Geometry and Experience

Extended version of a lecture held by Einstein, Berlin 1921

Einstein rejects the global validity of Euclidean geometry in reality:

As far as the theorems of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.

A. Einstein, Geometrie und Erfahrung
