- A picture illustrating coordinate lines 'swooping' through physical space.
In curved space, geodesics are curved relative to lines which are straight in the coordinate system. I remember seeing a text book that illustrated the corollary, the coordinate lines 'swooping' through physical space. I wish to reference it. I thought it was in 'Gravitation' by Milner Thorn & Wheeler, but if it is, I can't find it now.
