  • We can explain them, but to do so requires abandoning the faith that Euclidian geometry is the right model, the notion of it as an essential truth about reality.

  • For millennia it was supposed that the alethic morphology of Euclidian geometry was the only relevant geometry to the epistemic certainties of the reality we live in and that it was, indeed, completely relevant — i.e. that the alethic statements were actually epistemic certainties, that this was a “known” fact of how reality worked, that it was essentially “true”.

  • We use it to create alethic morphologies like Euclidian and non-Euclidian geometry.

  • It was, and remains, immeasurably relevant, but where relativity describes space-time curvature it does so with non-Euclidian geometry that was hitherto thought irrelevant, “untrue”.
