Abstract
At the end of this chapter, the big picture towards Relativity will emerge. Before discussing all the details and the proofs, we intend to sketch it now. The most known models for Non-Euclidean Geometry are the Poincaré disk model and the Poincaré half-plane model. Another related model, the exterior disk model, can be figured and presented. Two other models will be highlighted: the hemisphere model and the hyperboloid model. The first three models are connected among them by inversion.
