  • Poincare's geometry book

    Poincare's geometry book
    In 1894 Poincare came out with a geometry book that argued that geometry was something of a formal property within a continuous group and purported that space is a group. He then further came up with a constructive definition of what geometrical space is like. He argued for impressions being without feeling of muscular sensations or voluntary motor action accompanied by muscular sensations.
  • Poincare's 4 types of hypothesis

    Henri Poincare’s view was that there was a great similarity in arithmetic leading up to geometry leading up to physics and so forth. This relativity that he comes up with is coined by a set of hypotheses. In 1902, he put out the knowledge to inform the world of his perspective of how he surveys the outcomes dealing with experiments.
  • Poincare and physics

    In 1905, Poincare answered the question as to what to do with experiments or the outcome of proposed theories. He said that you can do one of two things and that is: either leave it in the fray according to its approximate or raise the bar by making one’s conventions a principle that can be further demonstrated. There are physical induction, experiments, and mathematics, then it goes to laws and one’s general hypothesis.
