R. Buckminster Fuller and Anne Hewlett Dome Home spirit of Fuller's hope for "omni-successful education and sustenance for all of humanity." The Fuller Dome is led by a board of directors composed of educators, architects, designers, artists, professors emeriti, community organizers and leaders representing a diverse conflucen of individuals who are dedicated to manifesting Bucky's ideals today. R. Buckminster Fuller and Anne Hewlett Dome Home The R. Buckminster Fuller and Anne Hewlett Dome Home, located at 407 S. Forest Ave. in Carbondale, Illinois, is a geodesic dome house which was the residence of Buckminster Fuller from 1960 to 1971. The house, inhabited by Fuller while he taught at
Geodesic deviation "geodesic". The "geodesic deviation equation" relates the Riemann curvature tensor to the relative acceleration of two neighboring geodesics. In differential geometry, the geodesic deviation equation is more commonly known as the Jacobi equation. To quantify geodesic deviation, one begins by setting up a family of closely spaced geodesics indexed by a continuous variable "s" and parametrized by an affine parameter τ. That is, for each fixed "s", the curve swept out by γ(τ) as τ varies is a geodesic. When considering the geodesic of a massive object, it is often convenient to choose τ to be the object's proper time.
