I am looking for a defination which will apply on earth and anywhere in the 
universe. Also I would like to know how it (a straight line} can practicably be 
established or determined anywhere in the universe. I have a hunch that it may 
have something to do with the path of a photon but am not sure about this. 
Thanks
