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.
