Euclidean Space:
The History of Elements according to Jack
A little over two millennia ago, there lived a Greek by the name of Euclid. One sunny day in the beautiful Mediterranean, Euclid was racing along in his fine chariot on the Rameses Toll road on the way to Alexandria (yea, I know that's Egypt! Just read the story). Euclid began to ponder the distance he traveled compared to where he had been and where he was going and how far it would be if he could travel upwards. He then began to think about objects and their angles. After making it to Alexandria, he decided to put all his thoughts and geometric theorems into book form and titled it, "Elements". Euclid said to himself, "YES! Everyone will thank me, for I have brought boredom to a new level!"
Euclid's book became a hit among his Greek and Egyptian counterparts and being the good sport he was, he gave out free copies of is book to all of his friends. They in turn made copies and before Euclid thought about getting an agent, it was too late and he didn't make much money on his views on space, as he believed it to be. When he did finally find an agent, it never became the best seller he'd always wished for until long after he died. Euclid spent the remainder of his days discussing axioms and watching cooking shows on the Egyptian and Greek food network channel.
Nevertheless, he did go down in history as that Greek from Alexandria who wrote that geometry book on everything. Yep, "Elements" became a hit down through the ages except for a few hundred years when folks quit bathing and using toilet paper.
Then one day this crazy thinking Austrian guy started thinking too much and before you knew it he threw a monkey wrench into Euclid's ideas with the notion that gravity changed things too much to the point of disrupting time and space - stupid Einstein!
Anyway, sometimes our own views on time and space are all that matter for the moment. Well, at least for now I deem this, Euclidean Space as defined by the J.T.
