If you think scientists lead boring, monotonous lives, you must not know about Tycho Brahe. The 16th century astronomer who accurately predicted planetary motion led quite a dramatic life -- complete with a kidnapping, a sword duel and even a clairvoyant dwarf. Dan Wenkel dives into the history behind this sensational scientist, explaining how he continued to inspire intrigue even after his death.
Lesson by Dan Wenkel, animation by Andrew Nam.
The Autobiography of Tycho Brahe: That Time I Lost My Nose In A Sword Fight Over Math
Sounds more like a modern Japanese light novel title.
@@samuraimecha1070 or an isekai anime
Tycho: Isn't that a new star?
Keppler: Who nose?
Hahahahaha :'D
hahahahah
Terrible pun but I know what you mean so haha (sarcasm)
I literally burst out laughing
I'm guessing that was the last time a government gave a scientist a castle.
LarkSachrosis I think Neils Bohr got one actually
@@tightsleights5246 You think Neils Bohr got one actually?
@@rageagaintstheNWO They think Neils Bohr got one actually.
The man was a nobleman and he had 1% of the entire amount of money in Denmark- the guy could buy his own castle.
🤣🤣
It's never boring when you love what you do
The artist who did this was on point. Like really good job. Your hard work is much appreciated.
Lol they fought over a frickin math formula...
im dieing
No word about the tamed but drunken elk that fell down the stairs at one of Brahes excessive parties?
That incident is mentioned on the left page at 0:25
@@danischannel wow good find
Spending days in a laboratory does not sound boring or monotonous
+Jacob Sebastian Agreed very much.
Away from people, locked away in a lab just doing your work.
That sounds like heaven on earth.
Okay nerd
@@beasthunt who gets a lab all to themselves? There are almost always other people around you in the lab. It's more like a restaurant kitchen.
Titrating proteins all day is a snoozer for many people. Just one example. Zzzzzz
What about his moose? You know- the drunk one that fell down the stairs...
A moose once bit my sister...
T'was a elk. Not a moose.
Moose isn't wrong.
wait..what?
wasn't it someone else's elk he just borrowed for a party
I always like hearing about the relationships among scientists and their contemporaries. Tycho/Kepler, Edison/Tesla, the atomic age physicists, etc...
This guy was awesome! not only for discovering the first sypernova, now named SN 1572 (7500 light years away) but also for thugging it-out with his third cousin over math formula! I love science drama.
me too 😂
Woah, what a story 😃 I've heard of Tycho Brahe before & I appreciate getting the chance to hear more about his story, thank you 🙏🏼
"And since no castle would be complete without entertainment, Tycho employed a clairvoyant dwarf as court jester." WTF i died. i feel like we are really not getting the whole story with this castle lyfe Tycho was livin
Holy shit, losing your nose in a sword fight. Thats fuckin serious haha!!!
MMA House Holy shit, having a sword fight because of a mathematical formula. That's fuckin serious haha!!!
Thank you so much for this video.. I've been wanting to know about brahe from a long time..
Thanks for the subtitles i really appreciate it.
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.
Cool story bro
Kepler gave Tycho Brahe great thanks and respect.
thank you so much ted ed team. i like this video. i would like to watch some more scientists story with you , so please do some more videos on scientists.
Why did you leave out that part where his pet moose got drunk and fell down the stairs? That was the best part.
Not trying to be "that guy" but as a person from Denmark and a man who studies its history, you guys got just two things wrong, his cousin was the one that cut off his nose, and he did not pass away from drinking, in fact he won many drinking battles in his castle. (And you pronounced the castle name wrong)
Yeah, and how do you know that, there are many myths around his death.
Evan Luttrell was the sword fight against his cousin actually because of a mathematical formula?
@@YH-cq5qf Yes, it was almost Brahe's last theorem. ;)
To be fair pronunciation is hard when it’s very foreign
This is seriously too funny! Well done. I am studying Tycho Brahe for an adventure game I'm creating because his biography is simply priceless. You can't make this stuff up!! :D You forgot the part about his pet moose (yup, moose!) who drank too much beer, fell down the stairs and died.
Thank you, that was wonderful!
Tycho's contribution was mostly the accurate data he accumulated for 20 years in his nightly observations of the heavens. It was Kepler who made the best use of that data, and came up with the accurate laws of motion, after Tycho's death.
Wondering where Sophia Brahe is. Since she helped him with most of his astronomy work. Especially with orbits.
When you discover a new star, that makes a new star.
Amazing vid thank you ted.
First learned about Brahe from the original Cosmos series back in the 80s.
I love this channel!
Really interesting video, and the animations were lovely. It's kind of funny, seeing as I'm from Denmark :)
You forgot his moose and secret torture dungeon.
Patrick Moscatello You should watch Sam O'Nella's cover on Tycho Brahe.
It was an elk me boy
Elk
Tycho is my favorite band so this guy is my man
You forgot to mention how Tycho's pet moose got drunk, fell down the stairs and died. In somebody else's house. XD
0:45, were partial derivatives introduced when Tycho Brahe was around?
Rumor has it Brahe owned a pet moose, which died falling down some stairs after having had too much beer.
Nice video, but you should've used a map of 16th century Europe at 0:52
The incident with the moose is mention in the left page at 0:25
Elk not moosr my guys
www.norwegianamerican.com/barneblad-moose-or-elk/
Not sure that elk is more correct...
And here I thought that was just the name of the Penny Arcade character.
Did I just hear "A clairvoyant dwarf named Jeff" or is my mind trolling me
No it said a clairvoyant dwarf named Jepp
my name jeff
so good thanks
best airline for this is ted
He could LITERALLY be the next Hamilton. Someone should write a play about him.
Really impressive 🔥
I am Danish and her pronunciation hurts me. (I know she can't help it but GAAAIDUKJSDDGHHH)
TheImpiroGirl I'm not danish but still bothers me a lot
TheImpiro please excuse the hanky talk; As one, I get angry with LOTS of that in my country. (Amarica) sorry ☺
TheImpiroGirl
which word and what is the correct sound?
Hvad?
"Spending hours in the lab without any social interaction" 🥰 Sounds like my dream job! 😂
He actually received a 5% budget, the most well funded observatory in history
Why is he called "scandalous"? He didn't really do anything wrong.
Sylvia Han This video didn't say, but he had the falling out with the new Danish king over the supposed affair Tycho had with his mother, the queen.
Not that was talked about in the video. He was responsible for the upkeep of the royal chapel in Roskilde, and he neglected to the point that the roof caved in. The king was plenty mad about it. He mistreated the servants on Uraniborg to such an extent that even feudal mores of the time were breached.
To be fair, there was no scandalous "poisoning" of Brahe by Kepler. Brahe's body was exhumed in 2010; no evidence was found. His bladder, though...
Yes, apparently Tycho Brahe led a very interesting life.
I thought he bequeathed his rich astronomical data to Kepler, or was it another scientist?
Yes, it was Kepler. And that's how Kepler derived his laws of motion. They really were one of the greatest tag teams in all of science, even though their overlap was relatively short.
It looks like Dr. N. D. Tyson will have to up his game a bit. ;)
I dream of a time when scientists and philosophers live in mansions and castles, instead of glorified jesters and ball-kickers.
1:10 - So what was the formula?
So a sword duel was the way scientific arguments were settled.
Mann can’t believe the formulas then
Perhaps do the same with those who object in exams 😈
His mother war Lady In Waiting at Kronborg castle where Wilhelm Kemp visited as part of an entertainment tour. Back in London he worked with Shakespeare who later wrote Hamlet with inspiration from Thycho Brahe's life and the castle of Kronborg where his mother served the queen. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern were family to Thycho Brahe and Shakespere used their names in the play.
Any movies about him?
Hola. Me encanta todo sobre Ticho Brahe, pero; No entiendo inglish, por lo que me agradaría muchísimo, que lo traduzcan al Español. Por favor serían tan amables, se los agradecería mucho.
Muchas gracias, hasta pronto.
Important link
Damn I want to go to that observatory castle.
You didn’t mention the rain deer story
I'm Brazilian and I need a video of tycho brehe pfv help me
Thank you
Tycho was badass nerd rage.
Ouch.... Its the brass nose part. ow.
Tycho's 'heliocentric-geocentrism' seems noteworthy ... for those of us who do see the cosmos rotating about us.
Thumbs down for not hinting on Tycho's invaluable model(s).
That pronounciation tho...
They don't make astronomers like him anymore . . .Fun guy!
Twenty years of studying and partying! He died at 55 when average age of death was 43-47 yrs. old. Madman of the heavens?
U for got that he had a dwarf that could tell the future
MY teacher made me watch this and it was intresting!
You forgot the part where he bought an elk and they became pissed drunk and then went up the stairs and fell down and died
Dont Lose ur :
Anne Boleyn: Head ☺
Vincent vanGogh: Ear 👂
Tycho Brahe: Nose 👃
Spending hours in a laboratory doesn't actually sound boring at all
You missed out Brahe's pet moose.
wow that nose story got me hook
Thanks for the video but I think the section on his relationship with Kepler is inaccurate - he respected Kepler and shared his data w/ him while he was alive - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#Relationship_with_Kepler
What about the Moose? :)
At least he survived his duel... unlike Evariste Galois
Cool!
i love it!
You made him sound nice!
Wikipedia says Tycho is pronounced Tyge.
Richard Feynman lived life to the fullest..
Sam O’Nella anyone?
TICO BRAH
Lost a nose because of a sword duel over a mathematical formula argument.
Just Wow.
I'm sure the pronunciation goes both ways, but I've always heard it pronounced as "Tee-co".
Say again??? What scandals??? xD
Find it odd that no one in comments is suggesting syphillus as the real reason behind his facial deformity and mercury consumption. Am I missing something obvious?
Nice.
It's pronounced like "tyko bra", rather than "thycho brah-e"
No it's not...
It should actually be more like "bra-he" and NOT "bra-hey" like they pronounce it.
GorillaGuerilla I'm from Denmark myself, and I can assure you that his name should be pronounced like Tyko Braa. If you really wanna make sure head over to his english wikipage and listen for yourself.
And I'm from Denmark too - it's pronounced with a "-he" Sound in the end - and I don't think an English wikipage is a very reliable source in pronouncing a Danish name with roots in Götaland...
And if we are to be more specific he was actually named Thyge - but "Thyco" just sounded smarter... ;-)
Having trouble viewing this video. Seems to get stuck at 0:10 ...
Supposedly he died on a feast at Visingsö Sweden.
You didn’t even mention the moose!
Losing your nose for something academic? That sounds like some kind of apocalypse for us gen-z people.
I think more scientists should be paid in island strongholds.
Never waiting to go to the bathroom again 0_0
is it just me or the video stops at the brass nose part?
It happens to me too
It happens to me too
Uh oh! Can you give us a time code? Thanks for pointing this out.
TED-Ed It happens at 3:27.
Tinapeaches Bland ***** Ahh! It looks like the camera pans out and then stops abruptly. The video isn't actually stopping (as in freezing), there's just no motion to be viewed. Is that what you all are seeing?
Oui ce savant ne nous fait pas savoir ses découvertes et secrets, puisqu'il est mort vraisemblablement, empoisonné par ses concurrents?
J'ai du mal a croire que sa mort est le fait d'une autre cause.
Donc je peut très bien imaginer que son élève, et le reste de ses suppléants, ont continuer les thèses suite à celles de Tycho Brahe.
Cette science là, est malfaisante et suis son court jusqu'à ce jours.
Mince, c'est une confiance que je ne peux pas avoir.
Interesting
Did anyone else read the whole thing at 0:25 ??? hehe
Rumour has it that Brahe kept a pet moose,which died falling down some stairs after getting drunk with beer.
This incident is mentioned on the left page at 0:25
Tell me about it, the whole thing is spoiled at 21s in when his demise is given away, too.
My name is Tycho
The nose at the ending looks very similar to a 😜😜😜.
Gracias me ayudó con mi tarea 😌🤝
i feel like i'm watching the history channel
