Tuzogoe: Uliza swali la kizushi, tukujibu!

If an object is traveling in a straight line in bent non-Euclidian space, is it traveling in a straight line regardless of the topology of the space? Or is it traveling in a bent line because the space it travels straight in is bent?

What kind of "swali la kizushi" is this 😅

Anyway:
The object is traveling along a geodesic, which is the “straight line” of curved space. Inside that space, it’s as straight as it gets. But if you step outside and look at it from a flat-Euclidean perspective, it looks bent; kind like politicians—straightforward if you ask them, noticeably crooked if you step back far enough.
 
Hahaa. But is it straight or crooked?
