150 years ago ...

Honestly, somebody reminded me that 150 years ago has died the biggest Hungarian mathematician, Janos BOLYAI (December 2, 1802 -- January 27, 1860). He did something that never has been done before. He proposed a new view about geometry, the so-called "non Euclidean geometry" where the parallels postulate does not hold anymore.
