Other than that, I think most of the sphere should be accessible, although there may be focussing effects that favour the centres of the hexagonal faces, which are the points of lowest potential energy on the sphere. | |
| Oct 1, 2016 at 1:08 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | It looks like escape happens only through hexagonal faces. Is this always the case? And are the outer trajectories always perpendicular to a hexagonal face? Gerhard "Normal Is Easier To Spell" Paseman, 2016.09.30. | |
