    Kepler took his notes after he died. It was Kepler that did the math and worked out the elliptical orbits of the planets. Such a shame that he is given so little credit for demolishing geocentric dogma. Galileo made heliocentrism popular afterward and Copernicus famously suggested it with a crazy mish-mash of complex divine circular orbits some years before, but Kepler proved it..hands down.

    "acquire his data"? How about steal his data! Tycho's belonging were suppose to be sent to his family.
    Am I suppose to believe the man was too polite to get up and take a piss? Gimme a break. if the man was so popular(rock star status), I don't think he'd care if it someone was offended because he had to go relieve himself. I put my money on Kepler poisoning him so he could steal his papers.

    • @Em-sg1jn
      @Em-sg1jn 10 років тому +4

      Actually, there are a lot of theories behind his death. One is that he WAS poisoned, but not by Kepler. There had been rumors that Brahe had been having affairs with the queen. Awkward. Also, tradition stated that guests may not rise before the king, therefore, he could not get up to pee, lest he offended the king.

    • @steckner
      @steckner 9 років тому +8

      +Neoverse No, after his body was exhumed and autopsied in 2010, they ruled out all forms of poison, and discovered that indeed the seemingly-dubious story about his bladder was true based on medical evidence (though yeah, the "rock star status" claim is a bit of a hyperbole).

    He was poisoned, probably by Kepler, if you take a deeper look at Heliocentric model, you will see his also just by changing the centre of mass of the solar system. Peace

    Geocentrism unsurprisingly unmentioned, not even in the comments.

    Kepler poisoning Brahe is nonsense. Kepler never got any data that Brahe deemed important in fact Brahe feared that he might be surpassed by Kepler so he granted him access only to his data about Mars that caused him problems in his calculations. It turned out that Mars has the highest eccentricity of all planets other than Mercury something that contributed to his first law of planetary motion.
