Railroad Tracks: Great Circle Energy Tracks on the Surface of a Sphere: Convex and Concave:
“Dr Einstein pointed out that you could be the little man in the Universe who always went from sphere to sphere and through the points of tangency. You lived inside the concave surface of a sphere and you could get to the point of tangency in the next sphere, and the next sphere, concavely, and you could go right through the Universe that way. Or you could be the little man who lived on the outside of the sphere, and always lived convexly, and you came to the same point of tangency and you went on. This is one way of looking at Universe and the sphere is another way of looking at Universe. This is typical of not being fooled by just looking at the spheres-- or just looking at the little triangle locally on the surface of your big sphere where you had your big triangle. This is beginning to give us ways of seeing the complementarity at all times.”
