Brahe’s mustache deserves a Nobel.
Following a sword fight , he had a nose of solid silver!
Nobel deserves a Brahe.
It was pretty impressive!

True story.
Tycho Brahe: Proof that nerds can be Chad bros too
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.
His discoveries about planetary motion and the Kepler's laws revolutionized Science
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?
It sounds like a great climax to a movie about him. For once, there’d be a happy ending that’s true!
Word
That’s incredible. Because witchcraft accusations are so notoriously based on circular reasoning, which simply ignores any attempt at refutation.
His most impressive accomplishment to me, the fact that he put Tycho Brahe's name boldly on his work (12:58), giving the dead man full credit for his previous observations. How many in those circumstances would have just absorbed the credit into their own work?
About as often as people who know God convince an atheist that spiritual pursuits are also valid.
Okay, you convinced me, lets get a video on the 30 Years War.
And we don’t care if it’s 30 years long.
Plenty of youtube channels have done videos on the Thirty Years War. It's kind of a big deal.
More philosophers/scientists/and mathematician videos please. Its like learning about 2 or 3 things at once. Thank You Simon!
No doubt as soon as he can plagiarize more material ( based on the researches of others ) he will upload more stuff like this ..?
Anyone with enough time on their
hands could do the same !!
@@2msvalkyrie529 ok? But I want to watch a video about it not read a bunch of wiki articles.
Simon, you did such a beautiful job with Kepler’s story. Thank you, it moved me to tears.
Carl Sagan episode for me. Just started keppler
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.
The heavenly twins; Kepler and Galileo...
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!
I would be amazed if western audiences didn’t know what the Reformation was
Notice at 12:58 that he gives Tycho Brahe his due credit for building on his observations. How many would have just absorbed the data into their own work, without the shout out? That's class.
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.
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.
so what scientific breakthroughs have you and your DNA exactly provided us so far?
@@InspiredFortunes what?
@@InspiredFortunes They literally just said they were related to Kepler?
Okay, sure…. 😂 It was a good effort
I like learning about mathematicians and scientists such as Kepler. I would also like learning about Simon Whistler's life. That's be great.

@@ryantaylor1142 THE CLEAR AND BALANCED UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS E=MC2:
ON BALANCE, c squared CLEARLY represents one dimensional SPACE. BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is fundamental. Carefully consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE. Consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE !! E=mc2 is CLEARLY consistent with the fourth dimension AND the term c4 from Einstein's field equations AS what is the BALANCED MIDDLE DISTANCE in/of SPACE. Indeed, what is a TWO dimensional surface OR SPACE ON BALANCE is CLEARLY fundamental (ON BALANCE). Consider invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE, AS the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE; AND consider what is the speed of light (c) ON BALANCE. E=mc2 IS F=ma. GREAT. (Carefully consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE.) ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND necessarily) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). I have mathematically proven how and why the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. Witness what is the blue sky ON BALANCE, as the tides are CLEARLY and necessarily proven to be electroMAGNETIC/gravitational ON BALANCE !! I have explained the cosmological redshift, AND I have proven why THE PLANETS move away very, very, very, very slightly in relation to WHAT IS the Sun ON BALANCE !!!! GREAT. Everything has to be fully AND CLEARLY defined and understood. I have mathematically unified physics/physical experience.

Need him to explain to my ex that she isn't the centre of the universe
are we each not the center of our own universe?
They are called ex for a reason. Like the X mark in a test. They are the wrong one.
Ditto for one of my subordinates at work.
Mine still has never been wrong, all his life :)
EarthForces bravo 👏 that so cliché
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?
And he was given an opportunity to spend one full year of his life honoring his mother.
That’s exactly how life works, pure chance. Just like Michael maestin exposing Kepler to Copernicus
Tycho BRAH
"Let me believe that I have not lived in vain'' repeated Tycho again and again the night he died.
Everyone: God did it
Kepler's 10,000IQ: How did God do it?
Knowing the WHY is not as important as knowing the WHY OF THE WHY.
CHIPMUNK RAPIDS MADMAN
Don’t overthink. Let Thomas Kuhn, the scientific philosopher, handle the “why of the why” situation.
CHIPMUNK RAPIDS MADMAN ‘why’ is a nonsensical question in physics.
I see your point.. the religious thinking the answer to everything was god did it and the end. Kepler was like ummm yeah but how? Today we learned there is no why. Universe is a bitch.
More like Kepler is like..there is answer for everything while the rest of the world believes in the fairy man in the sky
"a lustful twinkle in his father's eye".
Brilliant metaphor.
Trashy
Lol yess 😆
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.
Thank you so much for doing this biography of Johannes Kepler. He is a someone who I admire deeply and respect.
Too often he is pushed out of the way by people wanting to talk about Copernicus and Galileo. Yet his work is just as important if not more so than either of these stars.
That he achieved so much in a hostile environment is inspiring.
That he did so much without the support of like minded colleagues is amazing.
That he could see God's hand working through the motions of the planets in illuminating.
The breadth and depth of his ideas astonishing
Thanks again for the biography of this scientific hero.
Why thank him ?!? This material has all been plagiarized from the researches of others. ! ! Simon knows zilch about Science.!!
@@2msvalkyrie529 Why thank him? Because he brought to his listeners attention someone who I admire deeply and respect. Kepler is a man who is often forgotten in the rush to praise others like Galileo and Newton, yet is arguably as important as both. The fact that Simon and ect used second and third hand resources does not diminish my thanks for their show.
Bye the way, what is your impression of Kepler?
He saved his freaking mother with science?? How is this not more well known..that is awesome...
Bro every time we learn something in world history a week later one of your videos pops up about what we learned about. Love it
Brilliant! Loved it! Kepler has long been one of my favorite, most admired historical figures! Thanks, Simon, for doing a "Biographics" on him! :-)
Excellent. I love this channel. Simon, I wish i could put into words how much i appreciate what you do. I wish i could 'smash' that thumbs up twice.
My favorite channel that provides relevant info in a elegant and straightforward manner.
Thank you so much, this was incredibly insightful (as usual) and really helped my understanding of this man.
These guys were simply amazing. Thanks for this bio.
You are the man Simon! Many thanks for all your videos 🙏🏾
This was a phenomenal presentation! I learned a great deal of new info, particularly Kepler's historical context. We should have an international holiday celebrating his birth and genius. A most honorable man.
Brahe was so nutty, you have to do a video on him 😂
Fascinating. What a true genius who questioned all and looked for answers.
Love your videos keep up the good work
Really enjoyed this, thank you.
You should do a video on Johannes Gutenberg the guy who invented the printing press.
Yeah, there are so many other German scientists which are worthy mentioned.
Yes!!!!! I’ve been trying to think of someone I want to watch this channel cover. Johannes Gutenberg would be excellent!!!
The first printing press in the world was in Antwerp.
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for continuing my education. You're a natural teacher.
Thank you Very informative and well researched
I would love to see a documentary on Albert the Great, he was another early figure who seemed to have one foot in theology and the other in science. He was also the mentor of Thomas Aquinas one of the most important philosophers in history. He was also involved in the very beginning of the university system in Padua, Paris and Cologne. The occult world also has many theories of him, such as he was the philosopher in "Philosopher's Stone"
Agreed...this would be awesome 👍 though he may be a bit hard to find accurate information on...
Another excellent vid on a famous person. Most informative for everyone. Keep up the good work Simon.
I love the way how science and Christianity go together. Also other scientists like Hugh, Ross Faz, Hutchinson, Lennox etc. are a good example of this.
Because the Bible itself is actually scientific when you start examine it, and there are even scientists who testify of their scientific discoveries just by reading the Bible and find stuff out of it
@@husky29xp44 Really? This seems as if it would be common knowledge if true because of Christian evangelism.
Search the Book, and check it out yourself, get a King James 1611 Bible out of a dime store, and start reading it backward and forward if you don’t believe me
@@husky29xp44 Why do I have to find anything with such a large clergy trying to convert me? What are they paid for?
I’m not your typical Catholic or Jehovah witness or Mormon wanting you to paid us for your salvation, I’m your friend, and so is Jesus: because God loves you enough my friend, that he sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, enable to die on the cross in exchange for you for your sins, was buried, then rose again three days later. So that if ONLY you’ll BELIEVE on that wonderful truth alone, so then you are save for Heaven my friend! Salvation is a free gift! As salvation cannot be earn through your own self righteousness and good deeds, go to church, be baptize, and all of that. As all that salvation need is putting your FAITH on the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing else.
God bless your day ❤️
That was cool bro, I like your style, some awesome history there, what a good way to learn! Very entertaining, I'm subscribing...
That was really cool. Please do more about the great scientists. Robert Hooke, through Humphry Davy
, Tesla, etc.
Epic story, sir! Love your histories.
Another elegant video. Thank you.
That was really, really interesting.
Thanks for your great video's:) would you consider doing a video on Michiel de Ruyter?
What a brilliant tapestry of the complex times Kepler navigated. The witch hunts and irrational wars Kepler endured may be inspirational to many of us today.
Great video! While on the subject of ellipses and orbits, please do a video on Hypatia of Alexandria.
Excellent video! I also read about how Kepler spent most of his life in grinding poverty, often working while starving...
any kep1er fans here coming to know what this dude is all about?
Love these videos
Love your channel
You should do an episode on John Dee. His tale and exploits are absolutely fascinating! One of history's biggest badasses.
Harrison Goode
Elizabeth 1s Alchemist.
You are great at this Simon thanks
Love biographics never miss one
You completely and totally misunderstood Keplers meaning of Gods Architecture, he wasn't saying god didn't do it, he's saying this is how god does it. hes affirming his faith by observing the orderly and fractal nature of the universe
EmperorJuliusCaesar the cultists ?
If Keepler was an Athiest how would he ever got the Idea to study how the universe that was not designed was designed ?
Bye the way you know that most scientist are religious rigth ? For an example just look at noble prizes.
The only noble price catagory were Athiest are overepresented is litterature.
@EmperorJuliusCaesar Do you actually have any kind of facts to support your claim, or you only spread opposite propaganda? I'm not saying you're wrong, but religion nowadays doesn't really cross swords with science. Well it does.... for masses that don't understand either really :D
EmperorJuliusCaesar: Atheism, and secularism generally, are far more common in every developed country, other than the USA. Atheism isn’t necessary to be a scientist, and religion and science usually coexist rather well.
its sorta like how im secular but find that looking into the structure of the universe, on the scale of myself
smaller, and astronomically larger
to be a holy venture
the enjoyment of the universe and its expressions
like us beings that record ourself, the universe
@EmperorJuliusCaesar Raymond Walters clearly explained that Kepler was claiming how God did it, which in Biblical teaching isn't at all anti-Christian. In fact such inquiry is encourage biblically, but please do go on with your cult level zeal of how religious people are the worst. Lol, Pot meet Kettle.
It's the people we don't know that moved the legends to greatness
I think it is worth finding out more about Kepler's theology be interesting to see how this played into his thinking.
Outstanding. Thanks for summarizing the life of my favorite Astronomer of all time.
Excellent biography especially in terms of the events around Kepler’s life!
Carl Sagan’s biography of Kepler, within his landmark Cosmos series, is an excellent companion to this biography. Not surprisingly, it expounds upon Kepler’s belief that the heavens were supported by nested regular, “Platonic” polyhedra, and his brave acceptance of the facts that disproved that “theory.”
Man, I had no idea this guy would be so interesting. Somebody should make a movie about him saving his mother with science.
Always had something close to awe for the scientist of this time, Kepler was a wonder!
Defenestration - we meet again my old wordy chum. Simon loves you almost as much as I do.
Please do a bio for Michael Faraday. Another science giant with discoveries in multiple disciplines.
Edit: Simon, you forgot to link the Highlight History channel you mentioned. Also, the link to the Geographics channel is wrong, and will take people to their own version of YT Studio.
You are aware that this is the event where the term 'defenestration' came from, don't you.
All these guys were brilliant! They had no computers , they were talking against what was known at the time. What brains they must have had. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to meet them in person. Thank you Simon 👏👏🦘🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
yes, indeed. These guys were popping up some deep concepts with no coffee beans nor cannabis
Great narrative; great storytelling.
Kepler was so good at what he does that i'm pretty sure he would have discovered how to walk on water if he just lived long enough.
Kepler has always been my favourite scientist.
Well done. Thanks.
I've always heard Kepler's name, but never really knew anything about him. Thanks for your efforts.
Loved this episode, i was really geeking out! Thank you for posting!
Thank you. Job well done.
Thanks on the video on Keplar! Do you have one on Brahe?
Get a copy of the sleepwalkers by Arthur Koestler, all of the early math/astronomers threaded onto one story thread.
Fantastic video always Simon ! You should do a video on Skenderbeg/George Kastrioti ( Albania's national hero ).
Superb … thank you.👏🏻
True science and theology work perfectly together In modern times they are at odds with each other but this is not how great scientists of old saw it .
Pure science and theology always will go hand in hand with eachother no matter what time it is. It is when science becomes wishful thinking or religion of their own, that is when they split. Pure science will always explain how creator formed this universe and never go against intelligent design.
Science is in the business of answering the question, ‘how.’
Religion deals in ‘why.’
Im an athiest myself but I never understood the science vs religion thing. As more things about the physical world become provable scientifically, simply denying them seems really illogical. It seems that the logical conclusion would be "Ok, these processes are provable by natural laws, and effect the world around me, these must be the tools of God. How cool that he's given us the insight to see his amazing work and whatnot."
Thx for your sharing, my son loves all the details and way of your sharing with your light jokes
did you do the voice of Dr. Hathorn in adventures in oddassy? Thanks for this video it was very helpful!
Great storytelling!
this is amazing and makes me appreciate these ancient mathematicians
good Mathematicians are always needed, also in the military. speaking of military, how about a video on William T. Sherman a great general!
Es la historia de una persona que hubiera podido elegir la "prudencia" e indiferencia ante lo que observaba y afortunadamente eligió explorar libremente en lo que su contexto tenía para mostrarle
Ok
Agree with several others: please do a bio of Tycho Brahe
My Hero - no doubt.
Wrote the first eye theory, of optics.
Ñ
Do a Biographic of the Greek hero Achilles or the king of Mycenae Agamemnon.
Thank you....Kepler has always seemed to be the ultimate good guy...perhaps alongside Faraday?
I enjoy your channel, and I have learned several things I didn't know, and I thank you for your information. Have you done anything on George Washington Carver?
Would like to see a biography on Tycho Brahe someday.
Keep the sponsors to the beginning of the video or before the bonus facts. We, your audience understand your need for sponsors, but most agree that it's your best format.
Simon,
you should do a biographics on Simon Whistler. Im sure it would get a ton of views and seeing you do a biographics on your self in the third person would be awesome haha
thanks Simon.
Please do Erich Mielke head of the stasi in East germany.
I'd definitely watch a video on Brand and Rudolf II.
Happy Thanksgiving week!
Steve Mclean you must hate next week.
Simon, on the other hand, isn’t American.
Steve Mclean if you speak turkey, I’m impressed.
Well, I am a year late in watching this but think this episode superb. Ty.
Thank you
I’d wanna see one of these on Mary Shelly, I think that would be pretty cool. :)
Or, you could just watch Ken Russell’s _Gothic_ , then walk around looking stunned for a couple of days.
fun fact: today at dinner i was talking to my dad about the planet kepler 80 a exoplanet that i love or it was kepler 22 b i don’t remeber exactly but i remeber my dad talking about how kepler is actually my great great x 5 grandpa so i am related to him and i actually love astronomy which is really cool!
There were some factions of Christianity at the time that supported the heliocentric model on the grounds that God was the center of the universe, not man. The big problem was that they were not in the HRE, and not in positions of political power.
Thank you!
11:39 Kepler discovers a “new” star. The idea of calling a supernova a “new” star he had from his mentor, Tycho Brahe who discovered one in 1572
Excellent video! Great!!!!
