Abstract

In Science and Hypothesis, Henri Poincaré (1952) explains: “One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Now, Euclidean geometry is, and will remain, the most convenient”. He gives two reasons, firstly because it is the simplest geometry and secondly because it agrees with the properties of natural solids, which we can compare and measure by means of our senses. In showing that the very act of translation does indeed involve a sensory experience, in this chapter I argue for a sense of translation.
