Non-Euclidean (Curved) |- | Surface || Flat (like paper) || Curved (like a ball or saddle) |- | Parallel Lines || Never meet || Can cross or diverge |- | Triangle Sum || Exactly 180Β° || Greater or less than 180Β° |- | Analogy || A 'Tabletop' || The 'Earth's Surface' |} '''The Concept of "Self-Evidence"''': For 2,000 years, people thought Euclid's axioms were "Obviously True."
