Euclidean Space Quote by Arthur Stanley Eddington

“said that in non-Euclidean geometry space has a curvature, but this way of stating the matter is misleading, since it seems to imply a…

— Hendrik Antoon Lorentz

...the differential element of non-Euclidean spaces is Euclidean. This fact, however, is analogous to the relations between a straight line and a curve, and…

— Hans Reichenbach

One of the weird things about modern physics is that we do find there are apparently these other dimensions that we don't directly experience…

— David Grinspoon

It [ non-Euclidean geometry ] would be ranked among the most famous achievements of the entire [nineteenth] century, but up to 1860 the interest was rather slight.

— Ivor Grattan-Guinness

“The question: 'is the Euclidean geometry true?' has no significance for Poincaré, for these is no such thing as one geometry being more true…

— Fulton J. Sheen

I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. These properties we can only speak of…

— Nikola Tesla

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just…

— Stephen Hawking

Some physicists describe gravity in terms of ten dimensions all curled up. But those aren't real words-just placeholders, used to refer to parts of…

— Scott Adams

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for,…

— Carl Friedrich Gauss

“For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine spacial dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten dimensions.”

— Brian Greene

“Moreover, there is no known reason why the geometry of space and time should be described by the particular types of curved geometry defined…

— John D. Barrow

In reality the universe has no geometry.
