minus-square@Zkuld@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months agoI would guess on a sphere these can be straight yes: The pole goes into the center of cicular thing and radius of the sphere needs to put the other arc on one latitude.
minus-square@NateNate60@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 months agoEuclid’s first postulate: Give two points, there exists exactly one straight line that includes both of them.
minus-square@supernicepojo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months agoThis only applies in 2nd order real space. Euclidean geometry aside, I agree with at least one line could exist between two points
