The Pseudosphaera Monument
The Pseudosphera monument is in the Bolyai square, Targu Mures, Romania. It was made for the 200 th aniversary of Bolyai Janos in 2002 december 15th. John is his lifetime made some researches in mathematics, and he is the one who discovered the "Hyperbolic geometry" known as the non-Euclidean geometry.
The monument was designed by Horvath Sandor who wasnt a professional sculptor, but a mathematician, and a big admiror of Bolyai Janos. The base of the monument is a 6 leveled stair covered in green marble than was broughtn from India. On the seventh level lies a tubular square structure, that also has a mathematical meaning. In the center of this structure is a piece of the pseudosphere in the shape of a bell.
The monument has a special secret. With the help of a disguised mirror system, every year on November the 3rd at a certain hour a quote is highlighted that is placed on the stairs. The quote says: " Out of nothing I created a whole new world". This quote was part of a letter that John wrote for his father on November the 3rd 1823 explaining his discovery.
