euclid:   

geo: means earth

metry: means measure

euclidean geometry: shapes that exist in flat space

in flat space all shapes are made up of straight lines

science now knows that space is flat   

an endless straight line is the least complicated notion of forever

a triangle is the least complicated two-dimensional shape

a triangle in motion along a straight line has the potential to

continue to move indefinately    and this time we do not stop
