1 08. Non-Euclidean Geometry 1. Euclidean Geometry The Elements. ~300 B.C. ~100 A.D. Earliest existing copy 1570 A.D. First English translation 1956 Dover Edition 13 books of propositions, based on 5 postulates.
2 Euclid's 5 Postulates 1. A straight line can be drawn from any point to any point. A B 2. A finite straight line can be produced continuously in a straight line. A B 3. A circle may be described with any center and distance. 4. All right angles are equal to one another.
3 5. If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side together less than two right angles, then the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the angles are together less than two right angles. θ φ θ + φ < 90! Euclid's Accomplishment: showed that all geometric claims then known follow from these 5 postulates. Is 5th Postulate necessary? (1st cent. - 19th cent.) Basic strategy: Attempt to show that replacing 5th Postulate with alternative leads to contradiction.
4 Equivalent to 5th Postulate (Playfair 1795): 5'. Through a given point, exactly one line can be drawn parallel to a given line (that does not contain the point). John Playfair ( ) Only two logically possible alternatives: 5 none. Through a given point, no lines can be drawn parallel to a given line. 5 many. Through a given point, more than one line can be drawn parallel to a given line.
5 2. Non-Euclidean Geometry Case of 5 none O Result #1: The sum of the interior angles of a triangle may be more than 2 right angles. A B Pick any straight line. Erect perpendiculars. Perpendiculars must meet at some point, call it O. Thus: Angles of OAB sum to more than 2 right angles!
6 Case of 5 none O O' A B C Take same straight line. Mark off equal intervals AB = BC. Perpendiculars from A and B must meet at some point O, and perpendiculars from B and C must meet at some point O', not necessarily identical to O. But: OBA is congruent to O'BC ("angle-side-angle") and AB = BC. So: Side OB = side O'B. Thus O must indeed be identical to O'.
7 Case of 5 none O A B C Take same straight line. Mark off equal intervals AB = BC. Perpendiculars from A and B must meet at some point O, and perpendiculars from B and C must meet at some point O', not necessarily identical to O. But: OBA is congruent to O'BC ("angle-side-angle") and AB = BC. So: Side OB = side O'B. Thus O must indeed be identical to O'.
8 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Repeat construction. All triangles are congruent: OAB OBC OCD... All angles at O are equal: "AOB = "BOC = "COD =... All lines from O are equal: OA = OB = OC = OD =...
9 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
10 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
11 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
12 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
13 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
14 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O.
15 Case of 5 none O A B C D E F G Distance in direction of AG is proportional to angle subtended at O. Maximum angle subtended at O is 360!, which must correspond to a maximum distance in direction of AG. Result #2: All straight lines eventually close on themselves!
16 Case of 5 none O K Note: There exists a point K on the (straight!) line AG such that "AOK = 1 right angle. Sum of angles of OAK = 3 right angles! For small triangles, sum of angles 2 right angles. A B C D E F G
17 Case of 5 none L M O K A OAK is equilateral (all angles equal). So OA = AK. Same for OKL, OLM, OMA. So radius OA = AK = KL = LM = MA. So circumference = AK + KL + LM + MA = 4 radius < 2π radius Can also show: area = 8/π (radius) 2 < π (radius) 2
18 Case of 5 none Our construction maps 1-1 to the top hemisphere of a 3-dim sphere!
19 Case of 5 none Our construction maps 1-1 to the top hemisphere of a 3-dim sphere! 5 none geometry = spherical geometry = 2-dim geometry of surface of a 3-dim sphere. Generalized 5 none geometry = n-dim geometry of surface of (n+1)-dim sphere. Euclidean geometry is "flat". Spherical geometry is "positively curved".
20 Def. 1. A great circle on a sphere of radius R and center C, is any circle with radius R and center C. Pass plane through center: where it intersects sphere defines a great circle Def. 2. A geodesic is the shortest distance between two points. Claim: On the surface of a sphere, the geodesics are given by great circles. On the surface of a sphere: There are no parallel straight lines. The sum of angles of a triangle > 2 right angles. The circumference of any circle < 2π radius. Tighten up a Euclidean circle -- remove wedges from it.

24 Case of 5 many 5 many geometry = hyperbolic geometry = geometry of surfaces of negative curvature. Example: surface of a saddle (hyperbolic paraboloid)
25 Case of 5 many 5 many geometry = hyperbolic geometry = geometry of surfaces of negative curvature. Example: surface of a saddle (hyperbolic paraboloid) many straight lines thru point that never meet initial straight line On the surface of a saddle: any straight line There are indefinitely many lines through a given point that are parallel to any given straight line. The sum of angles of a triangle < 2 right angles.
26 The circumference of a circle > 2π radius. Loosen up a Euclidean circle -- add wedges to it. Euclidean circle (dotted line) with circumference = 2πR. Wavey hyperbolic circle with circumference > 2πR.

33 1868: Eugenio Beltrami demonstrates that hyperbolic geometry is logically consistent. 1871: Felix Klein demonstrates that elliptical (spherical) geometry is logically consistent. Eugenio Beltrami ( ) Felix Klein ( ) So: Euclidean geometry is not a necessary precondition for a consistent description of the spatial aspects of the physical world. Immanuel Kant ( ) "Space is a necessary a priori representation, which underlies all outer intuitions. We can never represent to ourselves the absence of space, though we can quite well think it as empty of objects. It must therefore be regarded as the condition of the possibility of appearances, and not as a determination dependent on them." (1781) Euclidean geometry is a consistent axiomatic system: Given Euclid's 5 postulates, all other Euclidean claims can be derived, and no contradictory claims can be derived. Kant: Euclidean geometry is necessary and universal; a necessary precondition for experiencing the world.
34 Can this still be maintained?! Perhaps humans are predisposed to perceive the world in Euclidean terms, even though the world might not be Euclidean. But: Kant's claim is stronger than this. Statements in Euclidean geometry are necessary and universal truths about the world. And: With the development of consistent non-euclidean geometries, this can no longer be the case.! Is Euclid's 5th Postulate a necessary and universal truth?! Not if hyperbolic or elliptic geometry is true of the world. What geometry is true of the world is now a matter of empirical inquiry, and no longer a matter of pure reason alone. One can thus distinguish between: (a) pure geometery: statements are analytic a priori. (b) applied geometry: statements are synthetic a posteriori.
