Need him to explain to my ex that she isn't the centre of the universe

[@johnstevenson9956]

His most impressive accomplishment to me, defending his mother. How often does a person convince a superstitious group of people that reasoning and logic are valid?

[@DahliaAsmr143]

Not me looking up the Kpop group and ending here instead 💀

[@gohjunshan9154]

any kep1er fans here coming to know what this dude is all about?

[@seanfeeney3790]

Brahe’s mustache deserves a Nobel.

[@drakenovy1038]

On my grandma's mothers side of the family they are the Keplers and a DNA test helped us learn we're the same Keplers, watched this learn more about my ancestor.

[@rationallyruby]

I had an ancestor, specifically my 13th great grand father named Robert Glover who was known as “The Martyr” of Eton and Kings College who was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1555. He was killed during this time for being a Protestant and refused to convert to Catholicism. This is the same Reformation that Simon is talking about. Just thought I’d share!

[@Phantom_FlameXD]

Do a biographic on yourself!!!

[@acetate909]

Kepler was also an enthusiastically colorful writer. His infinitely curious nature is reflected in his prose. The essays that he wrote about snowflakes are a worth reading.

[@rexfulgur8588]

I like learning about mathematicians and scientists such as Kepler. I would also like learning about Simon Whistler's life. That's be great.

[@devenscience8894]

Notice at

[@NephewNeptune]

More philosophers/scientists/and mathematician videos please. Its like learning about 2 or 3 things at once. Thank You Simon!

[@idjles]

Simon, you did such a beautiful job with Kepler’s story. Thank you, it moved me to tears.

[@romanwolf0072]

Okay, you convinced me, lets get a video on the 30 Years War.

[@notation254]

Kepler is one of my favorite people of science. The laws of planetary motion still amaze me, especially that he figured them out so long ago... a true genius of his time.

[@bekluwe]

He was a friend of an other German astronomer. His friend was Wilhelm Schickard, which invented the first mechanical calculator in 1623 also known as computer.

[@artkoenig9434]

Thank you for a witty encapsulation of a historical period which deserves better coverage. Kepler was one of the giants on whose shoulders Newton was able to stand.

[@horizonbrave1533]

He saved his freaking mother with science?? How is this not more well known..that is awesome...

[@dovbarleib3256]

Tycho Brahe, the greatest observational astronomer in history, was able to pass on his work to one of the greatest theoretical astrophysicists in history. What are the odds that that could have happened by chance or luck?
