| abstract | - Right and left describe the two different sections created when there is a division made by a vertical line. To visualize this concept we must see that any object has a left and a right half. For example, if an orange was cut in half, one half would be the left side, and the other half would be the right side. We could also visualize this using a red balloon. Sadly, if a red balloon were to be cut in half around the center, the balloon would pop. To make things more complicated, left and right are opposite in Europe to what they are in North America. This is because America is on the opposite side of the world. They drive on the opposite side of the road, write backwards, and generally try to make things more difficult. The division happens over the Atlantic Ocean, so there is actually an area where left and right are the same thing. This explains the origin of the "Left left left right left" march. In space there is no left and right, which is why there is no gravity.
