But the amount of space it takes up is spherical because it moves at high speed. It’s actually a wave.

Take any point on a sphere, and roll the sphere along a path.

The trace of the point will make a wave on a chart.

Now, that has absolutely nothing to do this, of course.

I don’t think so. Not a sine wave, anyway. The point will move more slowly when it’s near the bottom, and more quickly near the top, resulting in something more like a series of hops than a sine wave.
