What is the definition of logical illogical?
Saying the "logical illogical" is equivalent to saying "logical magick". "Magick" is that which the logical mind considers impossible. "Logical" and "illogical" are both "polar opposites", and just two of the many ways of being, one of which is "logical illogical": order WITH chaos, and chaos WITH order. There is great beauty in mathematics based on imaginary numbers (logical illogical).

What is the collective noun for polar bears?
Polar bears are solitary creatures; normally the only group of polar bears is a mom and some cubs, a family group. However, when several polar bears do end up together, the collective nouns are an aurora of polar bears or a pack of polar bears. Although pack is one of the collective nouns given, I believe that it's a misnomer since a pack infers a group working together like a pack of dogs, wolves, or coyotes. But even when polar bears are together, they don't work together.
What is the Difference between opposite and polar opposite?
Opposite by definition; " Having a position on the other or further side of something." Polar opposite, is essentially the opposite of something that is of the further* side. Ergo, all polar opposites are opposites, but not all opposites are polar. For example: Word: Famous (Known about by many people) A polar opposite: Infamous (Well known for some bad quality or deed) Ordinary opposite Unknown (Not known or familiar) In summary, a polar opposite, is an opposite of the word within the same 'field' if you will.
What is polar displacement?
Polar displacement. I think what your referring to if we are talking in a geological sense is actually called polar wandering and it is the apparent movement of the north and south poles over geological time however the poles are actually not the objects moving it is the continental landmasses under plate tectonics moving the land under the poles. The poles do move slightly before they reverse however plate tectonics is the main cause of polar wandering.

What is polar wandering?
Polar wandering refers to the movement of the Earth's magnetic poles over long periods of time. This movement is caused by changes in the Earth's magnetic field due to processes happening in the Earth's core. By studying polar wandering, scientists can understand the history and evolution of the Earth's magnetic field.
