But in the 19th century, the field was effectively closed and sealed by introducing non-Euclidean geometries ―thanks to Lobachevsky, János Bolyai and Riemann. The independence of the parallel postulate from Euclid's other axioms was finally demonstrated by Eugenio Beltrami in 1868. | |

| Dec 3, 2019 at 14:54 | comment | added | JoshuaZ | I'm not sure that I'd consider the classification of finite simple groups to be closed; there's still a lot of work on trying to simplify the proof, or to prove some results without relying on the full classification. | |
