Everything Everywhere Daily - Non-Euclidean Geometry

If anyone has taken some basic mathematics, you are probably familiar with Euclidian Geometry. Euclidean geometry is what most people just call geometry. 

It is the study of shapes like triangles and circles in a simple plane. This type of geometry was developed over 2000 years ago, and it is based on certain set axioms.

However, later mathematicians challenged one of those axioms, and it completely changed how we thought of geometry.

Learn more about non-Euclidian geometry and what it means in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
