No you say?       > But isn't space curved? So technically any straight line is actually       slightly curved.              Generally, you cannot have a straight line in a curved surface (except certain       cases, for example a vertical straight line in the surface of a vertical       cylinder). Our space is usually curved only a little, so what we call straight       lines are not perfectly        straight but their deviation from a straight line is negligible for practical       purposes.              > So straight lines do not exist? Then how do we get perfect squares?              They don't exist in our curved space. They can exist in flat spaces, but we       don't live in a flat space.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
