Non-Euclidean Geometry and Its Connection to Physics
This chapter dives into the concept of non-Euclidean geometry, discussing examples of latitude and longitude lines on Earth and highlighting mathematicians from the 19th century who explored this topic. It explains how parallel lines can curve and meet in non-Euclidean geometries, and how this connects to physics and Einstein's theory of relativity, which describes gravity as a curvature of space.
