CIRCLE or SPIRAL ?

As an analogy, try putting a disc instead of a propeller onto
your outboard motor when you need to go boating. Only the spiral
created by the propeller will drive the boat forward in both time
and space.

You can try to return to the exact space from which you left, but
as far as I can see this cannot be done with full accuracy.
there have been changes in the meantime, in space, time and
material (due to the constant exchange of atoms and molecules).

I do not think that the idea of a circle or disc is valid. But,
I could be wrong.
