Why do alkynes not show geometrical isomerism?

Answer:
Alkynes are linear and can't have a substituted atom branching off.
Explanation:
Sigma bonds can rotate around and shift. This makes isomers of non-substituted alkanes impossible because the atoms can shift back and forth. Pi bonds, like those in double bonds, can't freely move around.
