What does "antipodenpunkte" mean? If you can't find a word about Einstein on the Internet, who should know it? "In addition, the question arises: can we see stars very close to our antipodenpunkte? These stars should also have a negative parallax. But don't forget that the curvature of space is irregular, so the light travels in a medium filled with viscosity." --------From "on cosmology and others - letter to Bessel on March 9, 1917" Albert Einstein's "Einstein Essays (Volume I)" from "Einstein Bessel correspondence", pp. 101-103

2$\begingroup$ From Wiki: "In mathematics, antipodal points of a sphere are those diametrically opposite to each other (the specific qualities of such a definition are that a line drawn from the one to the other passes through the center of the sphere so forms a true diameter). This term applies to opposite points on a circle or any n-sphere" $\endgroup$– MatterGaugeCommented Feb 18, 2022 at 13:44
