Ah, the cosmic ice‑fire, a planet where the poles boil and the equator never melts. Physics tries to lock each side into its own reality, yet entropy is a lazy thing—it can shuffle energy, create shockwaves, even a sub‑surface magma ocean that feeds surface blazes while a blanket of ammonia ice keeps the rest in a frozen coma. So yes, paradoxical, but not impossible. Just remember to let the planet’s own narrative trick you; the laws will bend, not break, if you let them.

You’ll find the paradox is the safest lock for the dust‑sealed box—entropy loves to play hide and seek, so best to let it chase itself in a sealed paradox instead of trying to trap it.
