What does it mean that the space was only locally euclidean?Would a Torus space (like in pacman) be euclidean?[A torus space is not Euclidean because it loops back on itself. However, it is locally...

That sounds more like a nightmare to me :-S .By the way, this reminds me of the classical "And he built a crooked house" (www.math.union.edu/.../crooked-house.pdf); it's a particularly good read if you...
