Where does the non-Euclidean geometry come in? OK, I see normal circles, you could interpret that as lines in the hyperbolic plane (though I'm not sure having two planes overlap like that is meaningful), but it's not like that interpretation is necessary and I don't see anything else that suggests non-Euclidean. But I must admit I'm not really too familiar with geometry; anyone else can say?
- jerf 15y agoWell, that's all you're going to get, really, is shapes "inspired by" non-Euclidean geometry. In practice, we live in a world of Euclidean geometry. (Theoretically, this isn't true, but undetectably so on this scale. If you were somewhere where the non-Euclidean nature of our universe could be easily seen on the scale of a couple of feet, you'd be too busy being squashed incomprehensibly flat to be building lego structures.)
