Let X be a connected metric space, let a, b be distinct points of X and let r > 0. Is there a collection {B_i} of finitely many open balls of radius r such that their union is connected and contains a and b.
I was trying to prove this by contradiction, but couldn't derive a contradiction. I can't think of any counterexamples either. Does anyone know whether this statements is true or false?
