Quotes by Bernhard Riemann

Now it is known that the space of our actual world is not Euclidean, but has a positive curvature.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The properties of space, as we know them from experience, are not necessary consequences of the concept of space in general, but are empirical facts.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The question of the validity of the hypotheses of geometry in the infinitely small is connected with the question of the inner ground of the metric relations of space.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The concept of a multiply extended magnitude, which is independent of the choice of coordinates, is the fundamental concept of geometry.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The metric relations of space are determined by the sum of the squares of the differential elements of the coordinates.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The nature of the real world is not Euclidean, but has a positive curvature.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The space of our actual world is not Euclidean, but has a positive curvature, and the sum of the angles of a triangle is greater than two right angles.

On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry

The properties of space, as we know them from experience, are not necessary consequences of the concept of space in general, but are empirical facts, which are subject to the laws of causality.
