This text considers the geometrical properties of space and time from the viewpoint of mechanics and cosmology. Concentrating on the boundary between geometry and physics, it focuses on the border region which can be neglected in works on either fields.
Philosophers, physicists and mathematicians - Kant, Helmholtz, Einstein and Hilbert - have written about the connection between physics and geometry. This text is an elementary illustration of this fundamental question. It considers the geometrical properties of space and time from the viewpoint of mechanics and cosmology. Concentrating on the boundary between geometry and physics, it focuses on the border region which can be neglected in works on either fields. The reader needs only a college acquaintance with geometry and mechanics.

The world of space and time - time-tables, surveying space-time; reflection and collision - geometry and reflection, the reflection of mechanical motion; the relativity principle of mechanics and wave propagation; relativity theory and its paradoxes; the circle disguised as hyperbola; curvature: spheres and hyperbole shells, the universe; the projective root of the geometries of the plane; the nine geometries of the plane; outlook; appendices: reflections, coordinates, projective geometry, the transition from the projective to the metrical plane classification, the metric.
