Geometry[technical 1] sets out form certain conceptions such as "plane,[1]" "point,"[2] and "straight line,"
with which we are able to associate more or less definite ideas, and from certain simple
propositions[3] (axioms) which, in virtue[4] of these ideas, we are inclined to accept as "true."
Then, on the basis of a logical process, the justification[5] of which we feel ourselves
compelled to admit, all remaining propositions are shown to follow from those axioms, i.e.
they are proven. A proposition is then correct ("true") when it has been derived in the
recognised manner from the axioms. The question of "truth" of the individual geometrical
propositions is thus reduced to one of the "truth" of the axioms. Now it has long been
known that the last question is not only unanswerable by the methods of geometry, but that
it is in itself entirely without meaning. We cannot ask whether it is true that only one
It is not difficult to understand why, in spite of this, we feel constrained to call the
propositions of geometry "true." Geometrical ideas correspond to more or less exact objects
in nature], and these last are undoubtedly the exclusive cause of the genesis of those ideas.
Geometry ought to refrain from such a course, in order to give to its structure the largest
possible logical unity. The practice, for example, of seeing in a "distance" two marked
positions on a practically rigid body[6] is something which is lodged deeply in our habit of
thought. We are accustomed further to regard three points as being situated on a straight
line, if their apparent positions can be made to coincide[7] for observation with one eye, under
suitable choice of our place of observation.
If, in pursuance of our habit of thought, we now supplement the propositions of
Euclidean geometry by the single proposition that two points on a practically rigid body
always correspond to the same distance (line-interval), independently of any changes in
position to which we may subject the body, the propositions of Euclidean geometry[8] then
resolve themselves into propositions on the possible relative position of practically rigid
bodies.1) Geometry which has been supplemented in this way is then to be treated as a
branch of physics]. We can now legitimately ask as to the "truth" of geometrical propositions
interpreted in this way, since we are justified in asking whether these propositions are
satisfied for those real things we have associated with the geometrical ideas. In less exact
terms we can express this by saying that by the "truth" of a geometrical proposition in this
sense we understand its validity for a construction with rule and compasses.Part I: The Special Theory of Relativity

straight line goes through two points. We can only say that Euclidean[9] geometry deals with
things called "straight lines[10]," to each of which is ascribed the property of being uniquely
determined by two points situated on it. The concept "true" does not tally with the
assertions of pure geometry, because by the word "true" we are eventually in the habit of
designating always the correspondence with a "real" object; geometry[11], however, is not
concerned with the relation of the ideas involved in it to objects of experience], but only with
the logical connection of these ideas among themselves.
