Hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry obtaining by replacing the parallel postulate with:

For any given line R and point P not on R, in the plane containing both line R and point P there are at least two distinct lines through P that do not intersect R.

Hyperbolic geometry is used in the theory of Special Relativity, specifically in the Minkowski model
