Abstract: This talk will introduce hyperbolic 3-space, a negatively curved geometry where straight lines diverge from one another exponentially fast.

We focus on the intrinsic geometry of hyperbolic space through trying to reimagine some aspects of daily life when geometry acts in this new and surprising way. In particular, we will focus on some of the perils of visiting such a world for beings like us accustomed to flat space (spoilers: lots of seemingly innocuous activities such as riding on a train or trying the ferris wheel at a carnival prove to be fatal!!)
