Hyperbolic Space Model


A hyperbolic crochet is said to be the most useful model of the theory of hyperbolic space set forth in the 1970s by William Thurston. As one moves away from a point, the space between the 2 objects is multiplied exponentially. A straight line drawn on the model becomes curved when flattened and vice versa.
