Euclidean space, as a concept, no longer applies.

We live in a 4D Minkowski space.  This is fact.  Being over 100 years
old this fact cannot be called "new."

So why are virtually all people still being inculcated with the
antiquated nonsense of a Euclidean space?

Sure, the approximation of the old Euclidean view is quite sufficient
for everyday practical purposes, but so too is a "flat earth" model
ad we do not, thankfully, inculcate the idea of a flat earth.

It's time to purge the anachronistic Euclidean space model forever
from the common conception.

Especially, the school curriculum, from elementary to post-graduate,
should introduce only the 4D Minkowski space. 

A 4D Minkowski manifold represents the *modern* conception (it even
applies locally in General relativity).  Let us leave the past to
the ancients and start thinking like modern people.
