We use these shortest paths, called geodesics, to plan airplane routes and satellite orbits.
To see what our cube-world geodesic looks like, just put the cube back together.
This shows that every geodesic from A to A on the surface of the tetrahedron must pass through another vertex.
On a sphere, straight paths follow “great circles,” which are geodesics like the equator.
Some restaurants such as East Eats, a Detroit restaurant made entirely from geodesic domes, rose to this challenge by constructing seating on platforms that allow for air circulation and investing in domes with windows.
He has access to more than 4,000 feet of elevated tunnels connecting geodesic domes and large enclosures.
The world line of a ray of light is a geodesic in the continuum.
His experiments on the pendulum and Geodesic surveys rendered him famous.
The orders I have to give are simple: The Fleet will head for home by the most direct possible geodesic.
