There are stars in space that used to follow a straight line, but that was before the big bang. The big bang broke all those straight lines... * * * * * * * You must be talking about...imaginary lines. even ants don't walk a straight line. Straight lines are not of Nature. Parallel liness are an invention of man only... God does not walk a straight line... -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
