Impossible! Jimbo is at or near an all-time low... even *bragging* about other venues where he had had his head handed to him on a silver plate... several times!

Stick a fork in Jimbo, he is done! Just like next week's turkey!

technical references, that show you delusional babble is in fact
delusional babble?

The point is that consistent geometries exist in which it is true 
(Euclidean), and false (spherical, for example), and in which the other 
four axioms are true.

If it were possible to prove the fifth from the other four, then it 
could be proved in spherical geometry, where there are obvious 
counter-examples.

Similarly, if it could be proved false from the other four, then it 
would be proved false in Euclidean geometry, again, despite obvious 
counter-examples.

So neither proof nor disproof from the other axioms is possible. It is a 
genuine axiom in its own right, tells you whether or not you're dealing 
with Euclidean geometry.

You've accepted a conventional wisdom that has been applied by others
before us. Factually proof does not *have* to come from the other 
postulates.

The logic train you've accepted has limitations that IMO are ar5tificial
but need not actually limit the problem.

I accept Einstein's E=mc^2. Where the hell did it come from? Certainly
it was a deviation from the knowledge stream that came before. We cannot
today point at something and say, yes, it grew out of *that*. I predict
that Euclid's fifth postulate is similar, but that proof is much more
difficult.

You know, for most of mankind's history it was thought that we could
never achieve a four minute mile. Until someone actually achieved that
and then it because a regular occurrence. "It can't be done" should
raise all sorts of red flags.

This is pseudo-intellectual drivel.

Proof in mathematics has a particular meaning. Things cannot be proved 
if they are not necessarily true.

Absolute certainty is one of the most critical of failures.

Remember this day. You will need it later. If you are fortunate.
