1. straightness

   In geometry, a geodesic () is a curve representing in some sense the shortest path (arc) between two points in a surface, or more generally in a Riemannian manifold. The term also has meaning in any differentiable manifold with a connection. It is a generalization of the notion of a "straight line". The noun geodesic and the adjective geodetic come from geodesy, the science of measuring the size and shape of Earth, though many of the underlying principles can be applied to any ellipsoidal geometry. In the original sense, a geodesic was the shortest route between two points on the Earth's surface. For a spherical Earth, it is a segment of a great circle (see also great-circle distance). The term has since been generalized to more abstract mathematical spaces; for example, in graph theory, one might consider a geodesic between two vertices/nodes of a graph. In a Riemannian manifold or submanifold, geodesics are characterised by the property of having vanishing geodesic curvature. More generally, in the presence of an affine connection, a geodesic is defined to be a curve whose tangent vectors remain parallel if they are transported along it. Applying this to the Levi-Civita connection of a Riemannian metric recovers the previous notion. Geodesics are of particular importance in general relativity. Timelike geodesics in general relativity describe the motion of free falling test particles.

1. straightness

   Straightness refers to the property of a line or path being direct, evenly aligned or not curved or bent. It is characterized by the minimal deviation or divergence from a designated course or direction. In geometrical context, a straight object or line is the shortest possible path between two points. Straightness is also used in broader contexts to indicate honesty, directness or correctness.

Examples of Straightness in a Sentence

1. Frank Oz:

   It seems Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert Ernie are gay. It's fine that Mark Saltzman feels Bert Ernie are. Bert Ernie're not, of course, but why that question ? Does it really matter ? Why the need to define people as only gay ? There's much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness.
