Fabric of the cosmos–Mind Blown.

After we’ve read about Simulation Theory, Expansionary theory and now watched the incredible “Fabric of the Cosmos” by NOVA and Brian Greene, your mind is probably (and hopefully) spinning. If you began our math unit certain that the laws of physics and mathematics were “in

Riemann, Einstein, & Linde…How a new geometry, physics and cosmology challenges the immutability of even math based knowledge systems

Euclid’s Geometry seemed pretty immutable…that is until Riemann came along in the mid 19th century and created new axioms of geometry. They were as follows: A.  Two points may determine more than one line B.  All lines are finite in length but endless– i.e. circles
