New York is slightly larger. London has a better subway system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted March 5, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 5, 2009 NYC. Why? The United Nations is in NYC. If they see thats where all the nations leaders meet... that must be the capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted March 5, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 5, 2009 "The center of the world"... that doesn't really make sense. Research the prime meridian as well as the meaning of GMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duelingdragons Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted March 5, 2009 I understand that what the Prime Meridian and GMT are.... but eh... that doesn't define the "CENTER" of the world. That can't really be determined, and if you were to be completely accurate, wouldn't it be where 0 latitude and 0 longitude would be? (Atlantic Ocean south of Ghana IIRC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 5, 2009 Well in that vase, I vote for the Earths' Core to be the capital of the world. It literally is the center of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yearsnowlost Posted March 6, 2009 Share #19 Posted March 6, 2009 I would tell the alien that it's subjective, and that he can choose whatever he wants. Agreed. It would be up to the alien to observe all of our characters and make an educated, informed decision in regards to which city would be picked, if they indeed wanted to see a city to represent Earth. That would be a good alien (lol Beowuf reference, school is getting to me... :confused:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
