If you are willing to start stretching space then we can throw all the polygon definitions out the window. With a strong enough curve in space a sphere can start having corners.


No, polygons in non-Euclidean space makes sense. Polygons and more generally, geometric simplicial complexes in other spaces is a branch of mathematics all by itself (geometric group theory), so you certainly shouldn't "throw it out the window".


That can get arbitrarily close to true, but I think it is false


Can it ?
