I’ve searched online and many of the answers have physics or geometry jargon which I can’t wrap my head around. The last time I studied physics was in highschool & I really only studied enough to pass since I knew I wasn’t going to use it in my university major.

> In geometry, a geodesic (/ˌdʒiː.əˈdɛsɪk, -oʊ-, -ˈdiːsɪk, -zɪk/)[1][2] is commonly a curve representing in some sense the shortest[a] 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”.
