The video tutorial explores fundamental concepts in geometry, starting with postulates and axioms, which are accepted without proof. It explains how two points can always form a line and discusses the nature of collinear and non-collinear points. The tutorial further elaborates on how three points can determine a plane and introduces the concept of space, defined by at least four points. A special case is highlighted where three collinear points can lead to an infinite number of planes.
