I'm not quite sure whether what I am asking is a valid question, however I have come across two different 'geometries': Euclidean and Minkowski (I have also heard of differential geometry, Riemannian geometry, elliptical geometry but I don't know much about these). In Euclidean geometry, we don't involve time whereas in Minkowski we do. In Minkowski we also have a different distance measurement...

I am not sure whether I am perhaps mixing up a 'geometry' with 'a list of properties of spacetime' in the last part...

And I apologise that my question seems to be based in physics; I am interested in geometries in general , but am just a first year general science undergraduate so my examples are simple physics-based ones.
