Parallel lines meet where?
Happy Fence Friday!!
In the realm of Euclidean geometry we can refer to Euclid's 'Elements' 5th Postulate, and 23rd Definition "Parallel straight lines are straight lines which, being in the same plane and being produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction."
However, if we work in the domain of Projective Geometry, parallel lines meet at a 'Vanishing point' or 'Point at infinity' . Enough said!!!
