In this paper it is described the emergence of non-Euclidean geometries in the XIX century and the impact this mathematical revolution had, turning the century, on systemic metascientific thoughts and, particularly, in philosophy of mathematics, generating a new theoretical ground called Metamathematics. Likewise, it is shown its influence in cosmology and mathematical logics. Main figures in this story: Eudoxo, Euclides, Saccheri, Kant, Lobachevsky, Bolyai, Gauss, Riemann, Beltrami, Klein, Poincaré, Frege, Peano, Hilbert, Russell, Whitehead, Minkowski, Einstein, Wittgenstein, Carnap, Gödel.
