Does spacetime bending contradict the universe following euclidean geometry?

Spacetime by its definition is non-Euclidean; even a special relativistic treatment of spacetime shows that pretty quickly. … One indication of this early on in relativistic studies is that while two lines in, let’s say, a Minkowski-spacetime diagram look to be the same length, they are by no means the same length. …
