Conformal Maps

The video introduces conformal geometry, explaining how it represents space-time infinities with finite surfaces using conformal maps. It uses Escher's art as an analogy to illustrate how infinite spaces can be represented within finite boundaries. The key concept in conformal geometry is the importance of angles over distances, which is crucial for understanding the geometry of space-time.
