I could / should be that ghost - I am late for everything!
Is the euclid reference to the that greek idea of we are only ever halfway between where we are now and where we are going?
That and a lead foot on the accelerator pedal will turn you into this guy! Be careful!
The Euclidean reference is to what happens to normal spacetime when you get too close to the speed of light. You and a stationary observer will disagree vehemently on thing's you'd think were beyond debate, like how much time is passing and how close you are to each other. Euclidean math you could draw on a sheet of graph paper, and it's all intuitive. That other kind takes graph paper printed on a rubber sheet being stretched in a taffy puller....

a propos of nothing much, I remember in Bali on the main road outside the hotel was a sign
"better end late than in hospital"
don't know if it worked
