The fifth postulate How unraveling a two-thousand-year-old mystery unraveled the universe
It's the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and Euclidean geometry has been profoundly influential for centuries. One mystery remains, however: Euclid's fifth postulate has eluded for two thousand years all attempts to prove it. What happens when three nineteenth-century mathematicians rea...

One mystery remains, however: Euclid's fifth postulate has eluded for two thousand years all attempts to prove it.

Jason Socrates Bardi shares the dramatic story of the moment when the tangible and easily understood world we live in gave way to the strange, mind-blowing world of relativity, curved space-time, and more | ||
