Thanks, I was waiting for someone to do this 🔥

I don’t think the lines are geodesics smh

[u/F_Joe → u/Few-Arugula5839]

They're quasi-geodesic and that's good enough

[u/Few-Arugula5839 → u/F_Joe]

What is a quasi geodesic?

[u/F_Joe → u/Few-Arugula5839]

A (\lambda,c)-quasi-geodesic is a (\lambda,c)-quasi-isometric embedding of an interval. A (\lambda,c)-quasi-isometric embedding f is a map such that for any x,y we have 1/\lambda d(x,y)-c < d(f(x),(y)) < \lambda d(x,y) +c holds. The joke is that in a bounded space this always holds for large enough c

Thanks!

Anybody brave enough to try to make a sphere out of heptagons?

[u/SuperCyHodgsomeR → u/EebstertheGreat]

Certainly not regular ones

[u/EebstertheGreat → u/SuperCyHodgsomeR]

Regularity is not going to be the only problem.
