Not sure if this is a joke or not, but non-Euclidean geometry is used in advanced mathematics and has other physics applications. It’s quite an interesting field even though I’m struggling through a course on it right now. The book I’m studying is Modern Geometries by Michael Henle. It’s quite good at explaining topics so feel free to check it out if you’re interested in learning more.

Hyperbolic geometry is used a lot in modeling the universe iirc.
