Kepler: The Man Who Dreamed The Universe (part 1)

Didn't know i lived only one hour away from Keplers place of birth and also Tübingen^^ Nick proves again why he's the best KZbin has to offer!

[@ophiuchus203]

The nuance I savored: it was never apparent to me that astronomers of the time weren't trying to figure out natural laws; that they were working on a basic assumption that the motion of heavenly bodies was something more like a supernatural signature, a flourish of divine design meant to be seen by man and by its absurdity call out to be decoded. The idea of natural laws was just not on the table; not a real concern. The implicit message I savored: you've often commented on how religion and science have not been at odds in the way the popular notion thinks of it. This biography through the lens of the history of astronomy is a really strong and concrete example of what you're driving at with that statement. As always, I enjoyed this immensely :)

[@lolvetoed6210]

Phenomenal work Nick… you are among a small group of creators in this field that do the subject justice. I especially appreciate your skillful writing with its infusion of historical context. Thank you - and well done sir.

Your videos are always educational, interesting, and a little funny. I cannot imagine having 13 kids and watching 9 of them die before adulthood. The past was the worst. Dude survived being premature, having smallpox, an absentee dad, bad eyesight, and religious persecution, and still did more with his life than what some of us would do in 5 lives.

[@arongyorffy3070]

Finally, another day where it was worth to get up, as amazing as always nick!

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I first learned about Johannes Kepler from the seminal series COSMOS back in the early 1980s. Carl Sagan talked about Kepler's time as math professor, how his students were bored to tears over his ramblings. This video is even more informative and gives background information that COSMOS didn't really have time for. I like this video documentary a lot. Liked, Subscribed, anxious to see the next video from ParallaxNick

[@superluminalsquirrel9359]

Welcome to the channel, definitely check out Nick’s other work as well. Universe of water and Planet X are my favorite playlists, but his entire catalog is worth watching over and over.

[@meetthecassiani]

Nice intro. Keep them coming please. I love the history I learn on this channel.

[@artemismoonbow2475]

The most amazing thing about Kepler isn't that he transcended his bias, but that we thin that because he did, that problem no longer exists. It is a heroic tale, and for this channel's part, I can not wait to see the conclusion. After a few decades of experience in the academe, I would say, that reputation and money still dominates over imagination or results. Oh god, now I sound like Dr Ray Stantz.

[@hypervious8878]

It was Nick who said in another upload "Science must be pure, before it can be applied". I'm taking that; I've tried to make the same case to friends and family and couldn't say in a paragraph what Nick home-runs in eight words.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Like most people, I've heard of Kepler, and thanks to Parallax Nick's other videos, even knew a little bit about him. This biographical about him was highly interesting, plus there is something about Parallax Nick's voice that I find soothing. As I find most human voices unpleasant ( a result of MHIs, and you can imagine how much I dislike mine) this turns an interesting video into a proper treat!

This video really fills out the gaps from when I wrote an essay on Kepler's life, for science class nearly 30 years ago, by taking notes from Microsoft Encarta! Truly the Wikipedia of its day. Also, since I learned about Tycho Brahe's demise, I've been using euphemisms like "potential Tycho Brahe moment" for when I suddenly realise I've forgotten to take a bathroom break while working. I wasn't entirely sure of his name's pronunciation though (I've heard a few variations from documentaries on youtube alone), so thank you for your research there.

Thank you for that video. Brache's sudden illness raised suspicion that Kepler poisoned him and that suspicion lasted a long time. It was finally resolved when Brache's body was exhumed and tested and they found no traces of the common poisons of that day. I had no idea about much of this stuff though, beyond knowing that Kepler longed to get a hold of Brache's notes. He a hard time for a while. Very interesting.
